Umpires not having their best night. Looking to pay free kicks and getting as many wrong as they get right.

They've lost the plot. Nothing new there I guess.

Just turned on the last 10 minutes Q2

Are the maggots under instruction to get GW$ into the Prelim?

Certainly looked like it.

Yes that was my thought toward the end of that second quarter. Let’s see how we go in the next half but come what may I think the umpires have had a shocker so far. Paying some very marginal frees but missing the obvious.

Umpires telling players how to play. THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB

If a player goes over the limit then pay a free, Charlie Cameron has a bad arm, but it was his decision to come back on.

Would love to have Hipwood playing for us.  Weid is in a similar playing role and similar stage in his career but seems to be so far off impacting on a regular basis like this young up and comer.  Reads the ball so well and great overhead.  Works hard to get front position and to get separation on his opponent for the hit up.

First line correct - but they do it all the time.  Second line: why he is on the field is irrelevant. AFL must be the only code where the players, officials and commentators have never bothered to read the rules.     The commentators' discussion about what's acceptable is a laugh.  Here's a simple way to avoid it.  Any contact which is deliberate and does not involve trying to get the ball, tackling, shepherding etc should be prohibited contact whether players are injured or not. Would cut out stupid niggling which has nothing to do with footy skills.

Nothing wrong with testing out your opponent. Always been a part of the game

Worst thing about it is the dribble we'll hear from the commentators about it now.

"I've seen the (Hawkins) incident, what I will say is what I think in recent weeks in the AFL is moving away from suspensions.

"I agree with the AFL's approach, you want the best players out there playing so I'd hope there's consistency in that."

Maybe, but these constant elbows to the ribs and the kidneys are unnecessary.

Clearly two very different versions of holding the ball. 

Who is 35 GW$?   Just throwing elbows to the larynx then kneed same guy in the head when on the ground. Dirty dog.

    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.

    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.
