Mmmmmmm, Watts havin a go as r all the lads havin a dip at the pill........

After some pretty ordinary footy, the Dees finally score with a really nice bit of work from Watts.

Brad Green, Aaron Davey, Brent Moloney - Melbourne's "star" senior players everyone. Not the greatest start to the year for them.

Could be the start of the leadership change fallout... Although we are only 1 quarter into the season

Is it wrong that I'm over this season already?

Our midfield is killing me. So many battlers.

At least the weather is beautiful.

If any one needed to be shown why Trengove is a capt they need only be here today. He's taken to it like a duck to water.

Overall it's not a lot to cheer about . Some sublime moments ruined by some very loose manning in defense. We are not getting a clean first use at stoppages. Endeavor is good, execution is so so. Magnet a terrif find.

Hopefully we'll see some better footy in second half

If this is Melbourne pumped, I am a bit worry when the Jim stynes factor starts to settle. Fundamental errors costing us and a lack of effort from our most senior players. Hopefully the 2nd half will be a little different. Torch has to replaced on Davey and Green, especially.

Yes it is wrong, considering we're still in the game and our senior players are showing Neeld what they're really made of. The sooner he learns what we already know about them, the better off we'll be.

Doesn't matter who you have in the forward line we can't buy a bloody clearance fair dinkum!

Davey isn't AFL standard anymore hate to say it. He watches and hopes for a dish out. He's lost his pace and his little 15 metre passes do nothing.

Moloney is doing nothing.

Jones started good and went a bit quiet. Good signs by Magner and Tynan showing a bit of heart. Bail very good, Martin showing signs and if Howe could hang on to his marks he would be a lot better.

This is going to be a long, long season. God we lack midfield class and it is plain for all to see!

Posted

Oh and Trengove solid, Grimes and Rivers started good. Apart from those positives the rest have been average. Long season :(

Posted

These umpires are [censored]! I hate this game!

Posted

The umpires have screwed them just as much as they have us.

Posted

A long season looms I'm afraid if this goes on

Posted

No heart. No determination. No guts.

So far today, an embarrassment for our entire club.

If they can't turn it around today, I think I'm done.

I know it's Round 1 blah blah blah, but enough is enough, we will never have more reason to win than today and we still can't muster up a decent effort.

Posted

Moloney and Davey will find themselves at Casey next week.

Posted

I can't stomach this rubbish. Disgusting. Constant bombing it forward. Every. Single. Time.

Why is Clint Bartram a leader?

    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.

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

    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
