Selwood getting done for holding the ball is maybe my favorite moment in football each week. Except for when Danger flops and doesn’t get a free. 
 

Port look good. Geelong look old. Can’t run with Port. I’m excited for when they all retire and become Hawthorn 2.0. 

Seriously, every time Selwood is anywhere near the ball, he throws his arms out and looks at his mate the umpire.

So bloody infuriating.

FFS Port. Be better. Turning it over and costing themselves goals. 

Can’t wait for May to take on Hawkins again. Let’s hope he refrains from breaking his face this time.

Port’s backline and defensive efforts are a disgrace. Geelong move the ball slow. To give them so many uncontested masks inside their forward 50 is a joke.

Blitzard was holding Dixon, not the opposite

Ruck frees make no sense. Flip a coin and pick a recipient. 

This game has turned into a steaming [censored]. Port soft and loose. Geelong slow and cheats.

At least we have a watchable game.

Both Dixon and Hawkins being blocked and/or held continually. 

Port are VERY good spreading with ball in hand, but equally as poor when the opposition are spreading forward. Holes everywhere. And they get annihilated one-on-one.

Port let that get away in the last bit of Q2.

We're better than Port and better than Geelong. Our defense will strangle both no dramas

It's crazy watching every other game (even top 4 clashes) going, yeah, we've got both these teams covered no worries.

I know! Followed them for decades and I can never remember feeling that way before

Defensive efforts from Port is bottom 8 stuff. They tackle hard but gees their spread is poor. They hate it when they don’t have the ball.

Rowan and Martins laugh in and Doghouse are absolute liabilities just cannot play when heat is on cant have soft players in finals

Port have good skills and could cause us some difficulties.  
 

Also that bloke Ollie Wines looks a very very good player.  I wish … you know the rest.  

So many ":what ifs" in this context - would we have got Oliver, Petracca, and last years great trio Kozzie, Jackson, Rivers, if we had called Wines' name?

Port are talented, but clearly like it on their terms.

Geelong are capable but are off the pace with their ageing list.

We could drop games to these two in the home & away season. No chance of doing so come finals though. We've got this!

Port pretty slack in defence - really from mid to HB.

Georgiades - I know it isn't the same guy, but is he related to the guy who sandwiched Jenkins with Viney??

Rozee very selfish again in the third quarter. Took two very poor marginal shots for goal and missed when he had options to go to.

    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
