Is it me just me, or do our players get comfortable after a win at home??? We are absolutely shocking when interstate, and we aren't much better back in Victoria most of the time. I understand we are developing a young team, but we are so bloody inconsistent and it's the more senior players that constantly let us down.

But yeah, we really need to lift, and for those who think, we are young what do you expect, i at least expect all 22 players to give it their all. We just drop our heads so quickly when we are down and with no momentum, we barely give a yelp.

Essendon are pathetic, but we are RIGHT UP THERE too.

Holey moley why not go man on man and see how we go for a 10 minutes or so....

Bartram's been ok. Somebody needs to tell the team that Jurrah isn't going to take hangers all day long and a kick to a lead is a better option

The last two weeks, Garland has turned the ball over a couple of times in the first quarter. Most of the time, these turnovers have resulted in goals. He has to get better at this. I love him, but he's had a very ordinary start.

Why is Green playing midfield? He kicked 5 goals last week, dominated as a forward, has 36 goals for the year, and we start him on a wing/half-back. Not happy with that.

Also not happy with the loose man in defence. Why did we drop Morton to work on aggression and defensive work if we're going to give him the easiest job in football (loose man in defence)? It's not having an infleunce on the game; in fact it's hurting us as McPharlin is loose for Freo and he's mopping up our inside 50s.

I'm about to do the friggin dishes if it continues the same in the second quarter.

Seriously tho, I do not know why I think we might do allright this time. we wont and I learn again that I should just do other things when we play interstate.

I think we all do......

It is not good enough.

Ugh. I love this club, but some days I hate this team.

This [censored] is ridiculous. There is developing young teams, and there is watching a team come out not ready to play. We are asleep out there, giving away DUMB free kicks, our disposal is disgusting and we are just completely lost for ideas.

And when will our senior players stands up when we need them? Bruce, Green, Rivers, Moloney, all terrible or not seen this quarter.

Thank god for Scully. He is having a nice start!

is it just me but I can pretty much tell within the first 2 minutes whether we are going to win or not. We either come to play or not and the first couple of minutes seems to show that.

I dare Bailey to play man on man football for a quarter and see the difference. And get rid of the loose man in defense, its clearly not doing us any good whatsoever.

Agree with green needing to be back in the forward line, why he's not up there i'll never know.

Scully and (it pains me to say this) Johnson are probably our only highlights.

Need to ditch the loose man tactic, man up the Fremantle defenders, get Green in the forward line, stop pushing the forwards into defence, and of course wake up.

Once again i would hate to be a forward in the Demon team on days like today.

You think the mids and backs could hit a target and move it quickly???

and people here reckon our midfield is okay now ? Don't kid yourselves, we still need a higher quality because Scully and Trengove wont be able to do it themselves. A much higher skill level is required.

In inheriting Robertson's 24 he's also inherited some of Robbo's lesser qualities. A little too selfish IMO at the moment.

Get your hand off it, it's his second game. there are a lot worse out there!!!!!!!!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
