Brought in to deal with quarantine issues with McLaughan and his cronies. Even though the bye might appear to disadvantage us, there are a few pros:

- we performed very strongly after our last bye last night, so following a similar program where we have an intense inter-club match effectively again should do the trick;

- the Bulldogs have got some momentum now in the finals... it halts that;

- it gives May a chance to recover and play - he's super important to our structure.

Also they have an additional week I. Quarantine in WA whilst our boys will get to enjoy some genuine r and r. This is a huge mental advantage.

At least we know now what the Bulldogs have got. If any over confidence or complacency has crept in it will be wiped now. No way I expect us to not show up like Port at the start. Port were exposed for what they were. Flat track bullies and bathwater drinkers.

Libba is a slang term for sperm in Maltese. They used to shout it with a lot of other expletives at Sunshine George Cross games I'd go to a long time ago. 

Inside the minds of the Port midfield.

It comes down to the best team on the day. 2 rested teams, its totally unpredictable! You can argue us to win but I can't seperate us and them which sets up an intriguing Grand Final. I wish it was clearer.

This is seriously embarrassing effort from Port. They’ve had a free ride not having to leave home for over a month, while all the other clubs have had to travel and quarantine for finals. Dogs weren’t even allowed to train in Adelaide!
Hinkley should get the sack for this. He’s been there a decade and it’s been a decade of almosts. What an embarrassing performance tonight by the power.

Dogs had their training run tonight...

Spurs down to 10…. Come on Palace

1-1 over in Perth so far. We're yet to hit our best form this season.

The cats you could give a minor pass on their pathetic showing given they are an ageing list and we had the week off, but Port should be absolutely ashamed of that effort tonight. They had every reason to come out the stronger team but they were pathetic. An embarrassment. Once and for all proved that they were pretenders that didn’t deserve to finish as high as they did. 

Bring on the dogs, despite the final ladder position they finished I felt they were the second best team across the year. Now it’s time we proved it.

They way a team performs during the season is the way they perform in the finals, port has the worst record against the top 6 teams.

2 weeks time.
Bulldogs won't know what hit 'em.

Caught the game a bit later.  Port put on the most pitiful effort except for about 10 minutes at the start of the 3rd.  The skill errors were non-stop and they couldn't handle the pressure.  Except for beating the dogs in rd23, they have been poor against good pressure sides all year and it showed tonight.  Dogs are a big danger, would have liked to have played them next week with a rest for them.  Given how poor PS were, its hard to get a clear red on the dogs. 

 

Our team should have done their homework like they have done for the last 2 contenders.

Possibly but Naughton is so much more agile than Petty. The closest we have is Smith imo. 
 

id go:

Smith on Naughton

May on English

Petty on Schache

Hibberd on Weightman

Lever on Hannan 

DOnt ask who I’d drop for Smith though.

 

Who would you drop for Smith?

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
