Collingwood have taken handball lessons from Luke Beveridge -- how many times do they get away with blatant throws.

And outrageous free to Collingwood for  below the knees when it was actually kicking in danger.

The umpires calling rate is so low that it's worth doing if you're only going to get called once or twice here or there.

Tv commentary is puerile. Bruce reminds me of my childhood in the 80's and most things back then were [censored]... cheezles included. Bruce, you are cheezles.

Strange observation/question from just before the game started.  One of the trainers rubbed something on both of Buddy's arms and his arms were shiny afterwards.  Looked like they were covered in baby oil or something.  Can anyone clarify for me what it was?

probably plain ole rubbing liniment

He played on when he was a foot away from his opponent.

Doesn't mean he's still got it as a commentator though.

And I'm thinking about my tips. I got 9 from 9 last week. I want 9 from 9 again.

When was the last time a side started 0-3 and made finals?

North started 0 & 4 in '75 and won the flag.

Why do commentators (especially BT) keep talking about a player or team having a 'world record' or being on 'world record pace'?  It is redundant.

So it's no where near the norm then, if swans lose makes it hard 

It's just an interesting bit of footy trivia ... and an aberration of course.

Keep in mind MD... BT is a very poor commentator. Often just makes shlt up to sound relevant.

Seldon successful

Think you answered your own question...BT is redundant!

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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’

    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
