Just realized its at a neutral venue too, in Canberra.

Bring it on.

I haven't lived in Canberra for a while now but I don't know anybody there who thinks of GWS as 'their' team (quite the reverse). So yeah, neutral venue.

Awkward.

At the moment Clark must be feeling nothing much has changed since playing for us.

Two highlights for me: 1. The crowd. Four nights after a 93,000 crowd for the Cricket World Cup, another 83,000 show up for the footy! Incredible! 2. Even more incredible was the work the ground

Why are the media not tearing strips off Scully?

$1 million a year for a player who is VFL standard.

Are GWS and Scully beyond criticism?

League expansion was a direct result of Fox/Seven wanting 9 matches a round. Of course they aren't going to be critical of their golden goose.

Caro isn't affiliated with either corporation and has been critical of them, fortunately.

Crows lead by 57 against North with 5 minutes left before half time. Huge reality check coming up.

Edit: 63 points now

Double Edit: 69 points.

The bad news is our hold on 2nd spot on the ladder is looking tenuous.

The good news is one of the whinging Scott twins head is about to explode

North's biggest problem has always been Brad Scott....he does not know how to take them to the next level.

And, I can't stand either Scott...

Scully - 16 possessions. Geez the Giants did us a favour by taking him. Cameron played well but Tommy Mac can go with him.

Adelaide are absolutely dominating North. It's scary to watch and they should be actually leading by more.

North could be on the bottom after this round. Tex is on fire.

North: a team full of duckers, divers and divas. Personified by their petulant pest of a coach.

Goldstein, Thomas, Boomer, Petrie comfortably amongst the most unlikable flogs in the AFL for their antics.

[Censored] culture for a [censored] club.

(And who says I have an irrational hatred of Norf?!)

Sorry, had to do the redacting but agree entirely with the sentiment

How awkward was Adelaide singing the song on the boundary line? Hope that doesn't kick on.

Waite didn't score a point! Great recruiting right there.

Gave away his customary 50, but showed great improvement by not getting injured or reported. No word on if he has any friends yet though.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
