In fairness, it was a good win.

That it was.  A good game, well umpired.  Missed a free kick at the end

You know that endless commentary that begins "we now know how to beat (insert team name here).

Against the Dees, it is short kicking through our zone, but make sure you hit yoour targets.

Cue the mind-numbing ad nauseum repetition of to beat Carlton, beat them at clearance."

Both teams played well, Collingwood's pressure won it for them. Blues almost stole it when they won the clearances again in the last 10 minutes or so.

Carlton have a similar injury list to ours. And Weitering goes down was analagous to May going down.

They put up way more than a fight than us, considering both teams lost their key defenders.

If you insist on using those sort of words Winners, you'll be banned from 'Land.

I wonder what may have contributed to us not putting up a fight so to speak, when we've fought pretty consistently for 18 months...

I watched Gawn on his haunches in the first 5 minutes of the match.... I know in elite sport you can't use excuses publicly, and there are reasons why things occur.

If a 'bug' was the case (Flu? It's [censored] everywhere in Vicco) and Goodwin mentioned it in the presser, he'd just be sounding a bit like the Geelong bloke...

"Freo were outstanding, and we lost May, and Petty was crocked, and our backline was depleted, and we couldn't run because we had 1/3 of the playing side take the ground with the flu"... that'd be interesting to the narrative.

Over 80,000 at the G. You have to hand it to the 2 clubs. They know how to bring a crowd

Especially when one of them is 10th on the ladder.

Exactly, despite being the reigning premiers if Goodwin said this he’d be ripped to shreds by the media however when Chris Scott says it no one bats an eyelid.

Yep.

You don't get excuses from either unlike some club supporters..

Would that be it? I think he was frustrated at 1/4 time.

    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.
