This is after a sample of one game without a crowd. The same teams have played the opening game for how many years now? ...and how many of those games have been watchable? If the AFL ne

Why were they playing loud music over the PA before the game when there was nobody even there to get deafened by it?

wonder if they played those incredibly loud half time ads as well. There was one shot of an ad on the scoreboard that I noticed in the Ch 7 coverage but I was not sure if it was live or CGI.

Found the Virgin airlines ad they were running when goals were kicked rather ironic not to mention the NAB ad for all those successful businesses.

Prestia was BOG last night. Comprehensively beat Cripps and was a key driver in Tigers win. Cripps won lots of clearances by had zero impact on the match. Very overrated player IMO.

Jack Martin player very well. Shame he’s not in red and blue, but good to see him playing well. Hopefully fans see more of it as he’s a joy to watch when he’s on.

Surprisingly Weitering gave Lynch a bath. Good sign for the former 1 pick.

Tigers were in second gear most of the night so it was a pretty average game. There was very little intensity and not many tackles laid. Even when Carlton got a run in, you never thought they’d win and it was just a matter of time until guys like Cotchin did just enough to carry the Tigers to an easy win.

Watched about ten minutes and was bored stupid.

BUT am I mistaken, or was there a security guard stationed on his chair on the Southern Stand wing??? Just there to retrieve over the fence - can't think of any other reason for him being there.

The opening round is an anomaly in that it is played over four days but given that we are starved for sport I see no reason why we shouldn't play the crowd free games over say five nights each week. Yes I know there will be a few short turn arounds but it will benefit the lesser clubs such as ours with increased exposure.

Other than the Perth crowd very few will be watching us on a Sunday afternoon this week.

Luke Hodge is the best thing about Channel 7 commentary.

This is hard what with no crowd atmosphere, it’s all a bit flat but my real problem looking at last night and then this game it is reminding me So much of AFLX! Bugger all physicality, there is tackling but it is so often ineffective. This is not doing a lot for me. Oh and the umpires had a big impact early last night with so many frees in front of goal and they have managed the same tonight.

Not sure which is worse. Having no crowd noise or having to listen to James Brayshaw commentating...

He's been great...

Trouble is these guys are great when they are just out of the game then they drift in with the rest as the seasons go by.

Ling was good in his first year as a commentator but look at him now....

Now that Collingwood have been reduced to their constituent parts so to speak I realise that it's their fan base and Eddie that makes me loath them, not so much the guys running around in black & white stripes.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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

    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
