Schadenfreude and the memory of this is all that gets me out of bed at the moment.

If anything happens in footy this week more stupid than playing someone a single WEEK after a hamstring tear, it’ll have to be REALLY stupid.

The loss of Jackson has hurt us!

TDK plays a similar role and I think is even more agile than LJ. Just needs to build a tank and I think could match or be better than LJ.

Anyone have an idea of the %win rate for teams on back to back 6 day breaks in recent years?

Carlton are on back to back 6 day breaks next week which surely isn’t a bad thing for us.

@Bring-Back-Powell against us Carlton will be playing their 5th game in 27 days, we'll be playing out 4th in 29 days.

Not just epic Daicos, but also epic Carlton defence, or non defence. 
And why shouldn’t they lose 3 on the trot.  
I see Colonwood have a freebie next week. 

They look very shabby down back without Saad at ground level and his occasional intercept marks.

Weitering VG aerially of course.

I'm with you on De Koninng but Nick Dacios would improve our midfield easily.

Ditto.  Very similar traits to LJ at his best but potentially more upside as he gains experience.

Terrible defending by Carlton to let Daicos kick the winner just let him run through the stoppage unopposed

Huge.  Pies v Blues.  That was pressure.  Finals like. 89000 crowd.  Pies were huge in the contest.  Pressure.  Tackling.  Forward lines were open but the defenders swarmed.  No place for short steps. That was the standard.  Pies will get Mitchell and Degoeeeeeey back. Blues get plenty back in Saad, Marchbank and Martin.  Both will be stronger.  Both are contenders.  Can we match it? Can the Dees bring that intensity.  We did v the Power but not in other games.  We need to be the danger.  breaking bad danger GIF

What a crappy way to wake up on a Saturday morning to see that the pies won last night 

it would have been almost as bad seeing blues win   But not quite.

a draw would have been satisfying

Saturday morning is one of the best parts of my week. Lie in, brewed coffee and toast. All spoilt by having every media outlet (TV, social media & internet)gushing over everything Pies, Collingwood, and Daicos. Vomit inducing.

Having said that, yes Daicos can be soft, but he is an absolute gun if you give him a centimetre of space and has a habit of being "lucky" late in games. No luck, simply a very good footy brain and super skills to execute in high pressure moments. And channel 7 constantly showing his dad Peter is excruciating, but he is now a channel 7 person so this is going to go on for some time.

Is it wrong to want a whisky so early in the morning? I will leave the Dalmore, and maybe go the Monkey Shoulder (best budget whisky in the world). This might get me over all this Collingwood BS.

That was really illuminating. Dwayne is very animated in the box. He’s still insufferable, but he does clearly love the game.

Imagine if the Blues had won.

The best that can be said is they have got them both out of the way so weekend footy can proceed.

Perhaps free of BT and what must must have been last night's worst commentary team they could put together

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
