Around the League Round Ten

The only downside to our so-far improved prospects this year is that it matters a lot to us which other team beats which other team.  I'm forced to barrack for teams I hate just because it improves our top 8 prospects.  Arrrggghhhhh!

Yes Bombay. I think Swans but $3.00 for a undefeated team seems crazy

Rampe is in great form BBO but Richards being out for me swings it in Norths favour.

It is cold but conditions still good.

North are going to get thumped tonight ,they have had such an easy start to the season.

Their first game Adelaide,currently 8th,they beat by 10 points,same scoring shots though.

                         Lions currently 16th,lions kicked bad,32 shots to 28 not a convincing win.

                         US -- 31 shots each and umpiring gave then that game.

                         Freo currently 18th on the ladder and Freo kicked bad 31 shots to 32.

                        gold coast--15th on the ladder 29 to 26 shots.

                       Then they played the Dogs won,16 shots to 15. close game

                     They then played the Saints,won,11.16  -  11.9.  Saints are 13 th on the ladder.

                    Next up,Essendon, they won,24 shots to 20.

                    and last week,fair enough Carlton they won well.

But tonight they come up against a real team, They don't deserve to be 9--0.

Quietly hoping they do. Know a few Norf supporters and they all need to be taken down a peg or two.

collingwood (days after drug story broke)

lions (nearly lost)

eagles (SCG, didn't read much into that)

We will know soon enough.

If Norf win I'll eat my hat.

North are better than Swans by a fair margin, played in Sydney makes it interesting.

Norf by as far as you can kick your hat

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
