Should be a good game tonight. I reckon the return of Toby will ignite the Giants and bring St Kilda back down to earth. The sainters have been getting a bit ahead of themselves

Fremantle v Carlton seems the most interesting match of the round, Freo should be too good over there.

Tipping that umpire disrespect will kick the most goals this week.

@Sir Why You Little, do you recall an Ess/filth  Anzac Day clash some years ago  when 2 players went down, I think in the first quarter, with serious knee injuries? 

Yes i do. One was an Essendrug Ruckman…

Like the Giants tonight. They were pretty competitive for fair chunks of last week.

Saints are being written up as a possible flag winner. GWS massively underperforming.

Pity that Hogan is out. Adds a little more interest to the game. Of course there is Preuss who I don't think I've seen since he played for Casey.

If GWS kick straight (ratio of around 80%) they might surprise.

Hopefully we're not switiching to netflix by half time

Think Saints should get up, they are up and about GWS aren’t.

Dogs, Port, Freo, Lions, us (despite mfcss), Swans & Filth in the battle of the WGAF.

The young ruckman, Flynn, that played for GWS last week was very good. Played better than Preuss ever has. If it was my choice i'd play Flynn again

I remember watching Flynn in his first game. ( Has he been out injured? )

He will be a gun player.

The Giants all walk taller with Toby in the team (no pun intended)  He doesn't drop his head or give up and that sends a message to his team mates.  Plays for keeps.  

He's a bit of a product from a bygone era but there is no denying he captures an audience  But can he not cross the line? Does he need that edge to his game in order to be at his best?  In my view, probably

The game should be a good start to the long weekend of footy ... the 4 FTA games should all get a big TV audience

Our game is quickly becoming a standout blockbuster (as long as the crowds are maintained), the ANZAC day game always has a great atmosphere and the Freo/Blues game on Saturday evening might answer a few questions

A few 'season defining' games coming up this round. 

Geelong and Brisbane with the easy wins coming up is annoying

Our 8 point games against them will sort them out.

He will probably give away a few 50 m ps with aggro at umps.

This round always makes me sad about lost loves and proud to be an Australian.

I'm sure we all share sympathy for Ukraine. How much they would like to stop the death and destruction and enjoy a simple game of sports.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. 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
