Spare a thought for Ryan Maric, who was picked up by West Coast in the Mid-Season Draft.

No fan of Adelaide but I hope that every arrogant Eagles supporter that I ever encountered in my trips out west are miserable watching their team these days.

Umpires ruined this game. Totally favouring essendon.

Personally I could give a stuff who won out of these two but my god the umpiring was lopsided and terrible …as it consistently is these days. Bombers def got the fairy take ride with the umps. I just don’t like seeing the umpires have that big of an impact.

Make that 50. 50 frees in a single game. 
That’s 30 too many. 
 

Imagine the Game Day thread if Demonland was around in 1993. In round 10 of that season Carlton 44 free kicks Melbourne 18.

Blues have no recognisable system.

And despite having stars like Curnow, McKay, Weitering, Walsh, Cripps, etc. they have little else.

I haven't seen this game tonight but they are seriously underperforming.

I fear for Vossy, don't know whether the board can hold their nerve...

need a massive clean out - ed curnow, kennedy, dow, o'brien, jack martin - none of them are good enough to be part of a decent midfield

mids don't look fit, they don't work defensively, and their disposal leaves a lot to be desired

But does it not resonate clearly of our 2017, 2018 years?

 

keep your powder dry or do you ditch another coach?

They are shocking decision makers and an inability to make clean handballs or kicks, will they hold their nerve or react to the outside noise cannot wait.

Other than AFL employees is there anyone who thinks the four umpires per game has improved the standard?

It’s gotten worse because now you have an umpire further away paying an incorrect free

2018 we made a PF.

2023 for Carlton is looking more like our 2019.

Yeah but 2017 we just missed the finals. Thanks to the Eagles V crows game and percentages.

If I could pick one ruckman to replace Max when he goes, Draper would do pretty nicely.

Just please ask him to get rid of the mullet.

Who would you rather be - Michael Voss or Marlion Pickett?

I’m too bent to ready now.

I was at Princess Park that game.  Must have been a brown paper bag left by the late John Elliott in the umpires room pre game. Was not one word in the papers the following day about that disgusting display of umpiring either.

Was that the game Greg Williams got 44 touches and failed to get a Brownlow vote?

I’m concerned Essendon will finish top 4 with a weak as water fixture to come home with.

Can someone allay my fears? 

You really are scared of a lot of other teams.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    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
