I was expecting to get beaten but, it would be nice to see the ball in our forward fifty more than on the odd occasion.

Bennell doing ok.

Davey :wacko:

Bartram must be filthy on some of his team mates.

If i didnt know beter Id say it was tanking 2010 syle...bt of course thats absurd... its simply a shite performance by many who ought tobe ashamed to today..bloody ashamed.

Whilst the coach cant go out and play he needs to give many a might big razz and do some serious reshuffling and dropping of supposed players to remind them why they are wearing that jumper

just not good enough

Just looking through the fixture, we may not win another game this year. No chance next week for sure.

Lesson's, how many lesson's do we need? It's the same old. I agree I didn't expect Melb to win, but come on. We have had enough lessons in the last two and a half seasons. We were top on tackles after RD 3. There has been NO improvement over the season AS A TEAM. Better 2nd half is on the way. Bring it back to 2 - 3 goals. Well done again Sculls!

Fair call. I hear your pain (and experiencing it myself!). I guess my point was that we are still a long way off the pace and our patience going to be tested for at least another year or two methinks!

Pressure - Nope

Run - Nope

Skills - Nope

When we don't have any of the 3 we get smashed.

Games like this highlight my belief they we desperately need to get more pace and skill into the side regardless of what the short term result is.

Also Freo's drafting and player development is just unreal and so much better than ours. That's an absolute fact.

No, not at all. This is not the coaches fault whatsoever.

I disagree with every inch of my body. It IS the coach's fault. We have a lazy and inconsistent culture that has plagued us for decades. These kids have a 2 year window to learn to be ruthless and not to accept defeat easily. Instead, I see a bunch of saps lying down because it's all just a bit hard, and 'we never win here anyway'. Pathetic.

Relax Dane. We will win at least one more game for the year. Sydney, Richmond or North at the G. Plus I would love to beat Hawthorn as pay back for RD 1.

Isn't Fremantle the team that we beat after coming back from more than 50 points behind at half time?

This one should be an absolute soda!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
