First post after being an observer for a long time.

Travelled from Adelaide for the Tribute game - had to go to acknowledge the contributions of a truly remarkable man - and was impressed with the pre game presentations. He will be greaty missed.

Jason Akermanis made some comments on our current situation as a part of a radio interview over here tonight. He is not sure if Neeld can actually coach - and claims to have spoken to a close friend who played for the Bulldogs against us on Sunday who thought the Bulldogs played really poorly despite the win, but that we were rubbish and consequently the Bulldogs were very disappointed with their performance. Yes, I know it is Aka, but he does raise some interesting points, many of which have been raised before. The Link is attached - his reference to Melbourne is approx 6 min 30 secs into the interview.

Why would anyone listen to Aker? He is a waste of space.

I must admit I got a chuckle out of "is David King ever right?". King annoys me - he's one of those people who sounds as if he knows what he's talking about, but when you listen a bit closer...

Disagree.

He does not even sound like he knows what he's talking about.

He is actually a dunce.

He's not wrong though, so whether you like the man or not is irrelevant. We had a decent burst in the 3rd quarter and were playing a Bulldogs team that is actually playing bad footy, and had struggled to kick goals before round 4. And yet, the team lost by giving away some frustratingly easy goals.

We were not very good on the weekend. I fail to see how "improvement" equates to performing well.

Tell us something we DON'T know Aka. Terry Wallace said after the game the Dogs were at their worst since 1996 - he was being constructive. Doesn't say much about us but our upside is way better and our 3rd and 4th quarters showed the spirit, hopefully , we will turn around. The coaching panel will get the rest sorted in time.

Go Demons

Im going to shut up now as everytime someone mentions the truth on here it gets deleted!!

Truth? Be great to have some actual information (e.g., facts) to back up your assertions?

Everyone wants to have a go at us because we're and easy mark; Akermanis is just the latest in a long line but who cares what he says, it's just words coming from someone that has zero credibility. The only way we will stop the constant criticism is if the players show they are no longer there to make up the numbers and they have a genuine desire to put it all on the line to win a flag.

When you have a player from another team say we play bruise free football it really is the ultimate insult; that hurts more than the words of a jerk like Akermanis.

Do you have any thoughts on the topic, JnrMac? Pointless posting if you're not going to contribute anything.

Really? It's all JA is worth. Not worth discussing any further than that. Oxygen thief.

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 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
