have to say, we have not watched one minute of the game , not even listened to it , been to the show and it was packed , never seen so many people there , even driving home , more traffic than I thought we would see.

It seems more and more people are getting bored with the same teams fighting it out , last few years seems its either hawks, geelong , sydney , add in collingwood ( bar this year ) and the care factor is getting less

My work normally closes today but its been open as my staff wanted to and been busy all day

is it just me ? feeling this way ? I have spoken to many customers this week and they still have a BBQ or something to go to but most didn't care who won or even played ?

I'm tired out from hard woprk on a mates farm over the weeks.

put on the telly & have been Channel surfing. would be interested in Swans going well, but now sick of the hawks 8 yrs or so. bored with the AFL's same old same old. Cannot watch the TV which is running in the background.

If I wasn't so tired I'd be out in the garden this afternoon.

Wonder how many years it'll take the AFL to do something, if anything, when we see the Hawks and Swans play off in another 2 or 3 grand finals over the next 5 years. The AFL is just becoming a joke and free agency will destroy the game.

(might be 4 or 5 beers down)

I have a zero care factor. I dislike Hawthorn with a passion. I am doing some paperwork rather than watch Hawthorn.

It just hurts. Today really rubs it in for a Dees supporter.

We might not ever get a chance to see a flag.

First time I've thought that in a long long long time.

I am actually a bit deflated today, I haven't had a joint in ten years.

Today, I will admit I am a bit depressed and might roll a number.

Bit Fk'd off with the AFL atm.

We are going places. Just have to stay positive. The difference Roos made to our list in one off season was huge, and he'll do that again. He should improve us by at least 40 - 50% with better players.

Remember, North missed finals last year because they lost 6 or 7 matches by less than 20 points. I think we managed to the same this year. North played in a preliminary the season after. The losses and disappointment need to burn in our players, and they need to react accordingly, which all comes from culture. And our culture will come from Roos who is masterful in all aspects of a footy club.

We might not play a grand final for a long time, but we're heading in the right direction.

The bland final. Funny how since free agency arrived the same clubs have been up

Definitely no coincidence but I feel vindicated that the Swans have lost despite their aggressive use of free agency in their list management. Maybe they're just ahead of the rest of the league. Evolve or die.

Care factor less than zero.

Anger factor: through the roof. Competition divided into haves and have-nots. Wonder what Swans or Hawks thought about our asking for a priority pick?

I hate the poo wees! Sick of seeing them dominate while other Victorian clubs suffer.

Can't wait for the winds of change to blow through and see them fall while we rise. Can't wait until we belt them and watch the poo wees supporters exit the stands during the 4th.

Don't you just love the Hawks supporters who laughed at our priority pick request?

*cough* Jarryd Roughead *cough* 5 goals in the GF *cough* was a priority pick *cough*

You should get that cough looked at. It could net you a punch in the mouth.

Well if I hit the town in Sydney tonight and run my mouth, that's a fait accompli.

Well I fell asleep. Hate Hawks and don't like the way the AFL is structured

Haha, I washed and vaccumed the cars, didn't watch a second. Couldn't give a stuff about the match, so boooooring.

While I did watch the game, I also cooked lunch during it and spent a fair bit of time doing other things with the game as background.

Now that Kennett's gone, and Franklin was lost to Free Agency (as well as Young), the arrogance has eased a little at Hawthorn, and I can honestly think this premiership is legit.

Glad it wasn't Sydney. In a fair competition with only one set of rules they wouldn't have been top 4 this year.

The gut feeling of horror is, will Hawthorn ever slide? If they can now keep bringing in quality players through Free Agency, who are willing to take a pay cut to be there (Lake took an estimated $200k a year cut to move to Hawthorn), what could make them slip?

Ryder Cup was really good after 3/4 time.

Agreed, it's frightening for clubs like us. We have to look at Port, who rose up the ladder after free agency, and remain hopeful that we can reach success.

I'm not happy that the hawks won so easily. Would have been great if it was a close game or is Swans had won.

You guys are a bunch of wingers. It's the grand final.

I hated that Hawthorn won, but was blown away by how good they were.

They had winners all over the ground. Everyone played there role.

I bet most of you dont turn up to etihad when we play.

I watched every second and loved it. Im wasted but thats besides the point.

Luke Hodge is a Legend, Langford is the next lenny Hayes and Roughy is the new prototype.

Glad Franklin missed out but feel bad for saints with the big boy swapinv teams, dogs act

Anyway more beer...

    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
