Yes bring back Barassi with his 8 year plan - it worked so well last time...

That's enough for me tonight.

For a club who supposedly spent all summer on their kicking, I think we may need to spend all winter on it too.

Oh, and a forward line that stays there so when we do kick it up there we have more than 1 on 3 would probably help.

Geez I'm glad I waited all summer for this.

agree with you 100%

getting smashed in a nab cup game isnt a good sign

This thing is terrible, I've been waiting for this day for months only to be shut down like this and wake up tomorrow reading the hun with another article bagging our club or our picks

Yeh, it's only NAB. But.... we are playing a terrible footy side. Maric is unfortunately not up to it, and we make so many skill errors it'a hard to see what has changed. Still can't hold tackles. Forward line utterly dysfunctional.

We literally don't have a player over 6"0 that can lead HARD out of the goal square and take a big, hard, strong, contested mark. How can you even hope to win games when your only real option for goals are midfielders like Sylvia, or running playings like Green and Moloney? Jurrah is great, but you can't build a forward line around him. History has shown that a player of his type can be too inconsistent.

Arghh

I'm over this game.

We're asleep, nobody is even close to their opponent, we still can't kick out of the backline, or kick at all for that matter.

Oh oh, the umpires are a disgrace!!!!

Thank god for Trengove, Scully, Grimes and Frawley.

I feel sorry for my son, only 4 weeks old and a member of a side that is playing like they just had their nails done.

reality is we will and were always going to continue to feel pain this year...

we all want it now but we just got to hang in there...

We live in hope...

Too much handballing for a club with bad skills. I think our game plan should change to getting the ball and smashing it 50m instead of stuffing around with it

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
