It shows how much the crowd would influence the umpires if they were screaming. Its just natural. i really hope we have an empty stadium

 

But somehow they are still getting the better of the decisions from the mags

I think you’ll get your wish. Can’t see a VIC crowd by 21 August.

If the AFL make the dreaded Perth September decision, the Geel V Dees game could even be at Perth’s Optus Stadium.

Friggin Geelong - appealing for deliberate OOB when the ball didn't even go out.  I guess they thought that the crowd (BT says there is a crowd) would influence the maggot.

Right? Clearly didn’t go OOB but they appealed nonetheless. Pathetic knee jerk reactions from a side that knows the match is lost and instead of galvanising they’ll revert to desperate pleading for something that isn’t there. God, how I hate them.

How good has Taylor been on Hawkins? He's a nice kick too. You'd expect Hawkins to have most in the contest but Taylor has beaten him a number of times and taken multiple important intercept marks.

Geelong are the walking wounded tonight, Giants have just lost Daniel but they should have the fresher legs. 

Walking wounded, from a RSL WW1 retirement home.

Daniel subbed out through concussion from Selwood’s bump. He HAS to be suspended. Minimum one week (give him an extra week to be sure 😉).

Geelong % won't matter to us (unless they manage a draw sometime soon).

FFS  yet another 50 m free shot at goal - the maggots should get the coach's award from Scott

Green a genuine high tackle (no even a Selwoodesque one) in goal kicking range ignored.

It effects Port who are 1 win behind them. Could be the difference between us playing Port or Geelong finals week 1.

Though Cats now only 4 goals behind, so % might well be moot

But it probs would be two- or threefold had there been a crowd.

Thought commentators said hammy?

Can someone work out if Geeling lose tonight what does that mean in terms of how many wins we need to secure top 4?

If they lose tonight, and we beat them in 2 weeks time,  we could drop one of the next 2 and still finish above them on the ladder.

Does anybody else hear the pure disappointment from BT and Brayshaw when the Cats don’t score, and the lack of enthusiasm when the Giants score?

I miss Clinton, he got excited for the game, not the club.

Selwood just bought a free far softer than the one ignored (won't say missed as that could imply a degree of impartiality) to Greene.  Almost resulted in a goal.

    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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
