McCartin should buy Watts a beer. As should Patton, Boyd, Whitfield and probably a few others. Watts came in on the back of quite a few gun mids - Deledio and Murphy mainly who had great debut season

I must admit, any time there's a first quarter like this not involving Melbourne, I always get momentarily excited about the possibility of a 191-point final margin.

Nah I am sure we can blame Jack Watts for McCartin being crap ....

Gee Geelong just know how to get it done, which will save them from total meltdown this year.

They were very lucky. Gold Coast were wasteful and missing Ablett

Wow...West Coast is horrid today. Trailling by over 60 points at half time. Do we play Freo out there....the thought is kind of scaring me right now.

GC were wasteful, but Geelong showed tremendous heart today.

Hawkins didn't play, Bartel subbed in the first quarter, Stokes off at half time, Lonergan at 3/4 time, one on the bench in the last quarter and held on.

A great win for a team that doesn't know how to lie down.

This will be the difference between them limping into the 8 with 11 or so wins and finishing 12 with 7-9, I reckon.

Gutted that Clark got a win today.

Don't be...

He only kicked 1 goal when he should have got heaps with Hawkins out.

The rookie fwd kicked 4 with 89% disposal effy!

Clark had a 53% disposal effy...

...karma works in strange ways...

GC blew that game. They had so many possession chains which looked like certain goals but fell apart with a bad decision inside 50, a dropped mark, or a missed shot on goal.

Geelong did well to stay in it in the last quarter down two on the bench, but they are not a finals side this year, far from it IMO.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2024

    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
