    Can't see this one being too popular - the standard 9-month pregnancy is already pretty taxing on women. 

    Haha, what an outrage! Extra incubation time for future parent-child selections?

    This is the poisoned chalice handed out by the AFL.  Need to get 6K to a game or we don't expand the season. 

    Not much chance of that when teams are sent to Frankston at 5.00 on a Friday night, or Mordor on  a Thursday, or Wigan oval in the Adelaide suburbs, or Warnambool.......

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • GAMEDAY: North Melbourne

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
