Hawks vs Ess on now.  Ess are rubbish.  No system at all.

Eagles vs Tigers on later. - Hope tigers lose so more likely to miss the double chance of a top 4 finish.

They have a bad percentage. A loss today is almost the end of any finals chance

They drew with GC so percentage is irrelevant (unless they're competing with Collingwood/ Richmond for a spot). But they are a mile off being a finals side regardless.

Is it bad that I enjoy essendon losses almost as much as melbourne wins?

I reckon we might have shot ourselves in the foot by losing badly last week to the Dogs. We need to atone on Saturday as we could be gone if the Dogs beat the Cats and we lose.

 

When I saw the fixture had us playing Dogs and Saints back to back I said to myself we needed to get a win out of one of those two games. I just don’t see us being able to win the last four on the trot to make the finals. It requires a level of concentration and focus I just don’t think our squad has. 

Beat the Saints and I think that leads us into finals. 

I hate the Hawks and Bombers, but I’m quite happy to see Hawthorn winning.

I think we can take some comfort int he fact that no matter who wins this game, nobody gets to go home feeling like they matter.

My two most disliked clubs and they are both in the levitating potato category.

Also, doesn't matter for finals if Essendon win, because either we'll beat them and end the story that way, or we'll lose to them and the rest is dust anyway.

Essendon will pass us tonight if they go on to win, but before this board goes berserk at that fact, bear in mind that they're struggling against Hawthorn, a bottom 4 side, and their next three games are against West Coast, Geelong and Port.

Again?  But wait, they didn't tank last time they tanked.

Tanking officially begins this Round

Not sure they're tanking.

They're three games and percentage behind 17th with 4 games to play. Which means they'd have to win them all to get off the bottom.

Which wouldn't happen even if they tried, so they should really be going all out to beat Hawthorn next week or, better for us, GWS or Carlton their following two games.

Adelaide Tanking is giving some young kids a run. Whether they win or not is irrelevant

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
