Essendon haven't been down long enough. Their fans cheering a 14 point defeat, where their team didn't turn up for a half.

If North makes top four it will be an absolute gift to whatever team's playing it. Plum average imo.

Especially if it's at the MCG. They only play there once all season.

Exactly. Footballing fools gold.

Jacob Hopper just reeled off 11 touches in the first quarter for GWS.  Looks like another excellent talent.

Think Lethal may have a point though. As far as Qld goes two into one won't go. Time we pi55ed Gold Coast off. For starters, no one up there really gives a shite about them.

As for Jacob Hopper, he's just another in a long line of gifts from Mike Fitzpatrick to another region who don't give a rats arse about AFL. Taking for granted the rusted on supporters in order to tilt at windmills.

gold coast are being stomped on by the giants.

 

$cully is turning into a superstar mid.

 

still would like to prise prestia and saad free from gc17.

I'm no longer absolutely sold on Prestia DA. Gets injured a lot. I do know the positives. but...

I wouldn't go that far but as much as I hate to admit it he is definitely, genuinely a slightly above average mid these days.

he's a quality player. you can never have enough quality on your list.

I agree that he is. I just think our situation has changed with emerging mids. I'd rather a gun key back.

It'd be nice to get rid of the Gold Coast, but I think I'd prefer that they relocate North to Tassie and during Scott's tenure as coach.

north coasted once they had the game won.

 

they're better than a lot of people are giving them credit for - you don't finish top 4 two years in a row and not be at least a 'good' side.

Do you think so? I reckon they've been bloody lucky this year.

Wayne Milera looked anything but a high draft pick. Looked timid, and out of his depth. 

That kid is silk. Awesome talent. 

Skinny kid in his 5th game, I wouldn't put too much stock into last nights performance.

Provided we keep winning and go close to finals this year, we'd have to be a big chance of luring a couple of these Suns. A bloke like Sam Day we might even be able to get a bit cheaper, just because he might want to get out of there. Gold Coast's season is getting ugly. Almost Melbourne-like depths of despair from a couple of years ago.

Gold Coast are a complete rabble. They will have an exodus this year that rivals Brisbane 3 years ago.

Oh, it'll be worse, I reckon. The AFL would be [censored] themselves.

If they lose O'Meara, Prestia (2016) and Swallow (2017), they may as well fold. Ablett's practically finished with this persistent run of injuries; I can't see him getting his body right at his age and complete an entire pre-season.

They are treading water and you sense the sharks are circling. That Swallow sought out his brother's team's doctors for a better diagnosis on his knee says a lot about what Suns' players think of their club, IMHO.

I'd love to get Touk Miller to the MFC, he's OOC next year.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
