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)

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...

    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

    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.
