This will be one of the great chokes in a Season if Vegas lose this. I am actually shocked after watching the first 40 minutes. They absolutely had Carlton on the ropes, playing fast aggressive footy 

Bathwater?

Some more iffy highs being paid to Carlton.

And we smashed this mob last week.

They were obviously resting during it.

Maybe we should have as well.

Weren’t we into Acres at one point? Solid winger can take a great mark. 

Probably, but never realistically in the picture for whatever reason. That trade was baffling and has to be draft tampering. Carlton gave up a future third round pick for Acres, who had just been Freos best player in the finals before exit. He's a good footballer and has toweled us up a few times now.

Just goes to show preseason matches are completely and utterly irrelevant. We belted Carlton last week. They come out next week in the real stuff and best Brisbane up at the gabba. We come out and roll over to the Swans.

I guess they realised nothing’s won in February.

The Blues have had a ripping summer by all accounts.

Makes me sick seeing Carlton leapfrog past us this past year. The only difference between us is they play fast aggressive football with ball in hand and can hit leading forward targets.

Great game it has to be said

huge result for Carlton. sets up the season for them.

Lions really [censored] the bed. Pathetic second half from them

That was a really good game of footy, and as much as I hate to say it, a great win from the Blues. 

Dees take note - foot skills create wins.

Bears' massive choke - Normanic proportions.   

Were the Bears cocky or the Blues inspired?

What do you mean the only difference?

They have a midfield that is as good as ours if not better (with Walsh to come back), a forward line with a generational FF, a powerful CHF and proper small forwards, and a defence which has Weitering to come back. 

They have forward half talent we’d kill for and they maximise that talent.

I love the movement and presentation of olayera from both sides. We look really stagnant in front of the ball apart from a few passages.

It’s going to be one of those wacky years folks.
Everyone thought Carlton was dead after a quarter and a half of footy. 

Loooooong way to go

I don't care what people think. Lions threw that game away.

Kiddy Coleman was a huge out for Brissy. They didn’t have anyone in the backline with a cool head to quieten the game down. He is also one of the best field kicks. Unironically made a big difference losing him.

Lyon saying the conditions were humid and tough to play in? If that’s true then we have no excuse for how we played. Both teams looked like they were in completely dry weather tonight. 
 

WTF

Credit to Carlton. They made some big tactical changes at half time and won territory. If only our coaching staff would make in-game moves…

    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.

    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
