Enjoying Carlton going goalless for the first half against a team that’s younger and less experienced.

Surely Freo aren't that good, it;s just Carlton playing crap? It's not like their form in Melbourne's been great.

Good luck to Bolton in his press conference haha

Bolton may struggle to survive come Monday but their issues are also about recruiting. Silvani's  decision to recruit all of the Giants offcuts was a monumental blunder. I.e. Kristen Jaksch was one of the worst footballers I've ever seen.

Spot on re Silvagni, terrible recruiting. Bonus points for recruiting his own son who has constant entitled cry-baby face.

Spoke to Ross Lyon yesterday and wished him good luck today. I told him to smash the Blues as I hated them and he obviously took me at my word.

His son would not play at the top level if not for his name. Very average footballer.

Freo in Darwin is shaping as a testing game along with that last round game against GWS.

Just getting ready to leave the apartment in Kazan for the big match. The town is full of Australians.. not many French. Perhaps like Hawthorn supporters they are saving their money for the finals.

Sunshine and 18 degrees.

Looks like he’s smuggling a few bunches of bananas down the front of his top.

Shouldn’t you be wasted on vodka by now? 

My son hit the bars in the centre of town last night ET. He is a bit slow this morning but he has mentioned scenes of hundreds of Australians singing Waltzing Matilda.

The vodka selection here is incredible. One complete side of a supermarket aisle filled with literally hundreds of brands. Very cheap as well.

Had my first cafeteria meal yesterday. They're big in Russia. At about $2 all up I can't say it was an epicurean delight.

Kazan specialises in horse meat which I am yet to try !!

This would have been a great Friday night game for the AFL. 

How about midnight Sunday without the lights?  Couldn’t be less appealing

Freo  have been pathetic in the second half. Neither are any good

Had the Blues beaten and demoralised by half time and went on to kick only 3 goals for the second half.

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
