Ran into Brock McLean this morning while having lunch in Moonee Ponds, he was having lunch with family. Still on crutches and leg all strapped up, I wished him well for next season.

He obviously isn't in Perth today, and doubt Robbo will be there either (still on crutches no doubt).

Without McLean, Green and Moloney not there a guy like Jones can't handle the extra pressure yet. Need him to step up in the middle and win us a few clearances in the third quarter!

2nd term was pathetic but there is still a half of footy left!

Agreed they are a very young list.. There just doing really basic mistakes, which u would expect off under 10`s. But there giving it a crack which is all we can ask1

boys arnt running hard... gee cant wait for morton 2 get some muscle behind him. Gana be a superstar..We look so much lighter than them.

They are running the ball far too easily out of defence. No pressure at all. Thankfully Freo can't kick straight. Apart from Miller our forwards an ineffectual today.

We can't get the ball past the centre at the moment. Turnover city. Just as I write this we turn it over again and, yep, it's Buckley. Learn how to kick.

He can kick the ball, its our midfield..... making our defence under so much pressure!!!!!

Bloody hell.... Martin holding ball in Freo FF 50

Hrmmmmm senior players please stand up!! younger players well done.. Juice for the bin.

This is only the third time this season that I feel utterly ashamed of our performance.

Apart from Miller who is working his arse off, our players are lazy and generally just don't care.

And how many goals can Wheatley cost us with his turnovers before somebody drags him off the ground?!!!

Not winning is one thing, playing like we are at the moment is completely unacceptable.

P.S.- awesome leadership from Bruce out there :rolleyes:

Kinda hoped that a modest loss at worst would have us off the bottom. Don't think so

1 out of last 12 goals!! Doesn't get much worse. :angry:

Especially after the strides we have made over the last month. Freo are rubbish. Absolute rubbish. And we have rolled over and let them run all over us for 2 quarters. I think a summer working on our skills is ahead for the boys. We can't keep turning it over like this.

Posted

So many players just butchered the ball that quarter, disgraceful effort. Morton and Sylvia two of the chief suspects. Our leading forwards apart from Miller were absymal, Juice has had about 3 touches for the game, Aussie not many more.

And that holding the ball against Martin was a disgrace, notice Jakovich said it was a good decision, no surprises there, nor did he have much to say when it was obvious Sandilands had dropped that mark inside 50.

Geez, its gonna be a long plane flight home for these boys...

Depends if you want draft picks or wins

I want draft picks, but the way we're playing today no amount of early picks is going to help us.

Draft picks don't make you accountable for your man, don't enable you to hit targets, and sure as hell doesn't make you play with more desire.

We only have 3 senior players out there today, and not one of them has stood up and done anything worth mentioning. Without McLean in the middle, Green down back and with Miller not getting any delivery up forward (having to run into the centre to try and provide an option), there's little wonder we're falling apart.

And for the love of god, would someone PLEASE teach Bate to play below his knees!!!

    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.
