It's amazing what can happen when  a team plays for each other, supports each other and believe in each other.  This is what Melbourne sides had under Northey and Daniher.  That, I hope, will be the n

Hate to sound like a broken record but to all those who excused our last two games on the basis that we were young or tired.... have a look at what a "TEAM" can do. They had every right after the

Great to see the three teams that have won 9 of the last 10 flags in the top 4 again....

Ah yes. Another AFL triumph, the "equalization" plan

The top clubs get top fixturing to get top gates to buy top players from the feeder clubs.

And the funniest thing to me is that it hasn't even been equal between those 3 clubs, as evidenced by the fact that Hawthorn are going for 4 on the trot.

OMG those maggots.....how was that deliberate? What other option other than not to go for the bloody ball at all?

Gift goal to reverse the momentum

My finals moment so far. Rioli gets a tiny tap to the stomach and goes down whinging like a Colllingwood cheer squad member at the dentist.

This shepherding on the mark is just plain ugly.  And the umpires endlessly telling players to 'stay behind' but they blatantly get ignored.

I'm barracking for the Cats, but that was as obvious a deliberate as you'll see. Poor play by Lonergan.

Wow cracker last quarter coming up. I reckon if the umps said go for it there would be a massive all in brawl. 

By the way Chip your mistake gave the cats momentum and they kicked the next 3.

How come:

Hawks always get away with encroaching on the mark?

Mitchell only needs to kick 5-10 meters to a mark?

It's [censored] isn't it. Mitchell is the king of 10-15 pointless chip kicks. Meanwhile Bartel slides through 3 blokes and handballs perfectly while on his back. He's a tough champion footballer Bartel.

That last possession from Bartell was brilliant

Yes! Cats win! Thank god!

Hopefully that's the end of the Hawks. Great to see them finally lose a close one.

Bittersweet. As soon I grin that Hawthorn lost, I quickly remember Geelong are through to a prelim. 

Any of the Sydney, GWS, Doggies or Adelaide will do me.

Smith smirking with his team mates before he kicked the ball, like it was a certainty, and then pumping his fists as soon as he kicked it....only to find out he missed and they lost.

Fan-bloody-tastic.

Couldn't have happened to a more arrogant team.

Chew on that Hawks.

    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. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
