cant see us winning a game now til we play GWS

We're no certs to beat them either.

There is no way possible that we could win a game of footy with yesterday's 22.

The last time we had to respond to a crisis was after 186 and we lost to Carlton by 70 pts after an even 1st qtr. I expect a similar outcome Saturday.

I was at the game against the Eagles last year and I shudder to think about next week. The Eagles are very professional they'll take advantage of the percentage boost on offer and I think there's b#gger all we'll be able to do about it.

Round 3 will be a beauty with both Richmond and Melbourne looking for their first win.

Ashton Hams could give Davey and Blease a few tips on the role of the small forward - hunting the footy, sticking your head over the pill and tackling with purpose.

Blease shirked the hard ball twice yesterday......a quote from his school footy coach - 'he's quick but gives us nothing'

Sellar will definitely play next week. Their fwd line is very tall and Lynch is a monster. Exactly the type of player Sellar was recruited for. We still have to handle Kennedy, Darling, NikNat and Gaff up fwd. We are in trouble by some way.

i can foresee a 100 point drubbing easily. Last year's game, which I attended was downright depressing, I can remember us turning the ball over constantly due to the relentless Eagles pressure, and the run and spread by the eagles was phenomenal with players finding acres of space on the wide expanses of Subiaco. We looked really unfit then now that I think about it, there were times when the Eagles switched to the fat side after a Dees turnover in attacking 50 and they went end to end with 50+ m passes to players with daylight to their melbourne opponents. I was embarrassed to be a dees supporter that day.

Eagles have ramped it up a notch since then so I expect a real belting.

I'm looking forward to next week's game to see how we respond. I don't think we're going to win, but I have a feeling we will be much more competitive.

To be fair though, it would be hard to be less competitive than we were on the weekend.

There is nothing to look forward to about the west coast game. We are going to be opened up and gutted like a fish. My prediction is It will be the biggest thumping of the year for any team

It'll be a very telling game for our team, that's for sure. Will we be able to respond from a very poor performance and a week of criticism? Who's going to step up, if anyone? As I said: I'm not expecting a win, but I think we will be much more competitive than we were against Brisbane. I think (maybe I'm just being overly optimistic) that many on here will be surprised.

Noticed that bum Darling kicked 1 goal 2 yesterday.

Gee I am glad we picked cook in preference

What a dud he is. Must be his attitude problem.

Yes he probably had a orange juice on the plane home last night.

Disgusting behaviour

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
