Pretty awful defensive moment from the Hawks earlier (yes I know, glass houses...), allowing an easy goal-square goal to Adelaide that the Hawks defenders had ample opportunity to kill over the line, but didn't.

Had a good chuckle when I realised it was Frawley lying on his a$$ on the ground, responsible for the mess.

Otherwise, great game tonight, a real shootout!

Gives the Hawks fans a taste of what it's like to be a dees supporter week in week out.

Playing in Adelaide would be very similar to playing in Geelong in that the away team has to put up with the feral crowd.

Frawley blatantly holding the man there, would've been hilarious if the umpires weren't in the Hawks pocket and actually paid the free kick to Adelaide right in front of goal.

I tipped them, don't understand why the Tigers are such favourites. In form, sure, but still ahead of themselves.

They beat Fremantle, granted, but look who came close to also beating the Dockers last week...

Freo have been flat after jumping the competition early. Credit where it's due they went over with a plan and executed it.....I just can't bring myself to rate them. I've taken that game aswell as North/Giants each way in my multis. Even with the Giants injuries this is the kind of game North will drop. The two most unpredictable teams in recents times. (Port coming in 3rd)

I definitely rate Freo, but my dad was spot on the money when he told me (back in round 4) they'd peaked far too early. They'll go through a real mid-season slog now, I reckon.

Must say I like this only 6 games a week thing.

If only we could make them all on a Saturday afternoon at 2:10pm and have them played throughout Melbourne in the surrounding suburbs, Collingwood, South Melbourne, Fitzroy etc. That's be a nice competition!

Sorry, I meant "I can't rate Richmond" even after that win. Hence I've taken the Tigers/eagles game each way.

Freo are very good, my only concern would be long jeopardy, hawthorn and Sydney seem to be blooding youngsters and.....we all know what happened at the saints. But this year they are the real deal and looking good for a top two finish.

Gee whiz, I'm sick to death of this team winning.

They should start show replays of their matches from 1925 - 1960, bring them down a few pegs!

Edit: Change 70 to 60.

As long as we don't start seeing replays of the failed merger.

Nope, just our clashes from 54 - 60!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
