Is anyone else quietly hoping that North upset Sydney today?

North plays Adelaide next week and with a Kangaroo win today and a really good percentage-smashing of Adelaide tomorrow it would actually make next weeks' game a wooden spoon battle.

With Jason Horne on the line, I could see the Crows losing that one while North's recovery through the second half of the season deserves better than the spoon.

Full credit to North - after the bye they've gone 3W 1D 5L and not a single blowout loss in it. That's really impressive in a season that started as badly as Melbourne 2013 (No, wait, nope, nope, just because everyone thought they might go winless for the year doesn't make it that bad...)

I just don’t want some little [censored] kicking a goal after the siren in our game…

Seeing pretty much all of us (who aren't already in retirement homes) haven't even seen a premiership, it makes

us a bit of joke to be mocking other teams who actually have the Cups in the bank. When we finally do win one

then we have some ground to stand on.

You're probably right. However, the difference is that the 'not 15' is necessary to follow long established rules of the game.    

I get that it’s definitely necessary. What I meant is that it can be the worst call when the player in question, ie., the bloke who just marked in front of the oppo’s goals, doesn’t hear it. Provided everyone else heard it, he is sure to be tackled and, even worse, caught HTB.

Hopefully the Hawks and Saints get over the line today. We can then sew up top spot with a win over the Crows tomorrow and then rest some players against the Cats. 

Port says hi.

Five minutes in and 2 holding the ball decisions against Bontempelli. The umpires have been possessed by aliens!

In a standard game I have seen about 10 ‘missed’ frees that would go for the Dogs. I wonder if the fear of Clarkson public lashing has scared them straight - albeit temporarily.

I saw the 64 game and I'm still in my home thanks!!!!

I reckon “not 15” is worse. Especially if you’re a defender who’s just marked in the opposition goal-square. 😬

'Not 15' . . . as it leaves the boot. My brain often thinks the same, but I'm not an AFL umpire. Wait until it doesn't go 15 meters before declaring it hasn't travelled 15 meters maybe?

Jeez, the Dogs look bloody ordinary today.

The Hawks in their 'Clarko's Farewell Tour' are in a good spot to claim another victim

Where are all those muppets that said we should have kept Frost? Still an absolute liability. Bulldogs haven't looked like kicking a goal, except for the two times Frost has turned it over.

I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled.

Dogs look horrendous. Mistake ridden. No system. Absolutely all in front of the Hawks now. Brilliant for us if Dogs lose this.

    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.
