My 12 year old son and I just love watching the work of Angus Brayshaw. His attack on the player and the ball is amazing. We've begun to just call him "The Bull". A wonderful mix of skill and aggression, and he is so no fuss about it. Mature beyond his years.

Hopefully we have 10-15 awesome years of watching this star.

Watching the replay. Who'd have thought I couldn't wait for it to come on :)

I feel like some players are being coached really well to play to their strengths. Wattsy has been given permission to get caught with the ball, because they know he's hard to bring down because he's tall, he can get his hands clear, and because his disposal is genuinely clean. As a result our players are learning to know he'll stand up in a tackle and to run off him. Created goals today because of it. Consistency and playing together will always make a better team, and we are only at the start.

So happy for the boys.

well

ANB =. The other small forward we needed.

well tyson was named in the best list at AFL .com so could have played alright then, nothing wrong with him.

I think 186 is dead and buried, it should never be said again.

Can't help but look back at the saints loss and as even bigger missed opportunity. Could have been a game outside the 8 going into the bye.

Still, feels good.

A very happy day. The Dees beat the [censored] and my daughter is about to give birth to a grandson. Not sure which I'm more excited about. Don't tell my wife I said that.

The whisky tastes good! A fresh bottle bought yesterday to wet the baby's head - not sure there's going to be much left. Ah well, there's always beer or champers.

It's a clear and balmy 4 degrees on the golden plains, cigar in hand, stars shinning in the sky.

I don't even give a [censored] about work tomorrow other than I'll be on the Geelong line Melbourne scarf and hat for all to see!

Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

Watts was really good again today. Makes the right decisions and rarely misses targets. And his physicality is improving.

If I say [censored] cats, does that get censored?

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

Good call.

Was talking to my Dees mad nephew after the game, and was trying to explain to him that I see Robert Harvey in Brayshaw. He had no idea, but was [censored] anyay, so all good.

I like the fact that Watts seems to have taken the next step with his game.

I liked the fact that in the last qtr when he slipped off a tackle he put in a second effort which affected the kick of Motlop (I think) at goal.

Was good to c and I am really encourage by his last 3 weeks.

Keep it going.

This is the point - they're beginning to trust each other & play to each other's strengths.

And Gawn has made a massive difference in giving us first use of the ball at clearances. Has a huge upside when he can run out a full game.

Going to have a big clash with NicNat.

I predicted carnage. And put $100 on Geelong.

Delighted to be wrong!!

Happy to lose the $100. (Won more than that betting against them the past few years anyway.)

Go Dees!!!!

    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
