Thats why mckenzie should not play afl. Absolutely shat his dacks then abd turnover cost us a goal.

I'm all for playing on. When it makes sense. Not when you're panicked.

Our players mostly struggle to make good decisions. Even senior players. It's not good enough.

You are 100% correct.

That is a decision to be made by the players, and has nothing to do with the coach. If anything it is evidence the coach is supporting and encouraging his players.

It's like Watts has a rule that for every good thing he does he'll do 2 more bad things

Sorry I forgot I can't blame the coach for our inability to make basic decisions with and without the footy. Apparently he is absolved from all blame that we are heading towards 100-3 loss.

This is now as ugly as I expected.

Our competitive efforts and attack on the man and ball are as good today as anytime this year, and are acceptable.

We are losing because our skills under pressure are terrible.

Thank God -Hawthorn is starting to thump us. New coach coming real soon. Great! We might even win a match. Perhaps he could tell wattsie to get the ball wherever it is!

Posted

Quite frankly no one could coach this mob ,, bloodless hopeless skills by our bums !!

Spot on. We have had chances but spew it up by foot.

This is the team that Bailey , Neeld and the mighty Barry P built, christ we where meant to pushin for the upper part of the top 8 by 2013, this clubs a joke, nothing can fix this losing culture, this clubs time is nearly up.

How can we have so many players devoid of basic skill set at AFL level...

Our effort was good for the first quarter. We've totally shat ourselves now as usual and Neeld has loaded the backline already.

Epic smashing coming up. Brace yourself.

You can blame the coach for a lot of things but this isn't one of them.

Your football knowledge is better than stooping to this sort of irrationality. Pick on the coach for things the coach controls.

Watts as the loose man is a joke. Give him a chance up forward FFS.

Presser should be good

Wait so decision making is not the coach's domain?

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
