It's so weird watching bulldogs and adelaide play at the G

I like that it's kinda neutral. Either of them getting a home game would be much less fun.

Imagine if we had a key forward that could take a contested mark and a dangerous explosive small forward.

Imagine if we moved the ball quickly.

Now we just need a Jenkins type player to help Jesse. See how valuable hs is for Tex Walker

My own personal Curse of the Pharaohs on Freo for the rest of the finals.

They have learnt nothing on sportsmanship.

The rest of them. Go for it.

West Coast's turn around in 2 years pretty amazing. Players seem to pop up from nowhere, trained, hard, muscles on muscles ready to go....

Personally I reckon the dogs are more style than substance.

Their defence tonight leaves much to be desired, at the expense of an open, free-flowing game.

They're conceding easy opportunities in transition from attack to defence. The crows have had too much space to run into behind the Dogs defence. The Crows seem pretty happy to sit players behind the ball & hit the Dogs on the counter attack.

The Crows just have much more substance to their gameplan. Have plans in place to cope with changing scenarios in the game.

Campo has done an exemplary job considering the circumstances. Nobody would've blamed that group if they fall apart as the season ended, but their resilience has to be partly attributed to the job he's done as caretaker.

Damn, the Crows forward line is incredibly potent. You nullify Betts, Charlie Cameron just steps up. You nullify Walker, Lynch steps up.

You find a way to nullify them all? Sloane, Danger and the rest of their midfield turn into the goalkickers. Well drilled team.

Mono if the player is under pressure aren't you allowed to rush it?

Yes, sure. But I thought that in that instance the pressure was not all that great. After all, there is pressure all the time. Just scrap the rule.

WB v Adelaide half way through first qtr, great footy.

It is a pity that one of these two have to go out. I would much have preferred were these two were to be playing elimination v Norf and Toiges.

Imagine if we had a key forward that could take a contested mark and a dangerous explosive small forward.

Well, we have 1 and 2.....hopefully year 3 of the Roos master play will involve attack! Word is that the whole of years 1&2 were based entirely on defense.

I am not suggesting that he does. Just his master plan to defend before learning how to attack.

    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
