Given all the talk about draft picks and who might tank etc etc etc

I note our last 3 fixtures with interest:

Round 20 V West Coast at the G

Round 21 V Port at AAMI

Round 22 v Richmond at the G

Things could get interesting

Agree the tigers are on 2 and a half wins, have to play us 2 more times and carltank as well, prob freo over here as well as wet toast

they should get to 6 wins easy

SURELY we are not suggesting the WEAGLEs will continue their horrible form. Port are pretty awful, but to fall this far form runners up last year is a bit rich. Both the eagles and Port should have racked up a few more wins by round 20. I hate to say it, we are just THAT far off the comp this season it hurts.

i won't feel comfortable with carlton until they get there 5 wins.

i mean seirously...if they have only 4 wins by round 10 they'll probably lose the next 12 and claim Naitanui and Rich.

but seriously... carlton only need 3 more wins for the year, and richmond only 2...so i think we're pretty safe.

and Port and WCE will definietly win 5. they'v got interstate advantage also which helps

Are you serious?

You can't be sugesting that Port will be staying where they are!!!

They will easily finish top 6 ...they have too many guns in that team.

Your right they should, I had them top 4. However they were smashed big time last year after a quick Mark Williams minirefurbish, I just wonder if MW has decided that to be successfull they need a little bit more or this or that.

Well they've got the majority of their team on the field, save for Priddis and Hansen (whose overrated anyway), and they're not really putting up much of a fight. Kerr can't cope with being no. 1 instead of 2 or 3, Lynch is starved of opportunity now that the midfield is worse... sometimes clubs just have bad years so i think W.C. will do pretty bad. Not bad enough to win 4 or less, but they won't make finals

    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.
