Some ripper games this weekend

The dogs to get the better of the the Cats

We'll beat the Swans in a tight tussle

Freo have their tails up after accounting for us last week and will beat the Lions. Suits us better if they do as well

Geelong are going under the radar a little bit.

They have made a few changes to youth and player roles: 

  • de Koning is doing a great job at FB which has freed up Tom Stewart who is doing a sterling job as a mid-fielder, rebounder or behind the ball.  Still able to play The General.
  • Stengle is a really damaging small forward.  Great kick i50 and kicks plenty of goals.
  • Holmes is injured but coming on in his second year.
  • They are getting better at switching between their 'control' and their 'territory' game plans.

Scott is doing a lot of experimenting with player positions and ball movement to ready for September.

They will undoubtedly make the top 8 and most probably the top 4 so no harm done if they win this or not.  I'd rather not see the Bulldogs in the top 8.

Feel ill to tip Geelong to win...

It looks like Freo will have a weakened team vs Lions this week with injuries to some key players.

  • Taberner who kicked two goals before being subbed out for half the game
  • Walters who was damaging buzzing around the fwd line
  • Chapman a key tall defender who took 14 marks and gained 436 mtrs.

That game may not give us any clearer picture of the top teams than last week did.

Tonights game will tell us a lot about where the Dogs are in 2022, if they beat the Cats i think it's fair to consider them a finals threat, if they don't maybe not

If Dogs lose tonight, they'll be 6-6 and probably have to go 9-1 in the last 10 games  to finish top 4, and thus have any genuine hope of winning the flag this year. No team has ever snuck into the top 4 with 14 wins.

Even if they win, they'll still have to go 8-2 to make top 4 with Melbourne, Brisbane (away), St Kilda, Fremantle, Sydney (away) and Geelong (away).

I'm ruling out the Dogs to win the 2022 premiership.

Honestly no idea who wins tonight. Danger still out but the dogs are so inconsistent.

Under the roof, I think Cameron and Hawkins will be the difference and the Cats will win

Dogs just don't look mentally switched on this year

Already better than she who should not be named

Jeelong may have one of the worst midfields in the comp but I'll still lean towards tipping them tonight

Think one of the two sides will win by 10 goals just not sure which one

Think Geelong have won 14 of the last 17 against the Dogs, thats a fair record.

I hope the Dogs win on the pure basis even though we smashed them last year in the finals Geelong are still a bunch of flogs.

The dogs, a team who are famous for being quick and moving the ball quickly, are looking slow and unclean while the cats, a team many were concerned about being too slow, look quick and slick.

The Dogs have to be the most mentally weak team around. So much talent but zero application

Doggies looking a rabble so far. Little system, poor skills, low energy. It is early in the match so anything can happen, but what happened to their highly celebrated midfield?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
