Anzac Day clash is a big marketing con

I don't know about you guys but the advertising and comments about this game are really beginning to make me sick.

I think this Kangas fan on the Herald-Sun website sums it up pretty well - it's a game of footy not a battle.

Respect to the diggers - hope you all get to catch up with a heap of your mates tomorrow - but don't have to put up with footballers comparing their experience to yours.

Yep, good article, thanks for posting it. I'm with you, players, clubs & AFL should take note not to insult the diggers by comparing their experiences to a game of footy

i agree 100%... was listening to sen in bed this morning, and they were going on about the army award for courageous acts on the footy field etc... load of crap...

How about we all line the ‘G with .22 rifles, a few tins packed with nails, shrapnel and gunpowder and take potshots at the players… then see how they feel about spruiking about how they channel the spirit of the Anzacs!

i wouldn't mind wiping out a few magpies and bombers, although would be better used on their supporters tbh

Second biggest game of the year apparently. When someone like Lovett-Murray wins the medal, its hardly inspiring.

What a load of sh1te this game is, 2 clubs below average at this stage 'battling' it out in an era where physical contact is shunned upon.

It's entertainment for the ANZACs and they like it so why not, but yes, don't piant a picture Lovett, Josh Fraser, Alwyn Davey, Scott Pendlebury are 'soldiers' or something.

I hate the fact that the last post gets played at all games, it should be played on Anzac day and not 2 days later, I agree with what was said, when I listened to grandparents talk about the war and my uncle about Vietnam, running at the ball whilst 3 guys were barreling at you or running with the flight of the ball whilst courageous pales in significance with what all those who have served went through and comparing the two is pathetic.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
