That was a great 2nd half, so much better than the 1st. Although dogs have a few injuries. Cloke didn't look to good with his ribs. But it was sort of funny to see Thomas miss on the siren.

Swans doing exactly as they did with Smith Hannaberry Jack Johnson & Reid  in 2010/11. They will be strong again pretty quickly with the same brand of footy

The swans are amazing, they've acquired some of the best young talent around while contending for a premiership. 

I'd love mills or heeney in red and blue

Called it tonight after a bit of text banter with a mate that the Dogs won't make the  top 8 this year.

Other clubs either have them worked out or have adopted a similar game style.

They have some stars but don't have the depth of quality to adapt and go back-to-back.

Dogs remind me of the hawks, won a flag ahead of schedule and still need to mature, don't think they'll be there again this year 

crows and giants are the standout teams for me

So, Abe, do you think it will be the Crows or GWS who we beat on September 30th? ?

That "third man up" decision was an absolute farce -- is there some protocol by which the nominee must notify the maggot?  And surely there must be nomination well before the boundary umpire throws it in.

Another farcical "decision" by the knee jerkers in AFL HQ.

It was bad, real bad.

In the US they would have looked up at the video, but not here, the umps refuse to look up at the video as they don't want to admit a mistake and change their decision. Better to be wrong than admit a mistake and do the right thing.

It's all well and good to froth over Sydney, but they've had ridiculous access to talent with their northern academy. Heeney and Mills would both be Demons if they weren't tied to those zones as we nominated both players in each draft.

Personally, I hold very little admiration for them. As we all know, the AFL can't afford them to slip down the table for too long, so they're granted every wish.

This doesn't guarantee success (as we've seen with GCS), but it does give them a bloody good head start on the rest of the competition.

I just have to say this.  That was some of the most one-sided umpiring I have ever seen today.  As a neutral observer, I couldn't believe how bad the bias was.  North had 21 players on the ground and still couldn't get the win.

I feel a bit sorry for Brad, he looked a little confused. At least he wasn't frothing at the mouth. He is the likeable Scott !

I realise the issue of clash jumpers has been done to death.  But, I was just a tad bemused to see what the two teams were wearing yesterday.  It was North's home game, and yet they didn't wear their traditional colours (which are predominantly white, with blue stripes).  Instead, they wore that predominantly blue scheme that they have used on occasions in recent times.  But, why?  had they worn their traditional colour scheme, would have meant they didn't clash with the Doggies' traditional colour scheme.  as it was, the Doggies had to wear their clash jumper so they didn't clash with North's colours!  If I was a Doggies' fan, I'd be fuming...!  All just a bit strange!!

Much better second half.  

Lindsay Thomas cost them the game with his kick that landed on the chest of Johannisen.  Should have put it to the top of the square.  North are 0-4 and I don't think any AFL fan will feel sorry for them.

Good times

I'm not usually a brad Scott fan but his press conference was all class I thought having a young bloke sitting beside him who has had a tough start to life puts a bit of perspective on things, was good to see

The predominately blue has been their home jumper for awhile now. They adopted the same home/away layout as Collingwood for their jumpers.

Is that right?  Wasn't aware of that.  Why would any club want to move away from their traditional jumper?  (You can imagine the outrage if Melb did that!  LOL)

I know it's early, but a Port loss here could be handy for us. And a big loss for Essendon tonight could see us back in the 8. :D

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
