O'Brien killed us last year. From memory, he took a game high 10 marks. I'd play Lever on him and he'll be able to sag off him and intercept as well.

Oscar goes to Roughead, providing he plays.

Jetta, Hibberd and Hunt or Frost to take Rioli, Breust and Impey.

Isaac Smith's speed and ball use is a worry in midfield and off half back. I'd play Harmes in a defensive role on him. (play Melksham as second ruck)

I'd also consider trying Vince for a quarter in a tagging role on Mitchell or allow Clarry to go head to head with him.

Why you say that AF? Not watching game, did something go down?

Tigers are closing down the 45° chip kick hawthorn love doing coming out of defence. Making hawks look like a bottom team bombing down the line to either outnumbered or outsized forwards. I think weid will get a game next week and play back up ruck and forward.

Was sore going into the game and just suffered a head knock.

This is the kick that we continually allow. It's the kick that Geelong utilised every time out of their defence.

I agree. Thats probably why i noticed it. Hawks have hit it a couple of times and been able to move the ball quickly into the forward 50 resulting with shots on goal.

Gee just on the train and stopped at Richmond. The games still going and the platform is full of hawks fans. Gee they can't even stay until the end. This is a club that recently gave them 3 flags in a row. Sheesh try supporting a club that doesn't giveyou finals for 12 years.

Mind u there are Richmond fans that left early which I don't get either.

Darcy Parish possibly the most overrated footballer going round. Thank God we went Oliver.

I like how Essendon were rubbish defensively last year. So they recruited 3 front runners with no defensive attributes. Good strategy.

And to think after round 2, 2016 that some people on here were convinced of the opposite.

Just goes to show when you post after a disappointing loss that you should take a deep breath before doing so.

Essendon challenging the Saints for the worst quarter of footy here. Glorious.

The best defence is a mediocre offence.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
