Sounds like we're woeful.

At least we're matching them in clearances and contested possessions. If that keeps up all day, that's at least something.

Obviously, an inability to pressure the ball carrier, coupled with our ridiculously poor skills, will lead to us losing most games.

we arent really matching them in anything... this is going to get very ugly

well done Dees... 3 points !!! :huh:

Yarren holds Nicho clearly, we get nothing.

They nearly rip Vineys head off - we get nothing.

Murphy gets slightly patted on his as* and gets awarded a free kick.


When sides are down like we are, you never get the rub of the green with the umps.

I hope they don't rip Jack Vineys head off before he gets rewarded a free kick.

Agree, he's been taken high at least 3 times without a free

Just dont have the class or talent. It wasnt a complete sh1thouse effort as i think we could be down by more

Happy with the intent. Despite bring down by 5 goal.

Dunn excellent, outplayed Judd

Would be a different score line if we had Dawes, Hogan and Clark in the forward 50. Thats where we have been let down.

Carlton small forwards also chopping us up.

We cant drop our heads today

Let's look at it this way. I don't believe the boys are squibbing it. The problem, as beelzebub said, is that the boys are unable to play instinctive football. There is no trust. Jones goes into packs to fish out the pill and he is quite good at this. The next stage is where we fall away. Where are the outside runners? It's like no one actually believes the ball will come out of the clearances so they sit there floating around like goldfish, mouths open and staring into space.

Brilliant! Grimes subbed out in the 1st qtr with a shoulder :( at least that brings on Kent though

Ill watch the next ten minutes and if it gets uglier ill go for my nightly run. Good to see we are t least having a crack of some sort

We are actually. Leading I50's and clearances, about equal on HO's and contested possession.

Dawes in next week, need a forward line with a bit of shape.

I don't think we have the right coach for these players.

Like alot of our young boys, they panic whenever a tad of pressure is placed upon them. And no it's not Bail's fault he's in the side. He's far from ready for AFL level/tempo footy. This comes back to the Coach and FD. I would have Magner/Couch in this team well before the likes of Bail and Strauss. At least until they've learned their craft in the Magoos for a while longer. Also i really don't see a plus for having Nicho in vs Blease. Blease offers a change of pace and elusive ability that allows him to escape his man that Nicho doesn't have atm and Blease also has a more penetrating kick IMO.

    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.
