Holy hell, Essendon not only made the finals but are leading Geelong in the EF? Casey absolutely destroyed them.

Their team is basically the 12 top up players and some young dons as well. It's quite a strong team now. Will do some damage in finals.

Salem is out due to a cut lip earned at training. Had stitches inside his mouth but should be right to get back in the finals once healed. 

Is Newton or Tim Smith playing ?

We lead the Dogs 7.6 (48) to 6.4 (40) in a close contest

Disposals - M. Jones 17 (6 for the term), Neal-Bullen 15 (6), Michie 14 (4).

Goals - Grimes, McInerney, Oliver, Scott, Terlich, Weideman, White.

Interesting where we go from here. 

Tim Smith playing - havent heard about Newton. Newton is there - heard his name called in the third.

What's the score? got the Essendon-Geelong game televised, which is nuts when there is a qualifying final at the same time, surely you'd want to televise the best game to promote the VFL as much as possible.

Casey up? surely our class and depth will shine through over four quarters.

That qtr I saw a lot more of our AFL guys in the action. Clarrie, Trenners, Grimes, Nibbler, Newton, Dunn, Garland, Weed. Some really nice controlled consecutive possessions, switching with clean kicking, running onto a nicely placed markable kick. A much cleaner style.

But when the Doggies got it, they also have free player options and can get through and around us quickly.

That we are. The depth is starting to show and hopefully it will as the game goes on. The Dogs are very well coached today and they are trying to implement the same game plan that Geelong used to beat us last week. Shut down Dunn and Garland, stop our uncontested possession. They are doing really well so far the Dogs but our experience hopefully should win out. 

In saying all this - if Terlich kicked 5.0 instead of 1.3 (1 OOTF), this game would be over. All getable goals. He's playing well but he'd have a contract somewhere if he was kicking straight. Trying really hard.

Why the f**k would Channel 7 show Essendon v Geelong when there is a QUALIFYING final with 1st vs 4th? Absolutely hate that channel sometimes.

Because our game doesn't feature the club name of any AFL teams.  Dur.

They (7 now and ABC in the past) only ever showed finals from Port Melbourne or the designated finals venues before that. Obvious disadvantage to highly ranked teams winning a home ground final = no tv coverage. Beats my why there are three games this arvo and only one tomorrow.

They show the elimination finals so that everyone gets a chance to see their team play in a final. Losers of the elimination finals drop out.

Terlich has been reported! He is just everywhere this game. Gives away a free kick (obviously) and its gone inside the Dogs 50 (but Michie gets it out of there). 

whilst he is insipid at senuior level, he is handy at VFL (all set shot misses aside). How many will he miss?

Funnily enough Oliver has started to have an influence and he has delivered the last 2 inside 50's and hit Weideman (goal) and Scott (goal) and we have now taken control with a 19 point lead. 

Sorry - radio said Oliver, twitter said ANB. 

Anyway Terls to Weideman into the 50 and Weideman kicks his 3rd. The AFL listed players are doing everything this term and we are now 25 points in front. The Radio so excited about Weid's set shot.

Spoke to Macca at the game. He is confident we can settle and get back on top. Says the boys panicked because it's finals. They just need to get out there and play as normal.

They already look more composed this qtr. Much more playing on and kicking cleanly up field to more free Scorps players. 

Macca didn't hand out this week's lotto numbers as well by any chance? Was spot on by the sounds of it.

    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.

    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.

    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.
