Last night was an absolutely amazing contest.

Mainly because the umps let so much go. They just let them play. Long passages of play without any stoppages, players working tirelessly to get into space and take the game on. It was a great performance by both teams (bar Collingwood's first 20 minutes and their forward entries in the last 5).

How many soft high tackles, slides, holding the mans and in the backs did they let go? Wet conditions, scrappy contest: they let them play.

Great game to watch. Reminded me of '90s football.

Just saw the Adams video incident for the first time

Angry little sh!t isn't he...

Exposed temple area. Very dangerous.

Should get a long holiday but it won't happen

The broadcast deal stipulates that. The AFL want the players on TV. Means the incident is forgotten quicker

Cynical attitude?

Yep....

Yes, was a cheap dogs act by Adams. Not just once either. If he gets off, it certainly sets a bad example to other levels of footy

Adams wont get off.

It'll be intentional, high contact with low/medium force.

If it's medium force I think it goes directly to the tribunal?

Whatever happens, it'll probably be 3 weeks down to 2 with a plea, although it deserves 4.

What a tower of strength and great leader is Travis Boak!

He consoled Ollie and other players last night, looked after his coach during the week, did interviews before and after the game, gathered the whole club in the rooms to sing the song. (BTW, I thought it was neat they sang it as their tribute even tho AFL had asked clubs not to).

He showed similar maturity after Port lost John McCarthy.

Boak strikes me as an extraordinary young man. Not as experienced but up there with Hodge as one of the very best captains IMO.

Not a bad player either ^_^

Boak is awesome. Remember when they were a rabble, lost a coach and president and so he re-signs. The next year they totally turned it around. Boak, Hinkley,Koche.

Your underestimating our very own who i think is up there with the top 3 in the competition.

Personally i thought it was disrespectful to play their stupid 'never tear us apart' song. I also disagree with them singing their team song. Why should they be any different to all clubs who paid their respects last week?

mick's still got pull and he's no longer the coach

Like you, I believe he has got his fingers in quite a few pies.

Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

Last week I thought Richmond were smashed by the umpiring all game and got the inevitable square-up in the last term. They won because GWS were even more putrid than they were. It was a shocking game, and this one's not much better. The Tiges are lucky they haven't come up against strong opponents in the last two weeks.

...and for those

For all those who want us to get Yarran, I hope you are watching him.

Over. Rated!

Beat me by a half second...

He would thrive under Roos just like his little mate has.

Id still take him.

This game rivals us vs lions last year as worst game I've seen.

Such deplorable skills by both sides.

Carlton are [censored] terrible and the Tigers are a joke as well. I have no idea how this side can roll teams like Freo and the Swans.

    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.
