On a sad note, Rivers looks a quarter of the player he used to be.

I thought he'd be a huge beneficiary of the 'zoning' off Geelong system but he looks completely lost.

**** Sydney are good though. Start talking to Tom Mitchell now Demons.

Don't know what you've been watching arrow, but Riv has had a good year, on the whole.

Have not seen the cats so tired and lethargic and error ridden for ages. The Swans are in cruise control. Two six day breaks against a side thats had the bye. Does this give us extra hope for our game.?

An idea for the living allowance which would make it fairer is that the Swans are given the same salary cap as everyone else. Once they have their list, say in november, the AFL then distributes that extra million by dividing it between the 45 players, which would then give each player an extra 20k.

at the moment the whole point of COLA is lost if that extra mill is used on one player. Im pretty sure Derrikx is not seeing too much of the COLA.

My idea means that the COLA is used for what the acronym says its used for.

Too early for the AFL to step in and sort out this mess down at Sleepy Hollow?

Meanwhile those nailed to Etihad Stadium wither and die....?

I haven't seen them fumble like this in the past 10 years at least.

Maybe, to paraphrase ND, "they didn't come out to play tonight"!

As an aside - if Goodes wore red and blue I suspect that his high contact after jumping off the ground would at least "come under scrutiny". (Dawes' impact was certainly less than his. )

It would seem logical, so it won't get off the ground.

After all, certain marquee players probably have much higher expenditures on certain expensive items than the majority.

Swans currently unstoppable.

Cats may have seen the tide finally turn, for the worse.

Wow... They have scored a goal almost every time they go forward this quarter.... That extra mil is making the cats look like GWS...

Amazing

Just announced that SS have their highest ever #disposals in a game

I enjoy it more when the talent is spread in a fair and even way.

Vlad and his cohorts want Sydney flags. We and the rest are merely catching up.

I hope you can understand this.

The swans are only as good as gws is, and the suns are only as good as brisbane bears are, if that makes any sense.

no. Please explain :)

I didn't realise just how good Tippett is to be totally honest, i'd nearly rate him as high as buddy on current form, these blokes are going to be hard to stop from winning the premiership

Best I have seen him play since the 2012 prelim where he almost got the Crows over the line

The fixture and uneven salary cap just make this game such an awesome experience.

Whilst the Swans forwards are imposing the game was won up the ground where they were able to run at will from half back and through the middle. As we know your defence is defenceless if the ball comes in like it was tonight.

The Cats put no real pressure on the runners where the Swans did the reverse.

Super impressive hard running and kicking skills by the swans, they outworked the cats tonight

having a $ million + forward line sure helps.

    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.

    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
