Disclaimer: I think Robbo is a [censored], but even a broken clock can make me laugh twice a day

Robbo on Frawley:

“I reckon he’s a $550,000 mistake he’s had a poor season, he seems lost. He'd want to have a better game next week. Why was it going to take time? He struggled as a one-on-one defender in the NAB Cup, let alone the tactics of being in a defensive group with Hawthorn. He’s struggled as a pure defender on a leading forward.” - Mark Robinson

Missing him?

With T Mac standing supreme in defence and having Dunny, Garlo and Oscar, I can't see us missing Frawley at all.

.........but we would miss Brayshaw - thanks James

Maybe he is more of a 24h clock....only right once a day. Twice a day is far more credit than he deserves.

They really dont seem to play well in those disco Guernseys....

They did look bloody awful...even worse than the wee and poo ones. And there would be absolutely NO clash with their traditional jumper. None whatsoever.

Been saying all along, Frawley will cost Hawthorn the three-peat. He's fools gold and the Hawks arrogantly thought they could "save" him from the MFC, just like Blease and Geelong.

So, so great to see the pricks lose.

Don't forget Mitch for the cats as well....

Oh, I didn't say right twice a day... I said he can make me laugh twice a day...

Small point but a big difference.

Can we get rid of the absurd deliberate rushed behind rule?

Absolutely typical AFL knee jerk reaction to one game.

Has been enforced twice ever, I believe including one that cost us a game v Dogs last year.

Richards just did one of the most blatant and was not pinged.

Just admit it was a mistake, AFL, and save us all more confusion.

Freo look like a rabble against an undermanned Sydney. Too much handball to players a metre a way, no forward pressure. Fyfe playing injured? Can Lyon pull something out of back pocket?

Disappointed that Sydney didn't win.

Freo stank it up and Sydney did themselves proud given how undermanned they are.

Don't want either team to win the flag, but Failmantle and Ross Lyon really [censored] me off.

Their [censored] fans booing Goodes just caps it off.

Amazing effort from the swans, the maligned Tippet, the booed Goodes and the puffing billy Kennedy, Hannebry, Shaw. All exceptional.

I hope the Dockers get done in a Prelim in front of that dipchit crowd.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
