Now proud to call him a son of a Melbourne Brownlow Medalist 

He’s now on my ‘I wanna hate him but I can’t’ list, dagnabbit.

End of Round 6.

Dees have most points for, and 6th fewest against.   Pies and Bombers dropped significant % today. 

Doesn't mean much at present but leaves a nice feeling till at least Saturday evening.

My iphone overheated  when Daicos put Pies in front. I had to turn the radio volume right down but it made no difference. Noise when Pies kick a goal is deafening. Imagine being out there on the bloody ground!

Definitely helps Collingwood win games.

They never give up.

QB we need a hard tag on ND. i don’t care what people say you can’t have a bloke sit off the play and collect forty 95% uncontested possessions. 

i do not subscribe to the idea that you cannot curtail that for an uncontested player. 

bring in Harmes. he will smash it

Wonder if Nick ever wakes in the middle of the night to see Josh standing over his bed staring at him.

Makes last week look not too bad…. Bombers have worked out the pies - pressure pressure pressure, no corridor opportunities.  Have to be able to go HARD FOR 4 QTRS to beat either of these teams.

That aged well.  Pies lifted, Bombers crumbled.

Bummers play Geelong next week. Looks like they are due for a bit of a slide down the ladder

Collingwood outright premiership favourites for me.

Nick Daicos unfolding in front of our eyes is just pure greatness. 

Premierships aren’t won in April mate. I still think our games matches well with theirs.

What is even more worrisome is that they have gears. They can turn it on when they need to win games or just stay in cruise control to preserve their bodies.

 

Yep.

They're next level. Hurts me saying this but I honestly enjoy watching them play. So exciting with their brand of footy and admire McRea for turning this club around on field.

Yup. 

Port tried to tag him, (the port bloke didn’t do a great job) and what it showed is Daicos is QUICK from a standing start. Goes from 0-100 in a couple steps. 

Whoever tags him needs to wear him like a glove and be physical. 

Even then, he only needs 10 minutes and  he can take the game away from you. Unreal player.

if he is that quick you can get a smart tagger to, at times sit off, goal side a couple of metres. tagging is a skill that is under-utilised in footy. most times ND gets it he is on his own. it’s staggering

No it doesn't 🤣 especially on form alone.

They've had the absolute wood over us over the last 5 years. One of our now bigger bogey teams.

We have only Salem who's best 22 to come back into our team whilst they have Adams, Murphy, Lipinski, Howe, Cameron and McStay.

Their upside is enormous compared to ours.

Either of those boys would run rings around him, so NO, the Lions and Bombers to a large extent except in the last quarter, showed how to play them and it's simple if you are disciplined, it's not the first possession that matters it's the follow up possessions that hurt you, forgetting who's who the one that kicks out then runs on for the take disposal and the next one what you have to do is position yourself so he cannot do that the other one hangs back from the contest or he starts to run in thus his opponent goes with him and then he backs out and becomes a free man, all it needs is that one player at a contest stays with him it does not have to be one person and thats called discipline.

lol "it's simple" no one can even understand your run-on sentence let alone enact it on a footy field.

I know this is not ground breaking stuff, but the pies supporters are next level. Every time the camera cut to the crowd, middle fingers a plenty.. 

Commodore circle work tonight & Woodstock bourbon cans for that lot.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
