Couldn't get to the game this week, and have just finished watching the game on AFL video. We won that game far too easily. If Freo had the same kicking efficiency as us we would have won by only 20 points.

The Good

Two young ruckman.

Jordie McKenzie (and the serious man-love from the commentators)

Jack Watts. His aerobic capacity for a bloke that size is amazing.

Dan Nicholson

Howe. He reminids me a bit of a young Ken Hunter who played for the Blues in 70's and 80's.

Brad green's leadership.

Scully's ability to read the play at a stoppage and win the ball.

The Bad

Bartram's disposal when there was zero pressure.

Handball that much against most other teams and we will get murdered.

The crowd.

The Ugly

Fremantle.

The Good:

Further developement of McKenzie and Watts

12 different goalkickers.

The Bad:

Jurrah. If the delivery into our forward line was so bad for Jurrah to thrive today, how come another leading forward in Green managed 5 goals and 9 shots on goal? Youve gotta learn to demand and find your own football.

Lack of a crowd.

The Ugly:

The burger bar being shut.

The continual confusion over who Maloney, Pettard and Bartrum are on here. Who the hell are these guys?

It's an opinion.....as the end of the paragraph would suggest. Go easy friend. B)

Fair enough...i just think this is our first real test in 3 years. If the team is up for it we can win.

I've seen you post this several times now, so I assume you're not taking the piss. It isn't "Trengrove", it's "Trengove".

RM I think you are being a bit hard on "marking on Johnston"

in that second quarter he got one from a suspect free kick and another from an out of bounce on the full.

I thought he had all the luck go his way.

Agree with you on the ruckman.

If Jamar, Spencer and Fitzpatrick had not gone down on the one day we may never have seen both these guys play together.

In fact I wonder if Gawn would have played this year.

As for Carlton their day is August 6th.!!

The second Qtr was the only time their midfielders got the ball away quick, on a few occaisions. They hurt us for a bit, then it was all over.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
