Brisbane was a team rejuvenated tonight. It's almost like they didn't have to prove they needed a priority pick anymore; did the AFL give them some bad news during the week?

As for Carlton and number 1 picks, well... Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer... what more can I say? Watts typifies it for us. Scully typifies it for GWS. It's not the panacea.

Are the umpires for WC v Saints Western Australia based or they just shite scared to pay free kicks on their merits?

Posted

Pretty sure most umpires for interstate matches are based in the state where the match is played.

Ta Lamashtu. I thought so. Just get the feeling that teams go over to WA four goals down.

You mean like beating Geelong at their home ground when they are celebrating one of their all-time favourite players' 300th game? :P

True but a bit different when 3 great players are leaving. Plus geelong just ran into a good melbourne team that day. I mean what were the chances?

Sydney have gotten away with absolute robbery by getting Heeney. He's a freak.

No wonder the AFL intervened this year if their new Academy crop is just as good.

Nic Nat having a fair game. Goals, marks, running, bouncing, killer ruck work.

I reckon that debate is well and truly resolved...

(see "Watt's going on" thread)

Edit to correct Watt's thread title

Free kicks 22-6, reckon that's more than 4 goals start..... They can't be fair dinkum.

Jesus, the scoreline is certainly reflective of the free kick count. Disgraceful.

Essendon pull an impressive win out of their ass as soon as pick 4 is locked up.

What a coincidence. Been saying it all along, they were underperforming for draft picks.

I prefer the explanation that they were just horse poo, myself. I don't want to give Bummers fans another excuse to be sanctimonious turds ("we were a lot better than we showed, we just wanted the picks...")

It's pretty funny that Collingwood vs Essendon got banished to the 4pm Sunday timeslot though, in the round where the AFL can schedule the games when and where they want. It's a rare treat to have both clubs fade in to irrelevance together in the same season.

And Carlton. If only we'd beaten them all...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
