St Kilda's brand doesn't work away from Etihad against half decent opposition. It's high pressure, high intensity, but it's the sort of brand that has very little to it and won't stand up in finals either. They don't have enough contested ball beasts in the middle.

Agree. Saints wins games on pure effort. They won't do any damage in finals without more talent in the middle. forward line looks good though.

Not going for Port and I couldn't give a rats about them, but they're still making me groan and swear with some of the errors, e.g. the Westhoff spilt mark, Trengove kicking it to nobody.

I reckon their spine is looking pretty impressive, but Stevens, Armitage... Acres? Billings? Ross? Gresham? It's not a group that comes anywhere near ours, the Dogs or GWS' midfield group.

They are mindbogglingly bad, and Westhoff is having the worst game I've seen him play (personified by that kick for goal).

Not to mention 10 minutes ago when he burned his teammate running open into the goalsquare (only to spray his kick for goal) and 5 minutes ago when he spoiled a ball rather than marked it, leading straight to an Adelaide goal.

Hawthorn look beatable, West Coast look beatable, Sydney look beatable, Geelong look beatable, Western Bulldogs look beatable, GWS look beatable, and now Adelaide look beatable.

Are you forgetting someone?

It's funny. It's almost as if they all just want to get to September uninjured and have switched off a little.

Amazing. 17,000 Collingwood fans tonight. If it was Melbourne everyone would be up in arms. The lack of crowds for these 'big' Victorian based sides over the last 2-3 years has been overt.

Toumpas finding it hard to find the ball tonight. Just the seven touches and a goal.

Yep that is a stinker of a crowd and tells you right now how unhappy pies fans have been this season. They are just no interested anymore. 

So Howe took a few hangers did he? Well that's nice.

I turned over from the Showdown for 2 minutes and Howe took a regulation mark. The commentators couldn't control themselves, wetting their chairs with excitement. Just the usual brain-cell killing dribble from Seven's Saturday night commentary team.

LOL. I said Toumpas costs us 2 games a year from momentum killing turnovers last year in the trade period. He just cost Port 1 game. He's a  ripper

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
