Sure did, but he's busted his guts out for 3 weeks in a row now

Get him out of the ruck!

Yes please. It's killing us.

If only we had someone like say Pedo from norf then you could put Wattsy up forward to kick a few snags and let Hoges do more SFA'll when he's ready !

They played their hearts out and dominated for three quarters with little return for a great effort But losing Spencil, Smith before half time and Petracca limited from early in the game was to much to overcome in the last, should have been 5-6 goals up with all our forward 50 entries. Go Dee's!!!

Could of, Should of, would of?

Yes we dominated most of the game for the third week in a row & came up short.

It's just not good enough anymore. Sure we have been smashed with injuries & suspensions but we need to start winning these games no matter what the circumstance. Good teams always find away to crawl over the line. Yes we have improved but we shouldn't be accepting these results.... We reload & go again?

I really liked Petracca's intensity around the ball early on when the game was hot. I thought we was tough, creative and made things happen for us. A big reason we got so many forward 50 entries in the first half.

Obviously the knee knock slowed him down after that.

As did his attrocious Kick to Geelong player backwards

Two Rank, under 12 Errors have cost us momentum and Games. Get him OUT!

Frost - really impressed me

ANB - racking up possessions

It's been so long since we had such a strong team, yet we've lost 3 in a row. The suspensions and injuries are having such a huge impact.  And Collingwood have played Essendon into form.

For heavens' sake! Have a look at his stats, his tackles, his overall games, don't concentrate on a couple of errors

More rubbish, after a defeat? Tyson had 23 disposals, ranking third in the team. Watch it again and you can see how valuable he was

    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
