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.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
