Sounds though Tappy is going well, how many touches has he had?

Tapscott has been very good in first official hit out for Melbourne. His ability to hit targets and his long kicking skills have been on show

Just got some basic stats ... Marks: BL 73 Melb 29, Disposals: BL 187 Melb 144, Rich (14), Adcock (13), McGrath (12), Rockliff (12). Melb: Bail (11), Tapscott (11), Moloney (10)

I'd say tappy has had about 8 or 9 possies, couple of clearances.

The marks stat is significant, we always kick to contests and are rarely in space

Jack Watts needs to learn to take marks in his hands. I can't believe the forwards coach hasn't taught him that.

He dropped two chest marks that quarter due to gving his opponent the opportunity to make body contact and spoil.

29 marks to 73?

Yeah that's huge huh??? especially if a majority are contested like mentioned. I'm not there but surely we've gotta man up, seems like they must just be chipping it around at will. As I said I'm not there so correct me if I'm wrong.

The good news- we're missing Jurrah, Green, garland, Davey, bartram, grimes, mckenzie, frawley and Morton.

The bad news is we're playing very ordinary footy. So many simple skill errors and turnovers.

Petterd took some ripper grabs that pleased the fans.

I wouldn't ripped into Watts had he not have kicked a nice goal on the flank. Scully has had about 2 touches. Either he's not going near the ball or the balls not going near him.

Great to see Tappscott get a couple of kicks including a 60mtr bomb that set up the opening Martin goal.

Yeah he has spilt one or two today. But give him a break, has laid some good tackles and contesting well. It'll come..

Not there either Dee. But it's a concerning stat.

Yeah was just looking at the Demonland Banner 5 outta the 7 key players missing plus man more, only sylvia and sculy playing, and scully will take a couple of hit outs to find the ball again i'd say.

Tuning in from the other side of the planet where it's the middle of the night and I've just woken up to the half time score.

Disappointing to read that we're still committing the same sins that we did last week but it looks as if we don't really have the A team out there and, as my taxi driver reminded me earlier tonight, it's only a practice match (he couldn't speak English but at least I think that's what he was saying). Anyway, I wouldn't get my knickers in a knot folks. The same driver told me the Cats and the Saints both copped floggings and I'll be back to direct the team's fortunes for Round 1.

Meanwhile, I'm looking over the Mediterranean and wondering if the mad colonel has been kicked out by his people yet. Time to go back to sleep.

Rohan Bewick kicks a goal for the Lions. BL increase margin. BL 81 M 59.

Unfortunately for Melbourne - that's the biggest lead so far in the match and it's by BL.

Jetta again bangs the ball forward. But BL defend. Regain possession in middle

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
