Ugly ugly game at this point. Every player looks rushed and making poor decisions.

Goal kicking in the AFL is terrible. 

Would be horrible for Grimes to have done his hammy again.

This is kind of giving me flashbacks to 2012.  If they start kicking backwards a lot or kick it to the opposition on a semi-regular basis, it will start to remind me of Dees football circa 2013.

we beat them both last year also. ill get smacked by the 'keep a lid on it' gang but really there is no reason why we shouldn't be 4-1... assuming we lose to North

Mape's they have ticked one of those boxes, turn overs. Not much backwards... Yet.

Good point. My mind must have been numbed by the skill level in the game.

Tigers are a mess.

Cotchin is overrated.

Cotchin should be far better than he is.  All the skill in the world can't make up for being soft, lazy and careless.  Jack seems to be doing what he can though which is nice.  .

I'm amazed that Collingwood aren't throwing bodies in and smashing into the contest. After last week surely they have something to prove?  They're still looking for cheap outside ball.  If they play like this against us they'll get smashed.

I think the skill errors will be far more common now with the interchange cap, as player get a little more tired the skills will drop off slightly

Im sure Treloar will be a good player but he is horrible by foot. He is like Tom Scully, He just rushes his kicks.

Scully doesn't rush his kicks, he just has poor technique and floats them.

Shame about Dylan Grimes doing his hamstring again

This game is like watching paint dry 

That would probably be more enlightening. than what this game will tell us about either team.

What a shocker. The pies are no good. Richmond, much the same, but might be a bit better when they get Deledio and a few others back.

In a perverse way, the worse they play, the more I enjoy it.

Both teams should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.  Absolute garbage!!

Couldn't see either of these teams playing finals on current form, number 45 for the tigers looks like he's got a bit of ability

First goal in about 20 minutes comes from a free directly in front that was incorrectly awarded. Pathetic

Im still laughing about Gault!

LOL

I have seen him involved in two passages of play, and both were absolutely comical efforts.

    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
