King is an excellent analyst and gave sound reasoning to his views. Did you watch the show ?

Roos has expressed surprise at Melbourne's gameplan.

Brad Scott mentioned on Footy Insider that we setup very differently and haven't embraced the forward press. You may think that's a good thing.

Lyon has expressed concerns.

Gerard Healy wrote an article in March which was highly critical of our gameplan.

But you prefer the views of anonymous Melbourne supporters that post on the internet ? :blink:

Btw, who are these well informed posters ? And what do you mean "trust" ? It's not a matter of "trust".

I agree that a critical mass has been reached and our gameplan has some gaping holes - not least the inability to perform a decent press.

I am saying that I don't appreciate the views of those two commentators.

I understand what Roos is saying and I remember the Healy article. I think McClure and King, and especially Robinson, are bobble heads that repeat what they hear in the echo chamber.

That is just my view on those commentators.

And, believe it or not, I think that some posters on here have more informed views.

And I am 'trusting' them to have more informed views, not the poster themselves...

But thanks for this, I always enjoy semantical clarification...

An unusual leap of faith and certainly one I don't share.

As previously requested, who are these posters ?

rpfc knows his stuff...

You know your footy, Rogue, 45, DC, HT, and nutbean are up there. A few others.

All to varying degrees, on varying issues.

I read some sense on here occasionally...

You do too, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Nasher too. The opposite of whatever Freak says is usually bankable.

In my time reading this forum, I've noticed AoB, Stylus and Goodvibes offering some intelligent discussion.

I would agree with that.

2 Sheds is also a bright poster.

Yes, unfortunately doesn't post often enough.

There are others sitting at the back of my mind, but in general the good posters don't seem to post that often.

No offence intended to those that do!

I value the contributions of Whispering Jack, and would like to see more of Finks, Fan and Pantaloons.

Plus the failure to come 'closest to the pin' re: membership tally predictions

    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 Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
