Misson knows what the Saints 1 and 3 km time trial were. Neeld knows what the Pies 1 and 3 km time trials were. Misson has clearly said we are not at that level. As for game plan Bailey played the flood well after it was obsolete and now Neeld has to teach the press and the spread as well as basic defensive ethos that we've missed since Northey. I think the 186 team was a tad worse myself.

I agree with this however today we were every bit as bad as 186. It was the same pedestrian non-effort as that bleak day.

I'm nominating myself for worst call of the year for thinking Melbourne could win tonight.

I saw Sylvia put more effort into shaking the hands of the opposition than he did playing football tonight.

At least when they played under Bailey, he didn't implement some ridiculous game plan that stifled any talent they had. At least when we lost under Bailey (which was, disturbingly, less frequently than we are losing under Neeld) we would see glimpses of talent for a portion of the games.

This is [censored], rose-coloured glasses revisionism of the highest order. Where were you in 2008? 2009? Hell where were you last year when we played WCE in Perth Carlton on Friday night footy and Geelong at Geelong? This crap about "we were OK under Bailey" makes me sick. Yes we are [censored] now but we were [censored] then as well. Neeld is trying fix this but you know what they say about polishing turds.

Settle down Gonzo and read the post... I dont think mmc was suggesting 'we were ok under Bailey" at all...they were pointing out that at least we had something to watch....the current approach on the other hand......

and as you point out today was as bad as 186..at least that was by a freewheeling high scoring GFC... today we got flogged by 16goals by SYDNEY

Well last week we dragged Hawthorn down to our level for a quarter... unfortunately they recovered to play some very very poor football that we weren't good enough to match over the second half.

I'm hoping for improvement but expecting a solid loss

FMD, even when I expect the worst I end up being over optimistic.........flogged by Sydney and playing the worst footy I've seen for years

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
