GWS' recent "form" is a furphy.

Since beating West Coast in Round 10 they've been thrashed by Brisbane, drew with North and had a win over an inept Carlton, and have now lost to Hawthorn.

Right now, COVID aside, I'd argue Fremantle are as well placed as anyone to displace Richmond or Sydney from the top 8.

Looking at the weather radar that should be the end of the rain Perth.

They only had a few mms but it seemed to come at the start of the game.

Could be a better second half from the Eagles

GWS are such a disappointment. How is Cameron not under intense pressure? Is it because GWS only has 3 supporters?

And none of them understand the game.

One of my favourite non MFC players is Weitering. McKay gets all the accolades, but Weitering is just as good, if not better.

I know he signed a contract extension relatively recently, but I'd love him in our back 6 one day.

Looking for that sweet spot where Carlton win just enough games to retain David Teague.

it's important he stays to complete the platform for their next era of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

Another massive percentage booster for the Dogs. While I don’t want interstate clubs in the top 4, I’m sick of the Dogs sniffing our [censored].

It's a pity the West Coast crowd aren't present to witness this. Neck and neck with Essendon as the most entitled supporters in the league.

boy, didn't realise meth coast relied on the crowd that much.....dogs now 54 pts up and with bad goal kicking

Eagles at home in Perth without a crowd is worth 1-2 goals a quarter. With that neutralised, as just now, they’re just not all that. Good luck for the Bulldogs, and have to say I’m jealous at how well their forward line is functioning.

Just checked the doggies fixture. They've got a dream run home. Only game they could potentially drop is us only.

The rest are all bottom 8 bar Port Adelaide last round.

Yep and our ordinary percentage thanks to our inability to put teams away is going to hurt us in the run home. Finish 3rd or 4th and get sent to play Lions at the Gabba would be a complete disaster.

WCE paid the price for bringing in too many off a long spell.  Naitanui went missing in the last quarter again.  That final quarter was a demolition.

Percentage is irrelevant if we finish first or second.

But we could well finish 4th or 5th because of it. We have by far the hardest draw of the rest of the top 5 sides. We play Geelong, Port, Dogs and West Coast (away). The rest have maybe one game left against a top 5 side.

We haven't put teams away at all and I reckon it's going to potentially cost us in the long run.

I'll cop a bit for this but I honestly think the doggies are currently the best team in the comp.

I think Brisbane are better. They are more even across the ground. I think Dogs have a suspect backline. But time will tell.

    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.
