I for one have been guilty of some negativity around here, but mainly frustration, but today was a bloody rippa and my positive for today was Maxy Gawns effort on the HFF that set up Trenners goal, inspirational stuff like that will lift our young Dee's to greater things in the not to distant future.

One positive per post, lets c how many we can get.

YEEEEW

Two positives: (1) Stefan Martin (2) the playing team took control of their own play.

Lots of positives against a poor side.

But Jeremy Howe and Jack Watts give us a forward line with todays attitude.

Bring on the Tigers & we will know more.

I really liked Jack Watts' game today. Another preseason and he will be taking 10+ marks per game. His vision and ground level skills is amazing for a 196cm key forward.

Jeremy Howe also impressed with his marking. 12 marks and great disposal is encouraging for a first year player. I am just waiting for him to take a hanger! He has really taken over Brad Miller's position, with the added bonus of solid field kicking and decision making.

Hopefully, and Jamar too. If Garland is injured, Tapscott comes in for him, and Jamar for Gawn (harsh... but 3 rucks is too many and Jamar > Gawn)

Baileys recruiting and coaching .Anyone?

I actually think the players managed to play the way Bailey wants them to play (as they did against Essendon and Adelaide). Once they develop enough experience/game time, develop their skills further and grow into their bodies, they will be able to apply the same sort of pressure to the power teams like Collingwood and that is when we will see them vying for a flag... under coach Bailey!

Cudos to Bailey.

Just watched the coaching video from a few weeks ago again. Our Forward/Mids need to be super fit to win against top teams.

But when it works it can be very powerful.

I wasn't being sarcastic about switcher .I agree with nearly every decision he has made ( including Jmac) .The heat will be on if we keep turning in the second ( [censored] weeks) away games but he didn't go for short term options like days of yore .Brian Wilson ,Kelvin T , Peter Moore ,Jacko ,and all the other short term gratification moves we have made have failed badly .Can I get a bet on for 100-1 for 2013 flag?I'll have a hundred on it easy .

GAWN! Im telling you he is a cult hero already. So happy to see him kick his 1st goal and that pressure he applied to set up Trenners was awesome. Also he sat a few freo players on there backsides.

Howe- Awesome match and magnificent dtrong hands and kicked a couple

Green- Finally a captains game. He still missed a few that he would have got last year bit 5 goals is good and hopefully he can back it up

Watts- 24 possies or similar to that and kicked 3 goals and his use of the footy around the ground was great.

Stef Martin- 3 goals and great work around the ground and his ruck work

McKenzie- Just love him. His tackling, his pressure and isnt afraid to go in hard for the ball

Just everything about the match was great. We just need to come out and do the same stuff next week.

I didn't interpret your comments as sarcasm... I was in agreement.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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’

    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
