The Good

The First Quarter

Juice

Maric

Jurrah

The Bad

Surrendering a 5-goal lead to lose eventually by 7

Brad Green

Bennell

3rd quarter goalkicking

Wonna not having the ability to run out 3 quarters

The Ugly

Injuries to Bail and Garland

Bailey forced to leave Garland on because he knew Bennell wasn't hard enough

Lynden Dunn - thank god you're getting suspended because that was terrible

The umpiring

I would rather sit through a Miley Cyrus concert than watch our club play like that again.

If it wasn't for that first quarter then that would be one of the worst losses in the past few years. We got flogged by a bunch of talentless nobodies.

The Good:

Martin and Newton giving a real contest up against a quality ruckman in Goldstein

Davey and Sylvia had a crack

The first quarter

The Bad:

The last three quarters

Our forward line struggled - Petterd, Wona, Watts etc couldn't get there hands on it enough

Moloney struggling with a hard tag

Jetta, Maric and Bennell when he came on not giving us enough when it counted.

The Ugly:

The injuries

The umpiring

The way we roll over way too easily.

As bad as the West Coast game.

Good

Frawley

Tapscott

Bad

Everything after quarter time

Newton being put in the ruck

Newton when in the ruck

Jetta

The injuries

Going from 31 points up to 41 points down

oh to add to the ugly the fact that you could see it coming 5mins into the second quarter and knew nothing would change

This.

I was sitting in the Kangaroos cheer squad and it was painfully obvious.

Bitterly cold and disappointed.

Early report, 2 FA, 8 disp - had a SC score of 19 which meant they were all ineffective basically.

The worse thing that came to life today was the pathetic leadership and in particular Brad Green.Sometimes he looks timid.

Hopefully you're joking. Either that or where you were sitting was so far from the ground you honestly couldn't see him.

He was woeful.

Deserves 5 weeks for a crude bump on Pratt early on. Then proceeded to give free kicks away left right and centre, soft (again) in marking contests, didn't get involved in the play, and generally looked like a VFL reserves player.

Didn't deserve a game last week. Didn't deserve a game this week. Doesn't deserve a game next week (and won't get one), nor for a long time.

I just asked what he got reported for. Geez. Maybe I was tending to child at the time, I just didn't see it. I did see the rest of his game which was appalling.

Oh right. I wasn't having a go at you btw.

He ran past the ball, and chose to bump Pratt, which was uncessary given he was on the ground without the ball. He hit him in the head. I can't imagine what he was trying to do other than bump him either.

Even though he did bugger all for the first three quarters I loved Maric's crumb goals at the end. Junktime or not they were beautifully taken.

Would have been nice for him to get involved in the first half, but I agree, he did some nice things late in the game.

He's gone backwards JCB, this year. Like he's lost his commitment? He's gone back to where he was 3 or 4 Years back. Whats happened to his putting the head over the ball stuff, & lead by example?

Edit. PS: Is Green out of contract this year?

    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.

    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.
