I feel like I’ve been to a wake yet we won by five goals. Whether that’s a good thing or not I haven’t yet worked out. ??‍♂️

I'm glad our really bad games are still wins these days.

Swyl a 3 point win in round 1 can give a better percentage than a 30 point win. Total for v total against.

Yes i am aware of that. But the more games played, the higher the differential must be to keep a high %

With hindsight even though this was top v bottom...North had a lot to play for.

Gunning for tgeir first win.

Their first game at their home away from home.

Ben b against his old side.

Our record at this ground.

We were probably too relaxed.

No, if you maintain the same winning ratio the percentage is the same. One game 100 or 1000 the number of games is irrelevant.

The more games the harder it is to change the percentage by large amounts

Not necessarily, SWYL.  For example, if we go into round 20 with a percentage of 150 and win 60 points to 40, our percentage would remain at 150%.

it isn’t the amount of games won.

It seemed like the umpires were instructed to call no 15 and play on at every opportunity to keep the game moving.

An effort to justify the call in the Swans/Geelong game last night?

The game makes heaps more sense and then becomes a bit funnier if you imagine Brayshaw had a few cones in advance. Also ducked down to the changerooms for top-up in the last quarter. He and Jones managed to [censored] up just about every forward thrust they were involved in by being super-[censored] non-Matrix. Add ANB and Tomald in that. If Kozzie is near the ball, please just [censored] off.

Why do I feel so flat?

Lots of uncertainty about our backline all of a sudden, and Brown didn't fit all that well into our forward line if I'm honest.

Expand  

Cause we play crap in the first half. Looked like Melb of old. 
 

Give BB more time chooks it was his first game. It will click.

Get Baker out and bring in Sparrow 

I wouldn't mind seeing Bedford in too

Bedford in for Melksham as well.

Feel for Tomlinson. Quite worried for Viney too. I wonder if his game time might have to be managed for the rest of this season.

open a spreadsheet and start running the numbers SWYL. As long as the margin is a consistent 150% points scored for or against doesn't matter.

It's alright. Let it go. When it comes to Knights of the Order of Australia, SWYL is your man. Percentages. not so much.

First half massive concern...that our players can still come to a game with that level of intensity is baffling. Thought we'd learned and were past it. Our intensity was so bad that not only were we walking around the stoppages but North were almost walking out of them.

Some guys had absolute shockers. Was Brayshaw trying to get tackled by executing as slowly as he possibly could when he had the ball today?

Read first, comprehend second, consider third and respond last. I understand percentage, I think you may be confused, perhaps go to step one and start again.

I said 1 game 100 or 1000 doesn't matter

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
