Just have to demonstrate greater composure when clearing from our back 50. Other than the errors and Geelong's additional class, we are going alright

I really like Terlich, but he is defensively lacking. Has to first and foremost shut down his opponent.

Very happy with our tackling. And Toumpas is having a good start.

winning clearances we just need to keep possession. Geelong set up for us to have the ball and play for a turnover.

We need to work hard an keep the ball. Uncontested possession chains are required and so far non existent.

good tackle by watts. All our forwards will struggle today. It won't all be his fault but with the poor quality of our inside 50's I bet Fitz doesn't get a touch and is subbed for blease.

When are we going get in the front of a contest? If we focus on that for this quarter it will make a huge difference.

That's what I said in the Terlich thread and got howled down by the clueless.

One on one,he's very poor,looks like Murdoch will kick 4 on him as Brandon Jack did last week.

I like his attitude and hardness at the contest but he must beat his opponent first and foremost.

Oh god..the commentary.

King: "I just love the way Geelong blah blah blah.."

Dwayne: "Premiership defender David King there."

McGuire: "<insert incredibly condescending comment about 'the Melbourne team'>"

Dwayne:"<insert equally condescending and crap joke about how bad Melbourne are>"

Dunstall: "At least they are matching the Cats in inside 50s.."

Dwayne: "Coleman medallist and premiership player Jason Dunstall.."

Make it stop. Please make it stop.

Toump looking good. Bit unlucky bit hopefully they stick it at. Geelong in 2nd gear.

Toss up between Dunn (why punch it back in to the corridor? Not going up for a spoil!) and Kent (how does he get a game???) for the worst players I have ever seen.

Toumpas is playing well. Looks a bit quicker than previous weeks.

Kent is a footballer. Reads it well. Still dont think he our Toumpas should be getting games yet, but thats the situation we are in.

Dunn...... please....

I reckon we're unlucky to be so far down.

I'd agree, 3 of their goals were "lucky bounces", but they have been much better with uncontested disposal and work rate to retain the ball.

    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
