This game shows me that our list does not yet deserve to be paid 100% of the salary cap. I know the PA rules, but where is the incentive to work at least 10-20 % harder.

Tough for the coaches.

Anyone else notice Mick Malthouse in the commentary box wearing a navy blue stripped tie? Looks like it could easily be a Carlscum tie. Or am I reading too much into it?!

I reckon Malthouse will take the job just to get away from Bruce calling him "Mickey"

Good point. What's the saying...... a fair days work for a fair days pay.

Many of our guys would have cried at quarter time.

id prefer to watch high intensity contests but free flowing footy without rolling scrums. im not saying i dont like watching footy but gee it was so much better a decade or so ago when there wasnt so much congestiona round the footy.

Congestion? Tonight's game? Rolling scrums? Tonight's game?

I feel like the OP et al. have launched a cause but paid no mind to the game they've attributed to it. The holding the ball rule (the way it's applied) has meant that there is actually less congestion, i.e. players are not able to lock the ball in as easily for ball ups etc.

i just watched the melb v richmond game late 1998. a great spectacle. instead of 27 blokes inside fwd 50 it was lyon and farmer, with tingay and co streaming down the guts. thats the type of footy id love to see the coaches get the tactics back to.

It's what happens when everybody runs. Still a great tough game.

The game we won by 76 points? Turn on the Cats beating us by 31 goals...you'll see some streaming down the guts there! Hopeless example.

yes 45 perhaps youre right. im in france so only seeing the odd highlight at the moment but the OP;s first point did get me on a tangent! something i feel strong about getting changed

umpires - horrible due to HOW they have been told to interpret.

MFC players on twitter saying how jealous they are - IF YOURE JEALOUS, PUT THE BEER DOWN, GO AND DO SOME WORK AND GET THERE YOURSELVES

I don't want them to be Jealous, I want to feel green with ENVY !

I want them to want what these boys have, success. Not money to spend on Holidays. That can come later.

We fund them, they give sweet fanny adams, then tweet from foreign shores...

I hope Misson is on a Mission, & I hope he sorts the Apes from the chimpanzees.

Funny how you guys are describing the exact style of play Mark Neeld's been trying to implement all season.

Dead right mate. Neeld has been in this stuff. He knows.

Yes i know but the gap between us & them is enormous. There must be incentive.

Point is that that isn't enough incentive when it counts. Gotta find the right cattle first, then train em hard enough and get rid of the ones that aren't willing to put in everything they have to succeed.

You are right. But it is so hard with 18 teams.

I always knew we had to get the first rebuild totally right.

We didn't. Failed badly.

Maxwell yells like a girl.

He will sook a lot more IF the MRP shows any semblance of consistency and rubs him out for 2 or 3!

Off ball, high, at least medium contact. Squirm out of that, whinger.

Playing in the AFL and trying to win a flag should be incentive enough.

I recognise all those words but in that order and context they don't seem to ring true.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
