A perfect end to the evening to see Essendon get convincingly beaten. 

All is good with the footy world again!

Scully might be a [censored] for gees I hate taking pleasure in anyone getting injured seriously. 

Broomehead’s injury looks awful too. Poor kid. 

North game next week is already giving me the cold sweats.

Beautiful Prose...could not improve on it

I thought it was absolute rubbish myself. Try putting yourself in the shoes of an 18 year old who is torn between lying or telling the truth and not knowing which will be the more hurtful. People have so overreacted to that series of events and are now showing their true colours with their nasty spiteful comments.

I wouldn’t lie to a dying man, looking them in the eye.

I probably wouldn’t lie now, but when I was 18, it may have been a different story; I would be torn between lying to make his life a little less stressful and telling the truth and giving him one more thing on his plate that he just didn’t need. 

As I said, try placing yourself in the shoes of an 18 year old with very little real life experience.

HT. Even as an 18 y/o i wouldn’t lie to a dying man, it’s a long story, but i went to school with a lot of kids who died young. 

What $cully did to Jimma & the MFC was a disgrace, remember his “dodgy knee” that miraculously came good as soon as he left?

i despise watching the MFC get bent over, it has happened time and time again, that one stung hard

I just watched the incident of Scully and he was literally screaming in pain. How anyone can take pleasure in that, I don’t understand. It’s footy, he didn’t kill your kittens. I mean I hate the way he went about things, but gees a fractured ankle is nothing I would wish on anyone!

Essendons talls are seriously overrated. Daniher barely touched the ball against an inexperienced direct opponent who’s been injured for two years and Stringer was practically unsighted. They won’t make an impact if they make the 8.

I hate watching Ex dees do well for other clubs. Jack Watts’ 3 goals made me sick in the guts for his Port debut. Watching Howe take speccies and become one of the better defenders in the league hurts heaps.

But to be happy with Scully copping a 16-20 week injury Is poor form!

Some horrible injuries today and apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but we don’t want to see this on any playing field.

I am suprised this doesn’t happen more often, considering the ferocity that players collide in a close contest. 

Thankfully he is doing ok

$cully's old man was on the take at GWS before the season was even out.  To crap on with all that "I really want to be a one club player" rubish, when all he really wanted was to be a $ one million dollar player, I'm sorry, but the whole episode from $cully absolutely reeked and I can't believe that anyone would go in and make lame excuses for him, least of all a MFC supporter.

I take no great pleasure in seeing other human beings in physical pain and agony, but I certainly won't be crying if the karma bus has run over $cully.

He lied when there was no need to lie. Him and his excrement of of a father had a deal worked out a year before, and even until the last moment he was talking crap. He looked a dying man in the eyes and lied. There was never a need for that. He put the boot in right when we didn't need it.

So yeah, if he misses a year and never gets that running game back I'm going to smile a little.

Oh did he? Thanks for filling me in, I was in a coma for those years.

I can't ever connect sad football fan consequences with actual real life consequences, but okay.

What an indictment by an AFL captain!   Marc Murphy says his teammates fell into the trap of believing their positive showing against Richmond last week would just happen again against Gold Coast on Saturday. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-31/blues-got-carried-away-says-murphy

Murphy obviously didn't notice they had 20 scoring shots vs 38 by Richmond last week nor that many of their goals came from free kicks.  They were scorched last week yet came out thinking they were champs this week.

While Murphy spoke the truth it is tantamount to saying they thought GCS were easy beats and didn't pay them any respect.  Haha.  Unfounded hubris.  Paid the price. 

At this rate they are heading for the wooden spoon, again.  Oh, and Carlton need a new captain:lol:.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
