That Rioli incident was similar to the Viney incident of a few years ago when he smashed into I believe Shannon Hurn of WC. Difference was he got to the ball ball first and had his eyes on it. Rioli was far too late. It was reckless.

had to be at least a free kick

Carlton, Geel, Sydney and Brisbane the impressive sides of round 1.

And it will be a question of whether they can back it up and keep it up but Collingwood looked a far better side too.

Fast aggressive footy with good scoring.

Brisbane impressive? If one quarter is enough then you can add Gold Coast to your list of impressive sides.

Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton and Geelong the four most impressive. The first two beat known quantities (Dogs and GWS). Reserve judgment on the latter two until we see how they go in Round 2 (Richmond wasn't very good and Essendon was appalling).

Brisbane really disappointed me. Port wins that game if not for injuries. Poor skills. Slow. Very uninspiring. 
Sydney were the standout for me. Quality list. Good balance all over the ground. Excellent coaching. Will trouble most teams. 
Can’t write GWS off. They’ll improve when Greene returns and Hogan is fit. They lacked fire power on the weekend. 
Carlton were impressive but again we need to see if they can sustain that effort. They have a good list. Defense is very suspect but excellent midfield that will only improve when Walsh returns. 
And we can’t judge the Dogs. They played a hard opposition 😂

Yesterday I watched North and the Hawks game. The difference was The Hawks had a key forward who could take a mark North did not. Add North shot themselves in the foot with 3-  50 metre penalities for chatting back to the ump. 1 cost them a goal. Hawks are ordinary. With Brown in their team yesterday North wins that game

Just watched the Kayo Mini WCE v GC$.  Just emphasised the totally feral nature of the WCE "crowd" (a mere handful for season's opener at their home ground)  - booing absolutely every goal by GC$ however achieved.

The capacity was limited to 50% to be fair

This exactly. Let all the hype be on Geelong. We have been forgotten in the Bevo/Morris controversy. Fine with me.

I love how little we have been mentioned in Mondays round reviews so far. Beating the second best team with 5 of 6 of our backline missing but it’s all about Carlton today. Magnificent

Good call on this. Dees and Swans for mine.

I reckon you can reduce even further.  Swans were impressive in coming back agaisnt a class opposition. Dees in control against the seond best team, not some middle of the road outfit. As The Age reported today, Dees, then daylight, then the rest (so far anyway)

Cats beat nothing, Blues bullied an undermanned, brave but past- it- now Tigers. Cats to be judged properly this week against Dogs.

Lions, struggled to overcome brave and injured Power. Big Deal.

What was so impressive about Brisbane?

they looked disinterested and arrogant for the first 3 quarters. 
That was the worst 1st Quarter i have seen in a long time. 
Port lost that game because of their injury toll

Brisvegas were lucky

The injuries helped but I thought it was a reasonably high pressure game in tricky conditions and Brisbane rallied and turned it around. It was far from perfect footy but a comeback win against a prelim team is a solid effort. Daniher and Adams impressed at either end. In fairness to Port they probably deserve as much credit even with losing.

Those conditions should have suited Brisbane. It was their home game and they played poorly. 
I doubt Fagan is thrilled with what they showed.

If our guys continue to chalk up premiership points whilst flying close to under the radar that’s fine. All those below daylight can scrap like a superfluity of steroided seagulls seeking substance from Gill’s leftover cold chips. All amply illuminated by the media circus spotlight of course.

Hear hear. Let's have Carlton win again this week, let's even have Essendon have a win. Richmond, Collingwood ... all of them. So all their media fans can start cancelling their September holidays and forget we even exist.

Thanks. Confused myself with blues being significantly tested by dogs.

Blues and cats games will both be fascinating reality checks hopefully.

I still think Port Adelaide, when fully fit, can be the second best team in the league. I think their youngsters are great and Boak will always be a gun! If they end up on the right side of the finals draw this year, I could see them making the grand final against us!

🍐 look very small down back without:

  • mckenzie - looked to be gone for some time, amazingly apparently available this week
  • aliir - syndesmosis, 5-12 weeks (depending on who you believe)
  • clurey - already on the injury list, 3-4 weeks

They’ve had a good list for a while. They just seem to fall apart under pressure. If they can fix that they’ll go a long way to winning a flag. 
But you don’t win flags if your team isn’t capable of playing high pressure footy.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

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
