Well if we beat Lions, odds are we play them in Sydney. Are you happy with that?

At least it’s a double chance and to date we haven’t lost interstate this season. 

Depends on margins it could also be at the G.

Lions favourites (slight) next week. Would that be the first time the market has us opening up as ‘underdogs’ this season?

We have a 39.29% win ratio at the SCG with 11 wins and 17 losses. It hurts we have to rely on other results. But would be depressing to finish 6th and play Richmond after being 10-0. Double chance means we could win the flag despite our form this year. Lose against the Lions and our season is almost certainly done.

And Bombers lose by 84 points, nice way to finish a good weekend.

Essendon's performance in 2022 has been nothing short of pathetic. They have really fallen off a proverbial cliff.

Also pro tip: Never take shelter from a thunderstorm under a proverbial cliff.

Well all in all a pretty good weekend we beat Carlton in the last minute, Collingwood lose and Essendon got flogged. Bring on the Lions.

Where was that kind of kicking from Collingwood last week. Sydney did what we should have done had the kicking for goal not been so nuts.

Podcast on AFL website this morning from Damien Barrett.

"Ed was right",   with Barrett noting Ed Langdon was right about the Pies being 'one trick" - which he was and many in the media agreed supporting him at the time.

Hopefully it brings a smile to Ed's face this morning after a rock climbing effort probably.

And a lot of those loses were in the period when we couldn't beat ourselves in an ultra club game.

On the topic of Ed, any reason why Carlton supporters were booing him on the weekend?

Were they sticking up for Collingwood or something?

Maybe Ed said they were all Souv and no laki - who knows, they generally are a pretty dim lot

Either way you can cut through that irony with a Tim Shaw steak knife.

Heads are going to roll at Essendon after that insipid performance. The straw that broke the camels back for sure.

Does North try and win this weekend  avoiding B2B wooden spoons or do they flop around lose and take 1st draft pick.The player will probably refuse to sign up...lol

Yes .Heard this at the ground. It was very half hearted and amusing compared to the loud booing to cripps right through the game. But now I'm glad he beat the wrap so he can deal with the pies on sunday

I couldnt understand why most posters wanted pies to lose. Now we're in real pickle. Pies winning was much better as they have a putrid %. Swans% better than ours. And they play garbage next week.

As the blues have a much chance of beating the Pies. If we both lose we stay above pies. Swans will win for sure. Saints nothing to play for

It is a great pity that King didn't get the Saints up over the Pooh Bears.  He flung his body and legs around as if he needed to kick the ball over the grandstand.    On the same topic, Gawn for his first point could have kept his hand on the ball for longer while dropping the ball and wouldn't have needed to chase it with his foot.  It makes you love TMac even more.  The big guy kicked like a back man but now his run, drop and leg are on the same line with mathematical precision.

    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.

    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.
