I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

I'm sure that a team total of 110 tackles would set some kind of record. No team had more than 75 last weekend.

If we got to 55 we would be making a massive improvement.

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

Dead set certs now that we've made changes at the top.

Not just for the win this week but the flag.

Will firm if more off field heads roll.

So glad they sacked Schwab.

Worst player in the team.

110, in one of the most incredible tackling displays you are ever likely to see. I'm not sure that Melbourne could match that number this weekend if it was the only thing they tried to do for the entire game.

Tackling IS a football skill. It's one of the hardest and most important skills. I'm sure that Sydney spend a lot of time working on this skill. Union and League teams put a great emphasis on it as well.

That's a fair ask for a team going well let alone us.

I would love this club to come out all guns blazing and win a game

But Sylvia's 9 Possesion 0 contested possessions tells me not to get my hopes up

I am expecting an absolute Shallacking by the Weagles. In excess of 100 points.

I would dearly love to be proved wrong.

If the shallacking occurs and then we get thrashed by GWS the following week, Neeld just has to go.

If they lose the whole bench to injury in the first quarter, the sub hurts himself in the second, the umpiring is outrageously tilted in our favour and we play out of our skins we're a chance.

Typical- Kerr and Le Cras come back this week.

I'm tipping something worse than the port game but not as bad as the Essendon game - 113 point margin.

Neeld will have one last chance to get the boys up v's GWS.

Wonder if they would have played if West Coast were playing Colingwood or Geelong?

We will lose and hopefully by less than 6 goals but I'm not holding my breath, that's only 9 points a quarter difference and it's asking a fair bit.

They're already missing 7 or so Best 22, the midfield is mostly very young, Priddis is slow, Kerr (if he plays) is slow and old.

Cox isn't in great form, Le Cras (if he plays) would still have an ulna or radius which has not properly-knitted.

The Essendon Injury List was practically nil. This is a different ball-game. If the boys can summon a level of gumption from somewhere,

get a start for a change and keep things going they could be a rude and unusual chance.

despite our absolutely loathesome, pathetic performances thus far in season 2013, we're not actually quite as bad as people think.

It was our worst EVER loss at the MCG. We were that bad.

Kerr and Le Cras as ins this week obviously ain't great ...

I'd prefer those ins to natanui and wellingham!

Kerr is a champion and a warrior but is getting on. Lecras will probably do a hammy in the first 10 mins, he's so injury prone

No one's disputing we were that bad in THAT game.

That said, I don't think this is the worst Demons side I've ever seen. Could be wrong though - it's only round three and we're already negative 225 or so after two games.

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
