Collingwood v Melbourne



Recommended Posts

For some reason, I really like the way Joel Macdonald plays, but for God's sake he made me look bad in that first half. But I reckon if Jack Watts decides one day to get off his period, Mitch Clark learns how to work with our forward line and our coach gives Jeremy Howe more than two seconds on the field, we'll have a pretty devastating forward-line . . . that's if they can be bothered leading and our mids don't just bomb it on top of their heads anyway.

On the other hand Bate been pinged 3 or 4 times for holding the ball.

He's found something though, having a real crack. I used to call him the scarecrow cause he couldn't bend his arms. Just ran around calling for the ball with his arms in the air.

Good news is that the pressure and tackling is 200% better this year. Even Davey did a crucial smother!

Get the feeling we'll be involved in a lot of low scoring games- win or lose.

Playing the wings has been very noticeable.

Jack Watts has a 1%Er to his name. That's about it....

Watts has had some awful kicks to him but surely he's gotta do more! Who came on for howie?? What's was the thought process taking him off???

The only thing I can think of is that they've seen all they need to from him. Maybe we'll see him next week, maybe we won't, but I can guarantee he'll be one of the first picked for our Round 1 game.

Happy with the pressure, we should be ahead so that simple fact has me happy as well.

Surprised Howe and Bail subbed off but barring injury I reckon it would've been pre-destined. So I don't think it's a tactical move.

Kick straight dees!

Guessed he's shown Neeld he can play so it's time for the other kids to have a crack. Fair enough I reckon.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
