Ah well, can't have everything I suppose. 

False hope back at Tigerland tonight.

Meanwhile Adelaide currently 15.20.110 to Fremantle 3.1.19. Midway through the third.

Let us (players and fans) never forget we beat Adelaide by 7 goals in Adelaide. 

Nor the fact that we lost to Freo at the MCG!!

I'm not trying to say the fact we beat Adelaide makes us the best team in the league or anything like that.

But in a season where the closest margin from any other visiting side this year is GWS' 56 point loss in Round 1, our 41-point win should serve as a reminder to all of what we are capable of.

'titan', I think it's more about colour pieces these days.

They've got retired champions to give special comments & all they do is fill colour and give absolutely no insight into the game.

The drivel they carry on with you & I could do from watching the tele...

It dumb's down the game...

It's about ratings I know but for me I would rather see the end of the old champions like Mathews, Carey, Watson, Lyon as they have been out of the game to long and bring nothing to the table.

Even Richardson & Ling have been left behind.

Bring in fresh talent for expert commentary every couple of years and keep up to date...

As for the likes of Taylor, Russell & their ilk, surely we can do better...

 

Listened to the Richmond v Essendon game on 774 for a little bit tonight and was continually impressed by the Carlton captain Lauren Arnell's insights as a special commentator. She really broke down each play and assessed it in modern day footy terms. Really, really good stuff. I want to hear more of that from the flogs on FOX/7.

Freo dont deserve to be anywhere near the 8.  Their percentage is a pitiful and they have just been very lucky.  No way are they holding their spot.

Agreed they have been very lucky, should never have beaten us and Richmond

They don't know that stuff.

And the ones that do, have buried it so they can make in-jokes and be "entertaining".

We didn't play well and we get Free in a purple patch which often happens with struggling teams. They have no reverted back to what was happening in the first few rounds of the year.  Think of periods for us when struggling we suddenly play well for a bit then fall in a hole again.

We always seem to struggle a bit after the bye......did we win after it last year? I think we may have....or perhaps the year before?

Lynden just kicked a Filth goal. 

How sad... :(

Don't worry mate, you'll be happy in a fortnight's time when Hannan sits on his head and kicks his fourth on the way to a 10 goal victory.

That would be great. I still have the Ricky Pettard missed mark in the goal square from 2010, flash into my head whenever i think of the Filth now!

North Melbourne has only lost the free kick count in 1 game for the whole year (19-20 against the Giants in round 2).

They have been given an absolute gift by the umpires for the entire year.

Collingwood had 39 scoring shots to  Brisbane's 19 so perhaps the 45 point win does not do justice to their dominance

Certainly wont be a walk in the park on QB. With luck they could start favourites !!

Should have been a 50 metre penalty prior to the call of play on.  Umpire was looking right at it as well.  Pathetic from the umpires.

Do they get paid to not see this kind of thing?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
