I'm glad others are starting to catch on to what is happening with the umpiring league wide, I'll leave it at it.

Leave it at that!?  Anything specific, SF?

Its hard not to think umpires are not influenced!  This from Channel 7 CEO re TV audience size and scoring: "If we can get Collingwood firing, that helps.''

I haven't followed Pies' frees but they certainly gained big adv vs mfc and yesterday vs Ess.  Umpire influences can be very subtle be it fans, AFL, Ch7 but they are there.

Every chance the Pies will get an arm chair ride to the GF (and maybe a Premiership) just as the bulldogs did two years ago.

The 50m penalties are proof positive that the AFL is run by complete idiots.

The umpiring and the 50m penalties being handed out on a platter are just disgraceful, non sensical and ruining the game. The umpires appear clueless and handing out penalties contrary to common sense

And there you have one of the major reasons why so many people don't love their footy as much as they used to and so many former players refuse to watch the game anymore. I now find myself watchi

Nothing specific, it’s all there in front of you to interpret however you feel

Slightly off discussion is it me or is Mason Cox becoming arrogant? Oh and when the pies fans sing USA, god they Sh@t me 

They probably think it means "up South Australia". Doesn't Mason come from Canada?

The MCC/MFC Board sacked Norm Smith in 1965 as Coach

Norm was not amused 

Its only 53  years

Comedy evolves slowly !

Bombers injury strife. Stringer out for a month and Ambrose for the year. Players for our finals rivals are dropping like nine pins.  This may be the end of their season.

I did notice this - touch wood, we have players like AVB etc returning, and have a pretty skinny injury list, whilst WCE, Collingwood, Sydney, Essendon and GWS in particular seem to be losing players at a rate of knots.

    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

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
