I keep reading in this thread about the concern of a "long trip to WA". I hope it's only supporters who even think that it's a concern. West Coast and Freo cope with this "long trip" every two weeks or so. If they can do it, we can do it. And we only have to do it a couple of times per season. If our team's mindset is somehow compromised by this concern then we're not yet ready to be a power club. 

Have you seen West Coast's record away from home?

Anyone know if any other teams have three straight 6 day breaks with  a big interstate trip in the middle?

We have been shafted by the AFL schedulers, I am surprised PJ let them get away with it.

You're the first I've seen complain seriously about it. Part of the reason it happens is that we had a QB game. Always gonna have short breaks after that. Plus the Anzac one.

I feel like it's more of a Scott brothers thing to complain about everything you don't get.

Imagine if the games didn't go Monday > Sunday > Saturday > Friday... and went Monday > Saturday > Saturday > Friday. Would you be anymore pleased? 5 day break followed by 7 and 6... You ca write off the 5 day break.

I reckon 3 6ers is a great get in point of fact. It's doable.

Just as we had all the good news...

Still. We have options. Gawn coming back and Hogan soon means structurally we might not have such dire need for the production Jones brings.

I'm gonna get more up and about about Trengove coming in now. Fair warning. lol

Chunk out for 4-6 is massive.

Hope he heals quickly and is back soon.

Jones hasn't missed since Round 14, 2012. Let that sink in for a second.

Its going to be weird seeing the team run out without him over the next month. On the bright side, its a brilliant test for our younger players, especially Viney to take on the added load in the midfield.

Also, this is where the absence of Brayshaw really hurts. I'd love to see him play a full game in the midfield and not as a defensive half forward.

It'll be the Darwin game that kills us and we brought that on ourselves.

Good to see Port lining up the suckers to sell their home game for the China fling next year.

See that the AFL revisionists are now calling it a success save for the bad game by the Suns.

We're better placed to cover the loss of Jones than ever before. Max back is a good start.

So Jones out - Gawn in

Faaaark! 

Well as they say, one soldier out one soldier in, it is about the system you know, Lewis brought that with him from the Hawks.

JKH needs an extended run in the VFL. If no one else is omitted due to injury, as others have suggested, Jones out and Gawn in.

    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. 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.

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