I am guessing St Kilda have one of the easiest draws like every other season  just based on their Round 1 opponent and venue.

Or they get an irrelevant opponent at an irrelevant venue because nobody gives a stuff about the Saints.  There's a reason we've got a blockbuster for Round 1.

I think brissy could be the big improvers this year. Their disposal is still poor though. StKilda only played the last 15 minutes of the game near anything like a decent side should.

Bloody hell after bagging watts hes played a boody good 2nd half.

I’d say acceptable opposed to bloody good. It will be interesting to see how he goes against a team that can actually play football.

Riley Bonner looks a Star, hope we didn’t pass on him

We did indeed pass. We picked Oliver instead, do you think Port would consider a straight swap?

Hehe.

Burn.

Watts may have 3 goals but honestly they have been nothing special. He has been solid though after a lack lustre 1st half. Helps when you get your hands on the ball a bit.

I thought the game had finished and just saw he kicked another. I agree he’s had a good game but yeh Freo’s defence and overall structure is pretty lacklustre.

Watts had a very good 1st half of the season for us last year aswell, let’s just wait and see how he goes

but 20 disposals and 3.3 goals is nothing to be sneezed at

For Weed they wouldn’t.

He wasn’t the right pick, they way overrated their midfield. 

Petracca is a better forward too. So he would’ve filled 2 holes. 

The only hole McCartin fills is his mouth. 

Being an insulin dependant diabetic and playing AFL football cannot be easy.

I agree. Another reason to take Petracca.

Bucks going back to the 90’s with the old kick ins straight to the boundary line. Baffling. Not even attempting coast to coast.

Why don’t teams put a hard tag on Mitchell? They seem happy to let him get his usual 45 odd disposals every game.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
