The Pies have a strong side.  The only real weakness, apart from them only having the second-best ruck in the league, is their lack of a real tall forward.  Not that we have on either, but if you had to pick a weakness I'd be looking there.  Great medium/small forwards, but Cox isn't the answer for the FF spot.

doesn't need to be; just needs to be 6 foot 11 and kick straight! 

they've still got treloar and stephenson to come back in, and unfortunately for them their langdon looks like injury might curtail his career

pendlebury has been such a brilliant player for so long now

hard not to see them in the top four along with tiggas, meth coke, and gw$ - that sort of win against a potential finals team gives them a juicy percentage boost to start the season too

What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share.

It never ceases to amaze me that the Dogs lost their elim final last year to GWS by 58 points - just 8 points less than our loss to WC in the prelim.

Dogs didn’t get a whisper from the media about their pathetic effort. Meanwhile the media labelled out performance a crime against humanity.

Dogs are overrated.

Dogs were just awful.  Bontempelli completely taken out of the game by Adams.  Johannisen  unsighted all night.  Macrea not much better.    If Wood and Keath weren't there to hold the defense together, it would have been even worse as a result. 

Bruce is overweight, and why they recruited him with Naughton, Lloyd and Schache there already is hard to understand.

Here is a idea why don't the broadcasters use CGI and make a crowd for the tv audience 

They could splice in crowd scenes from the chariot race in Ben Hur.

Best way to beat the dogs?

Put in a extensive amount of physical pressure on Bont and watch him go to water. His prelim last year was the same.

Bont is a good player, but until he deals with this, in no way should he be in the same discussion as Martin, Fyfe, Dangerfields of the game.

Jacob Townsend anyone?

Was screaming for his recruitment and Essendon have landed a beauty for absolutely nothing.

Has everything you need in a Forward, can take a mark, kicks truely, applies tackling pressure.

Currently tearing Fremantle a new hole as we speak.

Can't believe people were so quick to dismiss him. #Insane

Can someone explain to me why Brendan Gale, Peggy O’Neill, and Eddie McGuire were not in attendance at their respective games but Alistair Clarkson was at today’s  game because he’s playing Freo next week.

Thats what you call taking the urine Clarko.

What purpose does a President have being there? Eddie gave his ticket away regardless.

Clarkson has a purpose so I don't see what the issue is here.

Hope our forwards are watching the frees being given in front of goals not to mention that if you are a forward you can throw the backman out of the way and not give a free.

Two or three that went the Bombers way decided this game

I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

But  we’ll agree to disagree.

It seems Adelaide’s magnificent ex leader missed an opportunity to snatch the game in the dying moments. ??

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
