Cotchin reported for what looked like a stomach punch. He is a protected species so a fine seems appropriate.

I also believe we dodged a bullet with Prestia. He's horrible.

I don't think Prestia's that exceptional or intelligent a bloke from hearing his interviews, just sounded like an ordinary kid. Most up and coming stars are well spoken and sound like they're smart enough to know what is required to set themselves apart from the pack. Prestia is happy he's overrated as he probably deep down is only happy to be on an afl list and has the potential to make a career of it.

Also has anyone noticed that Richmond fans haven't acknowledged that we would've beaten them earlier in the year if not for injuries and that they think they're a premiership hope and not still around that 5-10 mark that will never go further this year?  They've been the same team for 4 years.

Yep, noticed!

We all know the reason they won that night.

To those that follow the NHL, the last quarter in that match was like a 30 minute power play for them.

I thought his head snapped back after an elbow to the jaw. Different angle showed it better and less likely to be a dive. greenwood will be having a holiday.

 

The main acting today was by Maynard of Collingwood. Should get a warning for staging. Pretty ordinary effort by  bloke I don't know much about, but first impressions are average.

Geez the pressure is on if saints and eagles both win, we need to win if we don't the pressure is well and truly on and it will be tough to make finals with our injury list

Well I Said 'most' - I just got the impression that Prestia sounded chuffed to just be an AFL List earlier in the year in his first Richmond interview. And did not sound like he was determined to become a superstar. He'd probably have been out drinking with Kent, Kennedy, JKH & Spencer last week if we'd recruited him (And our mids were not injured)

Umpires giving St Kilda everything including some of the softest frees ever paid.

I'd rather the pressure on us to prove we're not run-of-the-mill with the reward of succeeding a spot in the top 4. Than hoping Richmond and Port win games against StK/WCE and we safely land in 7th or 8th.

Agree we need to do it eventually if we want to be taken seriously, I would feel a lot better if we had a full list though

That's the unfortunate caveat to this dilemma, i might be in denial about just how much we can cover our injuries over the next two weeks. Our win against WCE had me sure then we'd make the top 4 quite easily and it's a tough thing to let go of now that injuries might be pulling us back to the pack.

We all would, but it is what it is and I'm a lot more confident now than I was Thursday morning.

This game doing nothing to disprove my theory that Etihad (particularly with a closed roof) is essentially a different game than a standard AFL game.

Remember when St Kilda killed GWS under the dome and everyone raved about how they'd arrived?

Its the closest thing to Basketball that AFL will ever be.

This is where it's at, if St Kilda win:

We win tomorrow, we're top 4.

We lose tomorrow, we're out of the 8.

Pressure is well and truly on. I'm so conflicted because Richmond are the biggest pretenders ever and I would love to play against them in finals (or see them drop out of the 8) but having the Saints/Sydney/Essendon surging is a disaster if our injury list starts costing us games. We MUST win tomorrow, or we're in serious trouble.

Agree (it was attempted humour)

    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
