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.

Lynden Dunn is an absoluter joke

he should have been delisted 4 years ago but here he is, still in our starting 18

Worst player i have ever seen

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.

Posted

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.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
