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.

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: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
