Well, it's an ordinary game and we're on top. It looks like the players are slowing down in the humid conditions.

It looks like Moloney had the right idea getting himself properly hydrated earlier in the week :lol: .

Half Time:

Melbourne 11.9.75

Gold Coast 4.5.29

The skies look threatening and from the look of the players the effort is particularly tiring. Fitness is going to be important and the commentators are talking about activating the sub early. Timing could be interesting.

Lazy, pure and simple.

Working out why Collingwood are so good isn't hard. They run hard with and without the ball, they aren't just thinking about getting the ball themselves they think about where they need to be if their teammate gets the ball.

Melbourne don't do any of this. Melbourne are about five goals down for what I would consider a pass mark to this point.

Agreed completely with this, if we brought this lack of intensity and process to any other AFL game we would be beaten.

How is this in anyway good? Time to form the Bring Back John Northey Action Faction. (It's hard to be patient when we get this tripe served up) 1964 in the Southern Stand seems a long time ago.

Struggling to win the quarter against this mob although hitting the post four times doesn't help!

Good to see Aaron Davey in the goals but how did he miss the one on the siren.

Three Quarter Time

Melbourne 15.14.104

Gold Coast 8.11.59

Live score at Quarter Time in the other game (where a goal umpire's decision was overruled on the say so of a boundary umpire - I hate that!)

Fremantle 5.6.36

North Melbourne 4.3.27

Goodbye Bunnings Warehouse and Creative Gourmet.

No Grunt

No Game Plan

Lucky we are playing a team of kids.

Thank God No Ablet or Brown

They would have overtaken us by now

Bailey has no Clue how to REV up and position a side to beat a team of KIDS

We are [censored].

It's simple, we have not improved one bit since last year, actually gone backwards in our skills.

I have been patient with Bailey and what he has had to work with, but I am really struggling to see what he is trying to do, and if he is doing what he wants, it's wrong. And if it's the players not following his instructions then we are in as much trouble.

Ross Oakley was just another corporate w#%nker with a cash register for a heart and a TV for a brain.

Probably still not game to cross over the Westgate to the Western suburbs-long memories out that way

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
