This Freo Saint's game is some real bad team on bad team action.

I'll have a lot of fun death-riding Fremantle this year.

Today's games have been a festival of dross. Can't imagine what it would be like having to watch this stuff week after week.

You must have a really good memory Chook. I can barely remember anything prior to 2021.

So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

Bombers have Suns Saints and Giants to come. If round 5 Demons - Dons is a top of the table clash and we completely derail their season in the space of a couple of hours, it'll be worth it.

Temple of Doom scene where the guy has his heart pulled out and shown to him before he is lowered screaming into the lava.

Two match balls got nicked by some enterprising young fans at the Hawks Bombers game.  Ch7 chose to show it all to the world so every chance this will now be a thing.

Freo defn not top 4 material or top 8 by todays showing. Looks like we may get that too 10 pick for Jacko after all. 

They screwed us. They deserve that karma. 

Also why is Peter Bell on the bench? Is he also coaching now? 🫠

Definite micro-manager personality so no surprise.

So much jogging in this game from both sides, and especially from Jackson. He just doesn't want it enough IMO. His best patch in the grand final at the end of the 3rd quarter should be the intensity he should be aiming for every game.

The "New Coach Bounce" is a thing, apparently.  All of GWS, North Melbourne, Essendon and (hopefully) St Kilda with a win in round one under a new coach.

Jackson had no idea how incredibly lucky he was to have absolutely no pressure playing under Gawn. 
Good luck playing with zero intensity at Freo after they spent so much on you.

There was a fair bit of that as last year progressed. May rue his decision to leave. Was playing with the best ruckman and two of the best midfielders of the last decade (at least)

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
