I watched Hawthorn's goals too. 

1. 50m penalty

2. free kick Rioli (hit on shoulder during diving handpass straight after Oliver bump)

3. Turnover after Brayshaw was not paid an obvious 50m penalty when Hawthorn booted the ball away well after the whistle

4. Free kick in the square right after Bernie got his nose smashed.

5. 50m penalty

6.  Rioli, right after his dumping tackle on Weidemann

I think the scoreboard flattered Hawthorn. They shouldn't have gotten any of these.

It definitely did. In the end we were probably 7-8 goals better.

I've mentioned previously how Robert Flower played even better when in the Victorian team because he was in the right spot and the ball actually got to him. Perhaps part of the improvement in Watts is something similar - as the players around him get better, his kicks which perhaps always went to the right spot now actually have the players at the other end who maximise their value

I remember clearly in that infamous Watts first game, he weaved past a couple and hit a fantastic 30m pass on his left foot hitting Jamar on the [censored] 15-20m out on a trivial angle. That could have been the enduring memory of Watts's first game, but you don't need me to tell you what Jamar did with the shot.

Anyone else still sneaking in a watch or two of this where possible?  I feel a bit silly given that it's now Wednesday, but I can't help it. If I had time I'd probably watch the whole replay again. 

The hair on my arms and neck still stands up on the Stretch goal to get us back in front.

I've watched the last ten minutes 7-8 times I reckon

No shame in that.

I've watched all the goals a few times and watched the last quarter again last night. I think I will watch both again tonight if time permits .

I know the feeling re Stretch's goal. It was electric being there. 

Clearly to get my next high we're gonna have to win a premiership. 

Most likely I'll pass out at that point though.

I loved the Petracca goal where Hawthorn virtually took it backwards from the centre to our goal square themselves, then coughed it up.

Or the one from Frost to Gawn, just after Dunstall is talking up how hard it is to pick a way through Hawthorn's zone defence.

Watched for maybe the fifth time

I laughed again as that <noun: person who tosses> Derwayyyn, whose contributions to football commentary are restricted to inane comments, obvious observations, and calling out a succession of players names, at the boundary throw in prior to Hunt's opening goal, called "McEvoy, Jones, Hunt" when the ruck contest was if not break even then won by Gawnius Maximus.

One of my favourite bits out of many

Frost takes a mark at HB. 

David King "This is where Hawthorn have been so good, their defensive grid, we don't celebrate it enough. I don't think enough is made of the defensive grid of the Hawks and just how effective it is"

Brad Johnson "Yes, from the aerial shot it is magnificent to watch Kingy"

Frost then runs around the man on the mark, don't argues Hodge, gains another ten metres and kicks to Gawn who goals

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
