Pathetic

They used to give away free giants tix at my sons little league and I live in nth Wollongong. Still at least the 50 fans they have is 50 more than gcs.

God how awful. Life is so cruel.

Can someone do me a favor and explain why the fixture has saints and Pies in Adelaide?  We are lampooned for not having enough supporters to ascertain prime venues and times but they schedule this event.

I really thought that Gold Coast were nothing short of pathetic last night. Not sure how much more we have to put up with these uncompetitive performances but if they say they want to play finals then these are the games you have to win. You can't just gee yourself up for a big one last week and then relax. It's been going on long enough and it's almost curtains in 2023 already for them.

Their standard made-to-measure season is unfolding in accordance with the GCS blueprint. Some slashing wins interspersed with terrible and/or pathetic losses. Unable to put together streaks of wins and end up capitulating in the back half of the season and giving up entirely.

Only difference is this year it looks like they will capitulate sooner.

Port were also robbed of a goal here 

So the Swannettes have not a leg to stand on 

I dunno how the umps can determine anything definitively from the My First Digital Camera™ they have strapped to the goal posts. But that's what saved Port's bacon, as it turns out they could not determine anything definitely, so it went back to umpire's call, which was "touched".

It's funny because the Swans lost, and it's funnier because Hinkley's tenure gets extended by a few more weeks. If they pull out another of these wins at just the right moment, "Kochie" will extend his contract.

The funniest thing about Buddy going right into Bergman's back and falling over is that he cleared room for Alir Alir to come through for the punch. 

For some reason the fans arm pumping up and down that blocks the camera view cos he thinks they are going to win also cracks me up 🤣

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. With every viewing you notice something new to relish. 🥳

Basically the AFL hate us. That explains nearly everything that goes on in the world of AFL.

Sam Weideman got subbed off after a nasty hard hit to the head early in the second quarter today against GWS.
 

Hope he's OK. Will miss our match up next week in Adelaide as well.

If anything, Port were robbed of a goal that was bizarrely called touched ... Had that been called correctly, the outcome of the final kick would not have mattered.

 

Edit: Should have read the entire thread first, of course .. sorry SWYL et al.

So what happens if the umpire wants to pay the free? Does the kick not count? Or in an after-the-siren shot is it a free-for-all on the goal line?

Let's say Aliir had not punched, the ball went through and the umps decided to award a free for in the back. No score, free kick awarded, game over. The player can take the kick if they want.

I wonder how many umps would have had the nerve to pay the free.

Of course he's right - that is if the ball was kicked from the crowd it's over the line. "Blind Freddie" can see it never made the line. Yet again Channel 7 create muddy waters with bad shots of the goal square. And can someone keep that person seated in front of the camera. They did the same when Buddie kicked his goal last year.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
