I've got to say, Collingwood is as soft as butter. Very few beeline the contest.

An amazing 2nd half by Daniher.

Didn't see the first but wow. His decision making and long kicking to one on ones has been the difference IMO.

Who goes with him next week? Frosty seems like the choice but if he has to share ruck duties?

King a "no choice" 'IN' to allow for this?????

Essendon make me sick.  I can not handle losing to them yet again.

Less than 5 days til the agony or ecstasy.

Essendons home ground is etihad stadium isn't it?

In theory they share between Docklands and the MCG but the only Victorian teams they play at Docklands is us and North.

All other Essendon home games against Victorian teams are at the MCG

And I thought the Tiger supporters were feral. These Essendon supporters are down right scary. So much aggression.

Wait till Hibberd and Melksham run out in Demon colors next week.

They will always be remembered as drug cheats. That is their legacy. The most infamous event in AFL history.  No one can take that away from them.

Frost would be ideal. But no one will go with him. Daniher will just stand 20 metres off the pack whilst all our defenders go up for the spoil, which evenif they connect won't go 2 metres, handball out to dropped pie face for the easy goal. Rinse and repeat.

It's more like a half-sucked mango for mine but I see what you mean.

Is Frosty an option PF? That's a "look away" potential disaster as you say.

This is a worrying trend that's pervaded our backmen and also happens up the field a little too often Deestroy. Fix it or continue to fail down back (too many up i mean...allowing the loose man to impact from the spill). Hunt one of the worst offenders atm.

I think it's the team instruction more than anything. If you can impact the contest you go. The problem is they aren't impacting properly, i.e. getting the ball out of the area. Without clearing the area there'll obviously be an unmarked player.

That was very impressive WWS. Frost has really gained in strength and his attack on ball carrier the last few seasons. Becoming a pretty powerful athlete. Like his run too.

Surely Buckley's cooked. Got to be questions over Eddie too, their 2011 list could have continued to contend if it was kept together with Malthouse at the helm. Instead they retired players they didn't need to, got rid of others who tore it up elsewhere (Heath Shaw particularly), and dismantled the coaching panel. Probably cost them a flag with those calls. It's not a question of resources either because Buckleys wanted for nothing when it came to facilities and building his list. 

More broadly the past couple of seasons I get a sense that there's a 'baton-passing' of sorts going on between them and us - prior to 2015 the only players we could prise out of them in trades were overpriced potatoes like Dawes, since then they've taken our discards/underperformed like Dunn and Howe (their BOG today) , all the while we pass them on the ladder and now have a three game streak on them. Notwithstanding frustrations at the past month we are well ahead of them and right now their list is in a bad state if Howe is their best defender and Moore their best forward.

Weekly schedule:

Tuesday: Rant online about pathetic performance, Buckley out, hate players
Wednesday: Listen to SEN expert say what we need to do to improve, agree and look for positives in the side.
Thursday: See changes, be happy with changes, be optimistic about upcoming game.
Friday: Look at opposition team and potential match-ups, look for match-ups we will win and decide we might get up.
Saturday: Get reports from most recent training session, listen to Fox Footy experts talk us up, decide we'll definitely win.
Sunday: Watch [censored] football and another terrible loss.

Repeat.

Makes me feel better ....

    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.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
