Waterman has been good 3 weeks in a row. Just like other years they seem to reward accumulation of games over the actual game of that particular round. With Round 1 being the odd exception each year

And Sparko didn’t out a foot wrong the previous weeks either ?

And Jetta more like his own self.

 

The whole backline is more like own self.

Hibberd abd Lever are finding the AA form again and O.Mac has been fantastic all year.

They should have fined Daniher $2000 for being a hairy [censored] rimjob face with no talent.  Sorry, AA forward and mark of the year recipient.  Sheesh, why do they suck up so hard to these scummy scabbed over day old cream pies?

Gees, i was going to give him $2000.00 for that tap to the goal square...???

Didn't want to start a new thread and this seemed a logical spot. I'm not sure how long it has been there but on AFL.com stats pro has video of all involvement in each  game for every player for Telstra mobile customers with the live pass. Brilliant

What a difference (less than) a week makes. After the Richmond game Demonland was sinking under the weight of comments that we don't have enough depth even to make a proper squad of 22.

Not me LDvC.

i have been banging on about this since Neeld.

If you look at my collective quotes over the year you would see a pattern of recognising the strengths of the collective diversity. I also acknowledge the difficulty in achieving consistent maximum result. I also state constantly that that is the coaches job and performance indicator.

Wasn't that a thing to behold, after halftime.

 

Spargo, sparked us up. fantastic. 

TMC's bollocking thru the mid part of the ground, and forward was just what the doctor ordered.

The balance really changed the teams dynamic,  and the opposition defenders really had to focus on these two... cutting back their offence side.

 

 It was pleasing to witness.

TMac perhaps performing the role Pedersen could have done had he been selected in previous weeks.

I have been saying I agree that Weiss is the future and needs to be exposed to the main game but I also think Pedersen is the older harder more developed version of him and should not languish in the two's

Richmond, Adelaide, Hawthorn, Sydney and probably West Coast.

And now Sydney have done a Hawthorn and lost to North.

It's a crazy year.

I think that what sets North apart is that while they have gone for youth, the culture of the club has got them to where they are this year.

Last year they could have put the cue in the rack against the Lions, won the spoon and gotten the number one draft pick. However, talk coming out of the club was the overwhelming desire to avoid that.

At our absolute nadir, we were holding draft night parties to celebrate getting picks one and two.

That illustrates why they got back to being competitive in 3 years and it took us 8.

Bit harsh on us and a bit kind on them. They had quite a few injuries/outs, and the brothers put a lot of time into brown nosing umpires/ not speaking ill of/engaging with, as well as being media sycophants. Brown is the darling and sickening to see the constant dives...

Sydney to me are not the yardstick any more and i think Roos' opinion might be wavering...

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
