Happy to see a number of clubs go backwards this year . Tigers - we beat them in the practise game and against Swans showed they have been to the well too many times . Might just make the 8 as the middle of the ladder looks very even and weak . Brisbane , West Coast and not sure about Cats and PA yet .

Cameron has me worried .

The big improvers with a chance are the Dees and Dogs . Swans too young .

Come on giants. Don't stop. 

This could turn out to be another dream weekend: we win and Essendon and Collingwood lose.

Went to the G to watch the Hawks game . Been too long away and a lot seemed to have changed .

The ad boards move sideways during the game which was a terrible distraction . We won't get rid of them but stop moving them while play is happening .

Then the GOAL , GOAL , GOAL after each 6 pointer  screaming from the speakers smashing atmosphere ( for me anyway as I like crowd noise ) . This really [censored] me off .

Entertainment before and after the game with the game left alone in the middle . I am a traditionalist . Leave the Test alone !

Threads like this are popping up on Demonland, on other supporter forums, and even on Bigfooty.

Alas, [censored] marketing managers who have only ever dealt with 'products' and transcations instead of community institutions and relationships are very sure they know better and none of the deeper stuff fits on a spreadsheet anyway.

I'm happy we're moving up the ladder and not just for the obvious reason...

If you watch the North Collingwood game...is that 17th v 18th?

They must get the worst of the umpires.

The standard of umpiring is appalling.

To think that's what we had to put up with week in, week out.

It's still bad, but touch wood, not that bad.

Well said, I’m so with you on that.

The advertising boards at the footy are atrocious.

Who the F allows them to be that prominent and that bad. MCC selling our soul i guess? These boards are such a huge distraction during games especially twilight. They seemed to just come along and nobody even said boo about it. Good to see it at least being mentioned here. Im not sure if where you sit makes any difference?

The above poster @Craig Hutchinsonis correct in saying at least stop them moving during play.

Petition anyone?

All three games today have been horrible with horrible umpiring. Skill levels way down. Suns threw it away, Giants should have sewn it up, lucky to hang on. Pies, ha ha! It will go down as the master coach Buckley outwitted the wiley, devilishly tricky Kangaroos. In fact the Kangas just can't kick or mark. Or handball. But it keeps Buckley in the job another week ... keep it up Pies!

Agree 100% rjay - some of the worst umpiring I’ve seen

Noticed in the Gold Coast game that most if not all of the stadium was open and the crowd was naturally dispersed around the whole of the ground. 

Something the MCC could learn from

Where is the Norf that played a great (first) half against the Dees last week?

They stayed in Hobart.

Money, money money. Sounds like a good line for a song!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
