Great to seeFreo win an away game like that for one of their greats and beat the most favoured team in the AFL  with [censored]'S.

Looks like we'll have to win both our remaining games to make Top 4. 

Some might say you make your own luck in this game, but JUH kicking 5.0 against us, Collingwood kicking 15.4 last night , and barely any other results going our way recently have made things tricky.

With all that said, stumbling into September, finishing 5th and then making a GF is still very much possible. That's what the Dogs did last year.

You can see how Geelongs small and half forwards push up all the way to the contest  and then attack in a wave of half back. It’s the same way Pies sling shot. 

This is their blueprint I think you need to stop their out number at the contest to have a crack at winning. It’s a modified version of the Richmond game plan.

The Saints v Cats qtr time score line is pretty much what ours should have been at qtr time. Credit to the Cats they know how to score when they have momentum.

I’m with you BDA. Why voluntarily watch Geelong dole out a hiding. 
But there is ONE good thing about  this weekend of footy… Essendon lost. And that’s never a bad thing. 😁

I’m not so bloody minded

i don’t care who wins as long as we win

Um so if Sydney and Brisbane win by enough we slip to 5th correct?

Sounds like a multi worth having given the way things have gone for us this year ie relying on  others as we continue to merde Le bed

Same. But when we don’t win, watching the likes of Essendon win makes it more painful.

Wow losing to Dogs put our form into perspective. Dogs a putrid today. It amazing how some teams lift against us.

Yes, it happens to all existing premiers, to anyone on top at the time.  plus the hardest draw.

You’ll get a good price for Sydney to win by 34 and Brisbane to win by 86.

That only works out if the opposition do not score. ie for every goal North scores Swan need to score extra 8 points.

Amazing. Frees only 18 - 14 in favour of Footscray.  Bevo will have to complain to HQ.

We have stuffed up OUR OWN chances fot=r a top 2 finish with inept goal kicking more than anything else.  

IF the coaching team don't review this and work hard on it in the offseason then it will continue unabated, and cost us again.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
