Not including hyphenated surnames, the only past or current player with more syllables in his surname that I can think of is Robert DiPierDomenico.

That-dirty-rotten-little-stager-Weightman has ELEVEN.

Bulldogs have no ticker, so if the Roos can keep the heat on and prevent the Dogs from having it all on their terms, they could well have a shot - probably too far back though after that joke of a 1st quarter.

Kangas with 4 in a row. Doggies players looking confused and frustrated with the free kick count going against them. Unusual territory for them.

Edit - 5 in a row

It's like the umpires feel they have to pay a free in every marking contest.

Go Kangas!

Doggies have no soul, front runners all day 

Kangas showing real grit

North showing up one of the Dogs weaknesses - defensive running. As soon as the Roos get gut run running forward from contested ball, 2-3- Dogs players plod on behind with little real effort. The dogs talent is way over and above the Roos, but the effort of the young Roos boys is great to watch. It is going to take some time but I love what Noble is doing - taking the hard hits and losses but basing a team on defensive contested play.

I reckon no matter how far the dogs get in front, no team will think they're out of it as long as they can arrest momentum and make the dogs run the other way.

Horne - Francis looks very good. I know people will slag them off, but North is tracking in the right direction imo

Id rather watch Hawkins remove his mouthguard after being awarded a free kick in front of goal.

They've conjured up a game that's less interesting than the Good Friday appeal.

But …. it is “traditional” …. after what, 4 years 🤦‍♂️

It's a strange recipe of pity mixed with ambivalence, with a sprinkle of "why don't they just give up and fold"?

Maybe they will head off to Tassie and save us all the absurdity and inequity  of a bye every week.

Unwatchable.

I think I might watch an old Carry On movie ... Either that or watch paint dry.

It's on such days that it is best to relive the glory of the GF replay ... from the 13 minute mark of the third quarter of course preferably with Dennis Commetti's commentary

    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.

    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
