I'm not surprised.?

This was the only possible outcome; it was prudent, appropriate and responsible. Our disappointment is immense but within lies a thankful public.

At least the AFL will bring in a mid-season draft so the Dees fans can still enjoy their favourite part of the season while everything else is cancelled.

Always a solid fallback position.

Thinking of doing the same myself.

The AFL is a sexist disgrace. Gil has said he is committed to playing the remaining 16 rounds plus finals of AFL at some stage this year, yet AFLW is cancelled with 3 games remaining. I know this is probably irrelevant given it is unlikely either formats will recommence in 2020, but on principle it is poor. It is time to stop treating AFLW as a level of equality the AFL has gifted to women.

I wonder what’s going to happen to the TV programmes like AFL360 and Footy Classified?

Could make it a reality show.

And by winery tours, you mean going from bottle-o to bottle-o panic buying premix Bundy and Coke?

    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.
