Carlton a bit stiff to lose tonight but the story to me was how flat Freo look. Malthouse had it all over Lyon tonight and if it wasn't for the class of Fyfe then they were up right up the creek. Maybe the close win will kick it into gear for them but at the moment they look anything but a premiership threat.

How good was Fyfe, ten contested possessions and a couple of goal assists in the final quarter

it's abit unfreo like the way they're going at the moment, I really hope they can get it right and be a feature this finals series.

Very; Ross seems to have lost his mojo at the moment.

Fyfe an absolute Superstar. Dockers not nearly as good as last year at the moment. Problems up forward - Pav probably will be O K after the knock tonight - Mzungu loss for a bit will be a problem.

Ballantyne held until the last quarter but another match winner. Dawson still a worry for Ross.

As I have a soft spot for Carlton seeing as my mum barracks for them, I was glad to hear they took it right up to Freo, just couldn't close it off with a win. I didn't watch the game as I had a nap, wether Carlton were good tonight, Freo looked flat, or both, Carlton should pat themselves on the back, winning by under a goal over in Perth to a potential top 4 team. I just wish our game against Freo wasn't as crud as it was :(

Why were Freo wearing their clash strip at a home game? I thought Carlton had an all white strip themselves.

Home team should always wear home colours and be up to the visiting team to have an appropriate clash strip. Even if it means having more then one possible clash jumper

They wore white as part of the tribute paid to the Maslin children, Fremantle supporters who died when MH17 was brought down.

What we saw last night from Sydney is what I expect to see from Melbourne in 2016. Hard, unrelenting two way running and a tremendous defence. The Swans and the Hawks look light years ahead of the rest.

Wash your mouth out with petrol and then have a smoke HH.

Alternatively, you could simply have nothing more to do with your mother.

I posted my awe of these two teams after watching their recent game WJ. I was particulary impressed by both teams ability to dispose of the ball under pressure.

Sadly, however, we look more like playing that type of footy in 2026.

Damn you BBO, I am sitting at my local cafe after a 100km bike ride having a coffee, and after reading this I laughed so hard I spat my coffee over my table. Now everyone here thinks I am bitterly twisted!

Adelaide could have knocked Esendrug out of the 8 but failed hard

Pathetic effort from the Crowbots

Tell someone who cares hh

I dislike the Crows with deep intensity.

Them out of the top eight makes my day.

Not a big fan of the Blues I see BBO

You're right on the money Hulkster. In fact I I think the moderators should give you a severe sanction for showing Carlton any consideration on Demonland. It must violate the code of conduct ...surely?

    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.

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.

    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
