Ok I know not everyones into betting odds but what is the shortest a team has started in a game, we are now $1.04 

I’m not sure how this works but someone must have put money on the Eagles. We’re now at $1.30.ECB53519-AEE9-4975-B632-6D167BA85CA5.thumb.jpeg.7592510b53bb1fc5313125c24df2662e.jpeg

There is ZERO chance Spargo and Nibbler won't be in the starting 22 (unless injured of course). I'm not having a shot at you, but i honestly don't get how any dees fan who is passionate enough ab

I think that’s an error WJ, can’t find anything more than $1.06 for us.

It’s the AFL App with Sportsbet odds. Surely they can’t get such important things wrong?

If that’s from today I’d say the $1.30 would’ve been snapped up in a heartbeat.

I'd keep JJ in, what he doesn't have in burst leg speed is made up with Kossie in the midfield. 

Sparrow as sub (unlucky) and if well on top look to bring him in end of the 3rd qrt for Clarry or Trac. Or look to bring Sparrow in a way to reduce mins for Trac and Clarrie.

It wouldn’t be a real time connection which means it would be manually updated by someone. 

People be on holidays.

Can’t se Hibberd getting up with a sore Achilles. I reckon Tomlinson is a chance to replace him as tall defenders will be needed to cover Oscar Allen and Darling. 

I assume he must have been able to complete full training Thursday, and Tuesday training was just a recovery stretch and walk. I also guess, any imaging of the injury must have not shown any hot spots.

If that training pattern is repeated, how will Hibbo keep fitness without a full workload?

Achilles problems are a fluctuating injury and he has been managing it for a few years now.

Could also be the selectors are playing games, but why, when West are forced to choose from the underdeveloped players.

Remember how they said they were doing Thursday teams? Has that been thrown in the trash again?

As they've done for decades, all teams are announced on Thursday but for Sunday games extended squads are named. The final 22 is trimmed on Friday, and the sub named on game-day as usual.

Tomlinson or Turner me thinks.

Turner isn't named in the squad. If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.

Yeah maybe. It has chopped and changed a lot though.

Other than COVID, I think the only change has been the drop time, which used to be 5pm but was moved to 6.20pm to allow Channel 7 to announce the teams "first" during their news bulletin.

During COVID teams were announced the day prior, which was in part at least because we were playing games mid-week to make sure we had a complete season.

That's right. 

The Thurs games have confused things a bit for me in recent years. Seemed like yesterday's extended team was announced at 3:30-4 around the time of the presser. It's hard to tell if posts in the pre game on Thurs are actual teams or people still making predictions.

It really hasn't?

During covid it was always announced the day before. Things went back to normal last year.

It could be that the one time it changed was enough to throw me off into an alternate universe that is actually the same.

Have the times of release on the day changed Daz? With the advent of Thurs night footy at least?

I know we have a different team now however I don't ever remember the MFC winning by a " very large margin" hardtack.

74 points in a grand final will do me fine for a very large margin :D

I don’t get it… 

For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
