Dermot Brereton is a terrible commentator. He speaks so much shite.

He knows his stuff. He just feels the need to tell us all of it in the one game.

Cross is too slow. Has lots of courage, but every week gets hurt going the other way, unless he can kick 3 goals a game to make up for the goals he leaks. I love his endeavour but we need players that can run both ways. If Matt Jones doesn't play (and I believe he shouldn't who do you replace him with?)

what happened to Spencer ?

Are you asking in the general sense of "what's happened to him, why is he so bad?"

Or are you wondering why he's injured? Because if so he got pushed in a contest and was injured. No free was paid.

I'd replace him with a stick.

Seriously doubt he will be playing next year. Least of our problems anyway.

I reckon Kent will replace him next week DS

The 2nd one :) Thanks Jaded

We have a terribly inexperienced side out there today, playing the ladder leader at their home ground. Too many of our players don't have AFL skills. Our Captain playing his 200th game, has no impact and is off before half time. The umpires as usual are killing us.

Considering all that, I don't think it is so bad, SO FAR.

We aren't very good (you're welcome for that incredible insight).

BUT footy on the TV is ruined by both networks pandering to clubs with bigger supporter bases. We get absolutely annihilated in the commentary, often at times being spoken to in reference to what the opposition team is doing even when running into goal. Meanwhile I've had the misfortune of watching Essendon games on TV over the last few weeks and the way they are spoken about, even though they are struggling, makes me sick. Doggies copped it until this year, Saints get it a fair bit too.

It's just another nail in the coffin of smaller teams, but thats not what annoys me - what annoys me is it's a short sighted strategy, as it actually makes 80% of the games poor viewing, and will damage an audiences interest long term.

Training drill. It's been very very bad.

We can't get our hands on the footy and when we do we can't kick it. It's ugly.

Last game next week, I would play him. Harmes and Brayshaw. Young side, but might be worth a look

Why is Matt Jones even playing?

Whenever Roosy wants "angry" there's only one player to turn to!

Cross is finished . Completely cooked. He spoils his own player in the final line of defence after he was slow to keep up with his man at the opening bounce. Reputations should count for nothing

Who knows. He won't be on the list next year anyway.

Shall I send u the soap wise! That could be construed as super negative. I hope you're prepared for a post match spray!

    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. 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
