On the highway with Uncle Bitter. White knuckle driving at its best. Mad Max-esque. If you see two empty seats in the throng of the Hill Stand you'll know we crashed and burned

So another game day in an exciting season. I am sure we all do different things on game day and I am wondering what others do.  This is my game day. A game in Canberra, so a lot of supporter

Bloody hell salem off injured. Can this guy not get a break. 

I reckon he broke his leg, so yes. 

This season has had as many downs as ups. Injuries being the biggest pain point.

Looked like Sale broke his leg. He's had a horrible run with injuries and illness. Hope he is ok.

The intensity and effort today has been rubbish again after the first 10 minutes. Our decision making is just so poor. We run in a wave of 3 players, and instead of running it the whole way and using handballs, someone just bombs it long and we turn it over. Happens over and over and the coaches don't seem to be able to get them to do anything else the past 2 months.

That sealing goal against Collingwood on QB seems a while ago now..

I'll always love him for it. Right now though, I think even he wouldn't be surprised to see himself playing for casey.

What's with Mummy lining up Gawn in the third electing to bump rather than tackle collecting him in the head with his shoulder and the umpire calling play on? Should have been a free kick and 50 metre

Unfortuntely the dud coach doesnt reflect back on the past so we cant draw inspiration from that.

The big difference that's on show today is skill. We have too many players who even if they can get their hands on it, are unreliable or just not smart with their disposals. It has been great to bring in tough nuts and scrappers, but the likes of Harmes, ANB, Melksham and even Viney, are just not damaging enough, or damaging at all, with ball in hand.

This then results in turnovers, and away they go.

What is really sad is this club has been dishing up this sort of rubbish for all my 47 years. Till that changes we are pretenders.

    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
