Captain’s challenge time.
I want to see how the AFL tick this one off 

Excellent idea, as long as it is restricted to one challenge for game-changing moments.

Well I am just happy Geelong lost and will not make the 8. Excellent. 

As for peeing and moaning about the Adelaide goal I am glad they lost. Their supporters are an incredible pack of [censored] and they can rot down the bottem end of the ladder for ever.

Yes some good came out of today’s results, Cats, Crows and Bombers not playing finals.

However there is usually bad as well and that’s Blues win over Suns by 4 points, courtesy of Curnow and again poor umpiring.

You don't mind when games are decided by objectively incorrect umpiring calls?

Once again crucial results decided by goal umpires being piled on by 9 players and goal line technology proudly brought to you by Nokia 3310 

Nokia 3310?  No. Surely Kodak Box Brownie.

Longmire said Papley had tightness in his hamstring. Lets hope it keeps him out next week.

..... alternatively, he plays and twangs it at the first contest.

I'd rather hope we clinch fourth spot tomorrow and can give Max, Viney, Oliver and Petracca plenty of resting time on the bench next week in a match where the result probably won't matter much for us.

Tom McCartin might miss with suspension for bump on McAdam.

There's a chance next weeks game will became the "Who Wants A Home Final Cup" they might be playing for 6th spot and we might still have a chance "small now" for 2nd.

There was still 1:18 left. If keys goal was paid then Sydney still would have had time to score. And they may have.

Nicks is right though. The first half cost them where they played terribly. They also kicked 4-8 in that final quarter

I just want him to miss because he's a pain in the backside

Went to the game with some Crows mates and were right behind the Keys shot. On my kids life that was a goal and can't believe it was not reviewed. The level of incompetency is a joke.

This is all correct.

Although it's fair to note Sydney kicked 0.1 in the last quarter. The odds of them finding a goal in the last minute were low.

There's no doubt that if that had happened to us the overwhelming majority view on here would be that we were denied a win. You only have to look to last week.

Yes, he's a bit of a show-off but he's also a livewire who would bring some fizz to our up-and-down forward line. Some pretty grubby characters in AFL history have also been fantastic players. Luckily we have the mighty Max, who sets our standards for both character and performance..

Is it right to criticise the ARC for this one?  
The umpire didn’t send it for review.  100% on the goal umpire.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.

    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
