As convincing and relentless as the off-season optimists are, i'll still be surprised if we finish higher than 16th. It's conditioned into me now

shine forth upon those darkened hills?

And was Je Roos Salem builded here

among the dark satanic DILLS?

You're saying you got 28/1 for that bet? Mate, you are kidding yourself. I wouldn't take 28s for us to make the 8, let alone with a couple of riders...

no way that is 28-1.

Jesse Hogan is already 17-1 to win rising star. Getting on that.

Top 8 is 15-1.

So to get only 28-1, he has been ripped.

I don't remember saying I put that bet on all I did was put those 3 options in sports bet app on my phone, and the return for $20 was $568

Just did it than, those three in a multi bet for 20$ would return 16,830$

He'd have to be. The show is only worth watching for Stewie and Brian.

MacFarlane should kill off Chris if he has the blood lust.

They're writing another dog character in already. They'll just replace him and move on.

Thanks for making me feel better and taking note of my newest screen name.

Even if we made the 8 but were banished to 9th like the Bombers because of an injection program, I'd still take 9th

I don't really bet on anything so maybe that's the problem

Knowing AFL's even handed approach Vlad would fine us $500k and strip us of points for preseason tanking, or maybe even for our meditation (not medication) program,

Whilst I like threads such as these, and personally I'm always considering where we might finish next year at this stage in the pre season, the reality is that it's far too early to sensibly predict, even guess. We're not even at Christmas yet, and we have had a major overhaul in terms of coaches and players since October, many of whom are just starting to get to know one another's names.

By about late Feb we might start being able to get a handle on the way things are tracking under Roos, particularly now that we have some genuine midfielders to choose from and a midfield coach/mentor in George Stone who has a proven track record in teaching and implementing structures.

The ingredients look reasonable relative to where we were at 6 months ago, but IMO it's too early to say how quickly, and well, this cake is going to take to bake in 2014 and beyond.

But Roosey is very hands on at training, Wattsey is enjoying hinself, and Clarkey is out there giving the boys a boost, not to mebtion Hogesy. Top 4 for mine.

LIke! Got a poetic streak it seems, Biff?

Fair enough. I'd probably think about taking 800/1 - although the one I'd be most worried about is Melbourne making the 8.

I reckon that, although Hogan isn't a mid or a super good chance of winning the Rising Star, 17/1 is an absolute steal.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
