If you're happy with that first half effort then I bet you're lobbying hard for Neeld to be our coach next year.

You've found me out, stu. I'm getting the campaign rolling as we speak, starting with a facebook page.

You've found me out, stu. I'm getting the campaign rolling as we speak, starting with a facebook page.

Can I suggest a campaign slogan: "Relax, Neeld's got this".

People having a go at any of our forwards should suspend themselves from posting for at least the rest of the day. Essentially the whole game has been played in their half.

We should be more worried about the fact we have barely made any adjustments to our style despite the weather. Unbelievable.

Toumpas has played really well, this kid is having a real dip.

Best game for Jimmy.

I'd like to know the free kick count?

20-12

Posted

Only two less contested disposals, 17 less overall and 100 tackles.

All three of these areas we would be significantly behind opposition sides in the first half of the year. Need to clean up turnovers and improve our ball use around half forward going forward.

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

He is sitting third in our disposal count. Yeah he isn't Joel Selwood but he hasn't had a horrid day compared to everyone else out there.

Don't think you can read too much into stats today given the conditions and the efficiency of our opponents.

Been disappointed with Neil Craig today, very few adjustments, poor setup, no attack, and the effort in the first half was quite poor.

Especially when they don't back up your arguments.

You would see two VERY different games today if you were choosing between watching the game and watching the stats.

I said I'd be ok with a 10 goal loss. We just went over that.

We'd have lost by twice as much under Neeld.

This is the toughest game most teams play all year. That we have to do it in Geelong every year is a downright disgrace.

We fought, we lost, we move on.

I've seen worse. Much much worse.

It must be that everyone is watching the stats except you, eh Stu?

I really am tired of [censored] commentators mocking this club. Laughing at the stats.

Had the tele on mute since half time.

Posted

A tense last few minutes though.

I had a carton bet with a mate that we'd keep the Cats under 100 points.

Time to blow the froth off one.

Posted

If there's one person in the whole league that I cannot wait to see the back of, it's Johnson. Smug pr*ck.

He attacks the ball....he can be smug!

Selwood - 124 wins from 150 games.

Sylvia - 150 games...how many wins?

Posted

We officially hold the record for the least inside 50's ever. 19 we had today for the whole game. No wonder our forwards couldnt get it.

Anyway we lost to a formidable team and a team like geelong should thrash a team like us. At least it wasnt 100 points.

    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 Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
