Vlad..our imperialist leader..all hail Vlad !! has suggested that possibly 8 might not be the 'best' fit for finals if 18 teams come to fruition !!

Vlad...what are you on ? Are you honestly suggesting the final series you reign over isnt good enough?. Actually I agree..there's 4 too many teams. But you want 5 more..you want 9 ??

Folks if ever you wanted proof there is nothing more in the itenary for the AFL to extract money where its not warranted then here it is. This guy is a clown. Andrew, there is no ned to change the system just because you want to add more teams. You make a mockery of the competition as it is let alone adding more games to the finals series.

Sorry...I can see it now..9 teams works so well !! how remiss of me. AD..you and the organisation you so sorrowfully represent are now almost comical. Lets admit it shall we..It's all about money, all about more games to air!!

Why not have a final 18 !!..a round robin ??

Vlad..Finals are Finals for a very good reason. They are supposed to represent the teams that have earnt a right to compete for the final prize. This means attrition. Not all teams make it.

I know this means conntless sleepless nights as you ponder how to tell the sponsors..but youre a big boy now...arent you ??

But we do understand the workings of the Death Star. . You wont allow a footy mad state to compete.. you wont implement stategies that may alienate Collingwood. You will persist in expansionist ideas despite council rulings. You will go where no ground is allowed.. in fact it seems you do as you damn well please.

But if a final 5 was sillyness..isnt a final 9 just as ludicrous ??

As it is, to make the finals now a team only needs to be within the top 50% of the competition.

Having a top 8 in a 18 team competition would actually mean that making the finals has more meaning. IMO it should be a top 6 in an 18 team competition to really sort the best teams.

Why would anyone want to see Richmond make the finals?

I completely agree.

Bring Back the Final Five. Team That Finishes Top gets a Rest. Three & Four get Double Chance. Four & Five are on the Knife edge. The way it should be

I am still Filthy that MFC beat adelaide week 1 of '98 by 10 Goals & then went on to win the Flag. They Should have been eliminated. Bastards!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
