Need an injection of thymosin beta 4

Ha, nice one. All three have had great stories/careers but it's crunch time for Hoarse come years end. They haven't got the mix of inside/outside quite right.

If the Swans pick up for arguments sake Yarran, recycle a tall defender, and genuine crumbing small plus they will snavel another quality mid through the academy they're away again. They can afford to loose an inside mid and a top end draft pick.

Fair call, there was a ready made defender who may go 5-10 in the draft , I mentioned his name a week or so ago( just can't think of it now). Can they trade established player for pick?

Not sure of all the details, except they certainly cannot trade a big name player in.

The should take the AFL to court

Giants vs the Druggies. I'm not sure which side I want to fail more. Fortunately it's an ugly low-scoring game, so they both look pretty crap right now. You'd back us to beat either side based on this.

Scully subbed off with a shoulder injury. Not that we hold any ill-feeling towards the lad or anything.

Edit: He had 5 touches to 3/4 time! Worth every cent!

Should be a good run to the finals. North, Richmond, Geelong, Adelaide and now GWS will all be just one win apart with four games to play.

GWS need to beat Port next week, but if they can get that win, and assuming they beat Carlton at home in Round 22, they could well be playing for a finals spot when they play us in the last round. Would make the game that much more interesting if so.

Geelong and Adelaide may well be playing off in Round 23 for the other finals spot, the way things are going.

And the strange thing about that would also be what happened the last time they were due to play. Would be extra cruel if Adelaide missed out by half a game. I think they'll make it, though.

Wish all the other teams the best

A bit like Goddard moving from the Saints to the Druggies searching for the ultimate prize :-))

I love what the Dogs are doing and I think they'll be too good for us at Etihad, but I've just had a look at their draw.

They haven't beaten a top 8 side since Round 5. In fact, they even haven't played a side in the top 8 since Round 9. Since they bye they've played Geelong, who weren't in the 8 at the time, and otherwise have played 7 of the bottom 8, with the 8th side (us) to come this week. That's a ridiculously soft draw.

I noticed that as well tu...it just shows how ordinary all but the top 4 teams are this year.

I guess they can only beat who they play and they have done that very well.

Such is the good fortune when a bottom 6 side has talent and hits form.

Port were bottom 6 and had a 'soft' draw in Hinkley's first year. They also made the most of the opportunity.

It is a fabulous time to build belief and confidence that comes from winning regularly.

Of course the following year the draw is harder but some of that 'winning culture' carries over.

Next year will be our opportunity to take advantage of a bottom 6 draw!

Learn to win! Then, learn to 'put teams to the sword'!

    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.

    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.
