Love watching Sydney play. Every dumb thing my team does that has me pulling my hair out…Sydney don't do. It's nice to watch a smart team that gets back off the mark quickly, has a guy on the goal-line at all times to stop easy out-the-back goals, and actually delivers the ball inside 50 with some semblance of forethought and strategy.

Giants are dropping like flys. 

I'm only able to follow on radio/stats at the moment so can anyone fill me in on exactly who is hurt? Prospects of them missing next week?

Giants are $2.35 against us next week 

Don't worry, they'll be into $1.01 after West Coast [censored] us tomorrow by 50 points, despite us being +30 for inside 50s and +50 for clearances.

Lots of people wrote Sydney off a few weeks back, they just have too much experience, class and are well coached and drilled, can never write the bastards off

I can't stand them, especially after letting them of the hook last week.

Adelaide wins tomorrow and Essendon wins Friday night next week and we'll be set in the 8 without winning a match.

So we have that at least…

Making the finals by default isn't much of an achievement, especially when you haven't beaten a single other team in the top 9.

Does it sound like I think it's much of an achievement?

Guys on the goal-line stopping knee-high scrubbed goals out of packs really do it for me even more than that. Fair to say I loved Jimmy Bartel play.

If North makes the finals, we're 9th. And we will have beaten a team in the 8.
If we makes the finals, North's 9th. And we will have not beaten a team in the 8.

I know which I'd prefer.

What chance of StKilda causing upset. Zilch.

I think the better question is what chance of Hawthorn doing something (Melbourne-like) stupid and losing to them. 

We’re the team that seems to make those monumentally stupid mistakes.

It’s always good when the AFL put either the Saints or Carlton on prime time, won’t be surprised if after Fremantle’s effort today they get an extra three or four Friday or Saturday night games next year.

    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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    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
