I dont know why the sound of the umpires cannot be muted

Hawkins gave away 50 just hanging around in the protected zone. No worries mate.

Can Selwood dispose of the ball legally any more? Last 5 minutes all I've seen are throws, scoops and tunnels.

This is the thing Mazer.

During any game, umpires must see indiscretions that could be given as frees.

How do they decide when/ which to pay?

Hawks gameplan looks good. Playing quickly and moving it with pace through the midfield. Taking the game on. Similar to how Adelaide and Magpies played against us last year.

But… but… it’s Essendon. ESSENDON. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yep, and I always thought Essendon would be my true hate. But Geelong has it all:

  • Home town umpiring (thought it may end with televised games, but no)
  • Joel Selwood
  • Forwards who dive
  • Joel Selwood
  • Money thrown at the club because it's in a marginal seat
  • Joel Selwood
  • Shonky land deals
  • Families of footballers employed by Cotton On (see Judd and Visy)
  • Joel Selwood
  • Mogg's Creek
  • Chris Scott's cool beard 
  • The 5 or so chairs provided to opposition supporters

But it's a TELEVISION INNOVATION

All TELEVISION INNOVATIONS are Good Things and can't be changed back.

Another great TELEVISION INNOVATION is the count down clock which adds nothing and only kills tension in a tight match,

Its a shame this game is becoming primarily about the umpiring, otherwise the game has been good to watch.

After Hawkins gave away the 50m penalty for infringing the protected area, he demonstrated with his hands out. It should have been another 50.

Absolutely.... makes it a certain goal and possible outcome changer

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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’

    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
