I read comments on here like "player x's disposal is improving after 6 years on the list". At Hawthorn if you can't kick the footy you don't even get bloody drafted. And don't use Frawley as an example.

Unfortunately we weren't a lot better but at least we laid some tackles on them.

Staggeringly poor by Carlton but the Hawks are as switched on as ever, lining up for goals. It's fun to watch

Spot on they kept up for close to half a Q then it was all over...

Would like to see someone belt Gibson in the guts as pay back for earlier...

That looked like a pretty hard punch to the guts. Gibson got fined earlier in the season for that. Hawks are getting a little sneaky with mitchells little dead legs and gibsons little tummy taps.

I'm loving it. It's hilarious. And it's great watching everyone giving it to Carlton and Maclure. The way they're patronising Carlton reminds me very much of the way everyone has patronised us for the past decade. They do it, because they hate us, and they do it to Carlton because they hate them too. So it's a compliment of sorts. Anyway, really enjoying this. I don't think there's any chance Barker will get the gig. Didn't think so before this game and it's now been confirmed. They've been pathetic. They are in for some more pain, Carlton and I'll be loving it. If they try to cut corners again (ala Judd), it will only wallpaper an ordinary list. They have to do the rebuild properly this time, which means probably 3 to 4 more years in the wilderness.

The AFL has to give them a priority pick.

I always said the AFL dug their own hole overlooking us for a PP.

Now there isn't much justification giving out priority picks.

Carlton shouldn't get one and neither should any other side.

Adam I am not watching but I don't find it funny at all. The Blues are being belted just like we were but the rebuild you are talking about most likely wont happen inside 10 years. How do you rebuild off the odd early draft pick to breach the gap the top sides now have? The trouble is they keep improving at the same rate you might because they are pulling in free agents and other out of contract guns looking for the easy ride to AFL glory that more than match your young gun recruits.

Anyway I notice that there are 99,000 people at the Gee tonight to watch a soccer match. AFL be very worried, if you are not already.

So when Hawks pick up Treloar or Danger, what will Gil do?

I'm predicting, "we still don't have quite enough data about player movements to make a decision."

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
