Some holes appearing in the Swans game. Really struggling to score, and too easy for opposition to rebound out of their forward 50. They need a couple of small defensive forwards to help keep the ball down their end.

I think Casboult has been outstanding for the Suns. His kicking might still not be great, but he keeps on presenting and is such a good mark.

Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

That's fixable though, Brisbane were in the same boat not so long ago, winning games really helps with retention. 

I would imagine the AFL will move heaven and earth to get Clarko to the Suns, if he can convince a couple of quality veterans to go there and retain their out of contract kids, i'd nearly back them to push for finals in 2023

Nice touch for the players to acknowledge the eight supporters that travelled down from Surfers.

That is a very good win by the suns. 

Now we just have to win tomorrow and we will be 3 games clear ahead of sydney. 

Collingwood fall out of the 8 

Now just need the hawks to put more misery on the bummers and it will be a good day.

Swans  having a forward line revolving around Franklin is starting to look like a mill stone around their neck.

Isaac Rankine taunting an opponent as he got a free kick at defensive 50, what a stupid [censored]. Try running both ways for a change you over hyped nobody!

You cant count a Bloke walking his dog past the ground that stops to sniff a post as part of the crowd Rab!

Pruess only played 22 games. Good to see him play solid footy. Looks like a 100 gamer already

One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts? 

All our taller forwards can mark and kick but their leading patterns are all [censored] about at the moment. 
Keeping something up our sleeves for finals?🙄

Dew was a long time assistant at Sydney.  Probably proves that Longmire hasn't changed much over the years since Dew left.

Giants just not working hard enough. Whitfield with 7 touches? Create run and overlap and they should win easily.

I excluded him from my head count Picket. Incidentally his dog has a coterie membership at Hawthorn.

Yeh i agree they looked better earlier in the season taking multiple avenues to goal.   Become a bit predictable when Buddy's in.

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

Why don't the commentators call it?

MRP peer pressure

Wow.... Ward literally looked like he got shot there and the ump still fell for it haha

Aside from the form of Cameron i don't really see much change in either team vs last season's general output 🤷‍♂️

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
