You shouldn't sign the contract unless they include the tomato sauce, @hardtack.

It'll eventually be back-ended anyway.

Which is preferable to front-ended...

Sydney don't have the mongrel of the Lions. It is clear Brisbane came out with intent from the first minute. Swans didn't want to match them which is a disgrace for a team that had the minor premiersh

I bet they paid more for Robbie a few years ago.

I think Katy will be good, she has some good tunes. Noy sure about Tina Arena coming out to sing chains with her though. Doesn't really rock the G.

But I did laugh when Katy said there are 10 melbourne teams, can't believe one of them didn't make it. It is a fair point.

Whilst strolling down memory lane, Wikipedia's summary of the 1945 Bloodbath GF is interesting reading

Wiki 1945 VFL GF

Carlton vs South

What was interesting was the aftermath and the mooted rule changes including reducing the amount of players on the ground and possibly reverting back to no boundary throw-ins (that little known rule was in operation from 1926 - 1939)

Even back then they wanted a more open free-flowing game

If the Lions get excellent production out of Hipwood & Daniher, they'll win.  They can win without them firing but they'll be doing it the hard way instead

Taking the heat in the hotspot area of the forward line as well as gaining possessions, playing in front, bringing the ball to ground front & centre and putting their bodies on the line etc etc

But most of all, hitting the scoreboard

Do all that with the other forwards chipping in and they'll be hard to beat

Talented key forwards who produce the goods are worth their weight in gold in September

Something we were sadly lacking in the finals series in 2023.  And it cost us

We had no one doing all that in the Carlton SF and only JVR in the QF (and therefore, by default, too much was placed on the shoulders of a player in his 20th game)

Hipwood & Daniher are seasoned campaigners and that makes all the difference

Our entrant in the Grand Final sprint is ... Oliver Sestan.

I imagine you'd get reasonable odds on him winning.  Gamble responsibly.

But CAN he run?

If the Swans lose it’ll be one flag from FIVE Grand Finals 

No pressure guys

And if Brisbane lose, being the runner up 2 years running would be hard to come back from

I can see this being a real do or die desperate hard fought grand final. No blow out this time.

Late team changes:

Honorary bench - well, couch - positions for Bob 'Chimp' Skilton and Kevin 'Bulldog' Murray.

Neither up to attending. I hope the game is gentle to them.

    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

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

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.

    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
