Hawthorn look like a shadow of the side that discovered the blueprint to beating the reigning premiers.

First Carlton won this year's flag. Then Hawthorn won it by showing the football world how to beat us. Maybe Essendon now have one too? By the time we get to win one (in September), it will be ch

Hope Port win this, have a healthy degree of disgust at the Dogs and constant playing for free kicks, the hate-meter is rising towards these cheats

GWS are poorly coached. Must be a Sydney thing. Players happy to get a kick, just hack it on the boot. Pretty pathetic to continue seeing this. GWS are terrible. Sydney not much better. Geelong just barely going here and winning as they like. One of the easier wins you’ll see.

Danger starting to look his age.
32 and 290 games taking its toll. Still a gun but lost some explosiveness

Guess he’ll just have to depend on his kicking skills. Oh wait.

Bombers have lost their backline due to an Illness. Any interest in the game tonight has gone

Skills in the GWS and Geelong game have been poor. Not attractive footy. Watched the last quarter of syd and GC. Well the suns have done us a favour. Hope Hawthorn win by a point and lets see where the bears % climbs to.

GWS are useless. What a friendly game of football.

The results over the last few weeks show us that this competition can in no way sustain 20 teams, not now nor in next 15 - 20 years. I’m all for a team in Tasmania but a current club must be relocated, any potential incoming CEO MUST share this opinion for the good of the game.

I cannot recall a team losing 5 players to illness, but stand to be corrected. What is going on here?

🤣But Essendon will now have there excuse for when they lose. If Hawthorn can't beat them tonight then they're not that good.

I thought GWS had turned the corner. lifeless performance from them. The board should consider letting Cameron go early and see if a different voice can inspire the players to salvage their season

Gutless, or heartless / rudderless?

Imagine being a GWS supporter? I Mean obviously you have to because they don’t have any physical supporters, but you get my point.

A GWS supporter, or the GWS supporter ?

That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

Why don't the commentators call it?

AFL accreditation would be revoked - IMMEDIATELY to said commentators.

Hmmm, very few games look enticing....perhaps it's a generational thing?

Looking forward to watching Big Ange snare another 3 points and take home the SPL later on this evening.

I'm vaguely Celtic, I guess the link with Henrik.L when I first went O/S 20 years ago... more about parochial australiana. 👌

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    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
