Ports young kids stepped right up last night. None of them looked overawed

Our young kids simply must get to that level. Otherwise mid table will be our sealing

Cats were poor. Very poor.
 

best - Dangerfield, Tom Stewart , Parfitt, Stanley, Tuohy 

the rest were lost 

disgraced - Rohan, Dahlhaus, Miers

ineffective - Ablett, Selwood, Guthrie, Duncan. They could not run and execute. 

The biggest fail - Hawkins goal kicking. 5 behinds , one on the full .  Three were definitely bad misses that he should have swallowed. 
 

Scott putting Danger forward in the second half.  Crap coaching. 
 

Port applied pressure but Cats choked.  

All I saw Stanley do was drop marks.

Worst part of last night was Bruce McAvaney's Geelong-biased commentary.

That trio or Rozee, Duursma and Butters are good to watch, they back themselves to take the game on and often it pays off

You’re not wrong! How many ways did he say that Ablett was “almost” having a quiet night. It was embarrassing

I can't stand that bloke commentating, he is the main reason I have the tv on mute when I now watch the footy, 13 year old schoolgirls aren't as hysterical as him.

Ever been to Kardinia Park?

I despise Jeeelong

Hawkins had a massive choke tonight

He copped it from the crowd 

don't get me wrong, i'm no geelong fan but as @Diamond_Jim put it, port fans are very much like pies fans on steroids, just hate the port supporter base a lot more.

McAvaney got on my nerves throughout. His hyperventilating when danger scored that goal nearly made me spew!

I am not doubting that. But they are over the Border. 
I resent being sent to Jeelong every year, and love watching them choke

The first week of finals is probably my favourite week. Four quality games is just about perfect for the armchair fan especially when they are played in different States under different conditions.

I find him tolerable with certain clubs but completely intolerable with others.

He's impossible to listen to when he's commentating Geelong or Richmond (and in previous years the same issue was with Sydney and Hawthorn). He's also not ideal with West Coast or Collingwood, albeit it's not as bad.

He should give it away.

So Goodwin still has a better finals record than Chris Scott over the last three years. Geelong need to get over WC or Collingwood to draw even....?

2018-2020 Finals record:

C Scott 1-4

S Goodwin 2-1

I know its only quarter time but Richmond looking ominous.  I sense they are here to win. Brisbane will need to  take all their chances if they are to win.

Can someone please tell Bruce to shut up!! He doesn’t have to repeat everything twice or keep asking rhetorical questions.

There have been some carp games this year, but Lions v Tiges is a cracker. Love seeing the Tiges get rattled. Lions have absorbed the pressure, and their guns are emerging the further the games goes. Rayner, Cameron, Neale, Hipwood, McLuggage. 

Makes me so b****y annoyed that we are not playing finals.

    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.

    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
