Even though they will win GWS are the losers out of this game. Another 2 long term injuries. Shaw knee looked shredded, could be the end for him.

Shaw looks fine on the bench. Icing the knee. No ice for structural damage. I say bruising and back for Melbourne game. 

Meantime they can’t lose.

Now that the dream of second died with a Jeremy McGovern kick after the siren, let us focus our energy on putting the mozz on North. If they lose and we win, we are two games and significant percentage ahead of 9th and 10th, and the chances of us missing the 8 go from “enough to make us s*** ourselves” to “mathematically still possible but the biggest kind of unlikely”.

God I hope we win tomorrow. I really need to be able to put my mind at ease for a little while at least!

Now that the Giants have cemented their place in finals, they may choose to rest a lot of players in the last round.

If we win tomorrow and beat West Coast next week, our GWS clash in round 23 will be for third. I doubt they’d be so keen to face Richmond at the MCG in a qualifying final to take it easy against us.

The Realists must be happy with that GWS win and Adelaide being ruled out of contention. We don't want to slip lower than 9th

Us realists don't care if we slip lower than 9th if we are out of the 8.  That won't mean much given the nature of the season.  We want to ensure we don't slip lower than 8th.  I bet you idealists will scream more loudly than  any of us if we miss the 8.

Are you really that surprised that after 12 years of not playing finals at all, some of us can't help but focus on actually making the top 8 this year?

If you're going to troll, at least come up with something half intelligent.

Adelaide were never in contention for finals; they're stuck on 10 wins like the Bombers with a terrible percentage. It's increasingly clear 13 wins + good percentage is the qualifier for finals this year, so any team with under 10 wins stealing points off teams above them is a win.

Completely different story for Port who have the exact same wins as us and would've leapfrogged us if they'd beaten the Eagles today. It's really not hard to see the difference and how we benefit from Port losing.

I think you've covered all bases there Nasher.  

My resting heart rate just shot up. Thanks

Ok so we have to win tomorrow. Cannot stress that enough. 

Gee the giants certainly copped the worst of the injuries. I know port lost a few but it looks like Shaw's out for the season, who knows how bad Kelly's concussion is and reid did his hammy. 

Wow the crows just crumbled this season. 

Poor Port though, they led for every minute of that game until after the siren. They did a melbourne and couldn't hold on for 44 seconds.

Is it bye-bye Tex for this season?   

He must get a few weeks for that half-sling/half-driving tackle on Kelly.

Commentators were quick to play it down (as they do with better known player) arguing that Tex couldn't know the ball had fallen free.  Dangerfield got a week last year even tho he couldn't have known the ball had fallen free.  His tackle was far less malicious than Tex's.

Likes being the tough guy but nothing tough about that tackle.

Ryan nyhuis from Freo got three weeks for a similar tackle on Robbie gray I think.

i remember at the time the commentary was similar ‘didn’t know the ball had jarred free’.

didnt help him. Will be an interesting case for the afl of ‘first year rookie of an irrelevant club vs name player’ 

will get 2 weeks I reckon

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
