I'm watching the game and it's the Dees game all over again, but in reverse. Whatever we had last week, obviously it was contagious.

- Saints can't take a trick out of the middle and are being smashed in the clearances.

- Any time they try to run it out of defence, they hit a wall thanks to Brisbane's pressure

The only difference is that where we had Robbo and Neitz managing goals despite utterly pathetic supply, Gehrig and co can't get near it. Just goes to show how fickle form is in AFL footy.

i was thinking the EXACT same thing.

Hudgton is injured, meaning they have a short bench. They are making huge errors and plyaing poor footy.

The lions cant do a thing wrong.

Couldnt agree more with you!

Another contrast to last week was the free kick count. At one stage it was 12-5 in Brisbane's favour.

It's the Old Doppelganger Game Plan Trick. Seems to be quite virulent. We'll need to watch how it effects the Lions next week.

While the Saints only had the one injured player the Runner did strain a calf and could play no further part in proceedings.

The game last night was the first bit of footy I've watched since last Friday's disgrace.

It was great to see the Saints lose, but god it makes you wonder why Brisbane can get it right, and we can't.

Btw, Brisbane's kids are looking great. They won't be on the bottom again for a while.

maybe....

Would Mathews put up with the waxxing and waning of certain Dee's game ?

Would Mathews allow a personal journey to a record, despite any real week in week out display of obvious talent ?

and the best til last..

would Mathews persist in a game with a tactic that was so obviously crucifying his team??

Matthews is a very intelligent coach. He manages to not only extract the best from what he has, but does enough homework on the other team. He's frustrate two teams in a row & prevented them from playing their game style. To a point where they lose confidence & begin to turnover the ball big time.

The experts are saying that the Hawks & Saints didnt go out there to play crap, they were forced to by the lions choking game style.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
