That’s a great story:

First game.

First final.

First Grand Final.

 

He’s efficient.

Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before.

Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them.

West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six.

Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see.

Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. 

We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close.

So true. I wonder if a new Captain will be announced next week?

Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. 

I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well 

I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership

There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game.

No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it.

They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one.

Must ruffle some feathers.

If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it.

Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over.

One day they are not going to come back.

I hope it's this one...

I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list.

I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly.

I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh.

Sounds very much like you're more hopeful than anything else, mate.

Richmond win it unfortunately.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
