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.

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.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
