At half time we have had 40 tackles to Port 19

7 more marks

7 more frees

19 more kicks...

27 to 25 i50s

16 to 22 clearances

We are hopeless...

Anyone blaming the players for this rubbish needs to remember how many of them were early draft picks based on their natural skills - what has the coaching staff done to change their behaviour?

It's round 17 and we're playing to the level we've played to pretty much all year yet you cry babies seem surprised.

I'm surprise because we're playing way worse than we did just one quarter ago.

I'm going to go and read the drafting threads. nothing left to see here.

Yeah but bringing more "talented kids" doesn't excite me as much as it used to. I mean, Toumpas Stringer and Wines etc sound great, but so did Trengove in 09, Morton in 07, Sylvia in 03 and so on. I just want to see us get good again.

Keep in mind this isnt so much Demons as B-mans

Jones has been quiet tonight. Blease has done absolutely nothing. I've noticed we've started to use the old Ashton Hams technique of leaning into the opposition tackle and earning bs high free kicks. It's about time. If other teams are doing it, why shouldn't we?

I don't follow your logic. We're winning most of these stats, yet you say we're hopeless. Help me out here.

Well at least there's one coach tonight making the correct decisions.

You are an apologist for the players.

There are two reasons for that. A: We can't kick for [censored]. B: We have no-one to kick to.

A is Bailey's fault/the players. B is Neeld's fault/injuries.

I feel sorry for those marines if this is the only AFL game they ever see.

Literally any other team would be beating this Port side.

    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.
