Expected scores currently is 72.5 to 61.6.  Interesting.

Bombers have played 1.5 decent quarters and just didn’t miss the goals. Blues have outplayed them for longer but are just a mess forward half.

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.

Blues just can’t kick straight. Lack of scoreboard pressure and wasting their opportunities meant Bombers eventually got passed them and kicked away. Blues are better than 14th on the ladder suggests. They’re completely average, but if the could kick straighter for goal they’d be 8-12th on the ladder instead.

48 free kicks. Forty eight. 
What a slop AFL is becoming 

It truly is becoming a blight. Especially when it is so lob sided and inconsistent. 

I really hope it doesn’t feature tomorrow - but you know it will.

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

Yes I am about ready to metaphorically of course, shove a whistle down an umpires throat! It’s ridiculous, they paying just about any contact as a free!

Horrendous umpiring and atrocious skill level tonight. There’s been some seriously poor games recently. This may be the worst year of footy I can remember actually in terms of game quality. Such poor skill level and the umpiring gets worse by the week.

Said after round 4 it was the best I could remember the game quality. Now I’d be lucky to watch 3 games a week. Absolutely horrible!

A lot of teams are hanging for the bye. Lots of tired sloppy skills this weekend.

The umpires have lost their way..it's sad to see and making it difficult to watch a game without throwing something at the TV...and that's neutral games.

A good idea would be to go back to the rule book.

In the 2 games I've watched so far, in the back has become a chook raffle.

It used to be simple...hands in the back is hands in the back.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
