tigers at the g don't seem like a massive task anymore. 

 

And yet still no one has beaten them there in about 2000 years.

Dogs hit the post 3 times in the last quarter. If that ain't someone above looking after them I don't know what is. Surely their luck is finite....

That's it!  Thanks.

I wonder when they Geelong will realise their % doesn't matter.  Maybe they are just showing off...

What this shows is another distortion in the fixture.  Non-finals contending teams usually have youngsters who tire at seasons end, with nothing to play for.  They put the cue in the rack.  If finals contending teams get 2 or 3 games in the last few rounds vs them they can get easy wins/boost %.   Geelong have had two very easy wins and added about 20% to their percentage = Automatic entre to finals.   

A couple of friends who follow the Catters are very, very nervous at the prospect of playing us in the first week of the finals

jr, I think many teams are. 

Lots of people in my non-dees supporting circle are saying if we get a run on in the finals we will be hard to beat.  They are tipping two of Rich/Haw/Dee Grand Final. 

I agree with them.  Last week was a galvanising win.  If we don't get 'stage fright' along the way we can do it!

Geelong should have beaten them, Essendon could have over run them in the last quarter, the dogs should have beat them today, we played 3 & 1/2 quarters of good footy against them before we fell away, Collingwood played 3 quarters before they too fell away, Carlton gave them a right hot scare at the start of the season, North and Hawthorn were others that gave a good challenge. The tiges winning streak should have been snapped up ages ago. 

Richmond are beatable at the G and no longer should any side be fearful of them.

Nearly winning is as far away from winning as it's possible to be.

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
