    Could history repeat and Petty get another game against St Kilda.

    I'd like to see how all the players lined up in their starting positions.  And how they went.

    As long as history doesn't repeat as to the result and how we played in this game last year, then he is welcome to get another game!

    How often has a player played his first two games against the same side?

    Probably our most frustrating game of the season last year. However, the FD took some vital lessons from that game and it was the last time a team kicked a big score on us in 2018 before the PF (although Geelong scored 100pts exactly against us thanks to Tuohy's last kick).

    Agree, but the problem is the same problems St Kilda exposed last year were exposed by Port, Geelong and Essendon this year.

    If we play St Kilda like we played those first three clubs, we'll lose.

    If we can take the form we showed against Sydney and defend the MCG like we defended the SCG, I think we will win.

    St Kilda are on a roll. I, as I’m sure many others, had them penciled in for bottom 4 this year. And while they haven’t beaten the best teams, they are full of confidence and have a good track record against us. 

    We need to win these games to stay in touch with finals. But it won’t be easy.

    And it probably didn't help that we kicked the first 3 goals of the game. From that point the players probably saw it as a percentage booster.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
