Hawthorn are suffering from what scientists are calling "the Vickery effect."

So both Essendon and Hawks lost/losing, all of a sudden the Dons win vs Hawks Rd1 looking a lot less impressive, hoping today's performance is a more realistic assessment of where the Bombers are.

Hawthorn 0 -3 Tigers 3 - 0 Coincidence?

How many times have Sydney midfielders lost their feet tonight? Jack has been very ordinary.

Jack IS very ordinary. Hasn't played good footy for a couple years now. Just ask an honest Swans fan.

Swans midfield as a whole has been ordinary tonight. Can they stand up at the end when they need to?

Zac Jones has been good tonight. He a real goer that kid!

You're right. What a sitter. That might be the game right there.

They never looked like it the Swans. They're in a bit of trouble I reckon. They have some injuries, but their depth has been exposed a bit.

Yep, this. Their top 10-15 is as good as any, but geez they drop away quick after that. Heeney, Rampe and a couple of other injuries and they are looking very vulnerable.

Sydney managed to look old and slow and young and tentative at the same time at times tonight.

What an exciting win for the Pies. They're pretty ordinary but they really do crack in.

Let's see how our boys go tomorrow. Bit of a test of our depth as well.

Can't come back from 0-3. They travel now and play West Coast and GWS next two weeks. They're missing a few key players. Swans Will fight back into the 8 but won't go all the way now. Their mids have lost form at a remarkable rate. Jack has been average for a while now, but Parker, Hannebury, JPK etc have gone from league leaders to average this year. 

Pies are decent middle of the ladder team this year. Hope we roll them twice again!

Yep, Sydney midfield was very slow. Jones and Aliir had good games and make them look a bit quicker than they are. 

Really shown up on the outside. Hopefully St Kilda have their first win against Collingwood next week. ;)

Their tackling is what won them the game. If we play like we did against the Saints we will wipe the floor with them.

    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
