How many times do we have to get freed for high tackles before the players learn to tackle the body????? Bail managed it twice in a couple of minutes!

Jones is playing well - the attack on the ball is there by most of our players we just need a lift in intensity and some class. Trengove, Grimes, Watts have hardly touched it. McDonald again, doing well down back.

We are the laziest, most concentration-lacking, bunch of unorganized players I've ever seen at AFL level

thats Tom?

Lots of out of bounds on the full was our problem in the corresponding game last year. I reckon we'll have about 7-8 this week too.

Posted

Yeah Tom haven't sighted Joel Mac.

Would be nice if we could spot someone up inside 50. We get to about 80 out and just bomb it on the boot. Like watching juniors play.

Posted

Embley in the hands of the trainers with a shoulder problem.

Another out on the full. I know its a narrow ground but this is just stupid.

There's another one.

We're up to 3 now.

Forward line can't do much when they have the ball just bombed in the air. Pinpoint some passess and get some numbers around the ball and we might be in danger of kicking a repsectable score.

Posted

Do we ever apply a "hard tag"?? Scott Selwood running absolute riot.

Posted

Frees are 10-1 to the Eagles. Shouldn't expect any better over there.

Posted

We are extremely lazy. So much for that 'big' pre season. We don't man up, we don't Play in front and we have no second efforts. These are the basics and we can't even do that. Don't worry about a gameplan until we can do the little things.

Joel - can he ever hit a bloody target?

Seems that the game plan forbids them to do that.

Posted

Would love to see a stat on the number of frees we have given away for high tackles that quarter.

Posted

Joes mac terrible.

Whats with the false aggression and giving away high frees.

watts is out of his depth in that half back role.

Frawley is a shadow of 2010.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
