Over the past 2 seasons our attendances have been impressive. Us and Richmond seem to have the best group of supporters. Even the amount of Hawks supporters on Friday night seemed suspiciously low, given their 95,000 members or whatever. Must be bored with winning.

Hawthorn have a stack of members who only exist because they are repeat reigning premiers. They aren't real Hawthorn fans, they're hardly AFL fans. That's why their crowds are so low - they don't have a large contingent of rusted-on, die hard supporters like Richmond and Collingwood do.

Picket stop being a tool, wines plays for port, has done for three years, might be time to get over it.

Essendon's supporter base must be fast giving up on them... 23,000 is the lowest crowd they have ever attracted to the MCG (by approx 3,000).

If they still drew 23,000 to the MCG while they were playing at Etihad, their supporter base must still be alright.

Travis Varcoe kicks a beauty. I can't believe I am going to say this as I didn't rate him one bit, but Collingwood are getting the most return from that 3 way trade so far. He has had a very good year.

One thing the Doggies have a couple of that we really need is a medium sized forward that can kick a bag on their day

We have Hogan and Garlett but nothing in between

We have one...just not on the track yet

And let's hope Petracca is an absolute gun. Geez Jake Stringer can play.

Ben Kennedy looks out of his depth at AFL level. Remember when many people on here wanted us to consider taking him with pick 4?

Nope. I remember a few of us wanted to pick him up with whatever pick we traded for Dawes.

It shows you how brilliant our supporter base is and exposes the fair weather supporter bases of these 'bigger' clubs.

Carlton couldn't notch 25,000 fans last night and Essendon struggle to get 23,000 tonight. Carlton won a flag in 1995 and played finals a couple of years ago. Essendon won the flag in 2000 and played in finals recently. Melbourne won the flag in 1964 and last played in a final 9 years ago, having been through the ugliest decade of football in certainly AFL history and rivalling anything witnessed during the VFL era as well. Yet, we still get 25,000 against interstate sides in poor time slots, with poor weather. Makes me proud to be a Demon.

Our supporter base has copped a lot of unfair criticism over the journey, but we are one of the most vocal and steadfast supporter bases in the league, despite being a relatively small one - at least in terms of attendances and membership.

In conclusion, it is great to see Carlton and Essendon in the wilderness. I hope it continues for the next 20 years.

A day's a long time in football. :P Couldn't be more embarrassed of my club and we managed only 23,000 today (admittedly outside in the rain, rather than Etihad).

Swans are on a slippery slope:

52 pt loss to WC

89 pt loss to Hawks

21 pt ordinary win vs Lions

10 pt win vs Port

18 pt loss to Richmond

Only 3 teams in race for premiership now and 4th spot on the ladder is now up for grabs.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
