Let's be honest. Sydney have been horrible here and Collingwood are only 15 points up.

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?

Gee, Bruce is an ordinary commentator these days. Shouldn't have come out of retirement.

The commentary has been deplorable....they have been told to talk the pies up at any opportunity, either that or they really are dumb. 

Collingwood were hitting targets in the first Q and Ling was orgasmic, the only problem was the Swans pressure was non existent.

It was like they were doing a match simulation, allowing Collingwood to practice their short field kicking.

As soon as the Swans started to put a bit of pressure on in the 2nd Q the Pies kicking started to look ordinary again.

Come on Swans put it together, bring up the pressure and you win this one.

Ah.. there you have it

Collingwood, Essendon and of course Hawthorn = Ratings

Don't particularly like the Swans (they have had their success) but there is some inner happiness when Collingwood implodes....

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?

A lot of guys grease up so as not to be tackled so easily

It could be one of a number of lubricants. Back in my clubbing days I use to apply coconut oil onto my arms.

Would think that if Harmes/Bugg or Melksham don't come on this year, we could try and trade one of them for Zak Jones and convince him to nominate Melbourne. I think he's coming out of contract, and has a lot of potential as a 22 year old.

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.

Sydney don't look like it, but if they're to be a top 4 team this year, it's the sort of game you'd expect them to eventually run over the top of a Collingwood-type. 

I'm running out of fingers counting the amount of times one of the commentators (mainly Bruce) has misjudged a goal. He's a painful commentator nowadays.

    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
