wtf... no pride in the jumper

I flicked it over to the Richmond game and I turn it back and I've missed the first two minutes. In this time GWS have kicked two. What the hell happened?

Noi more excuses for Trengove

He has been pathetic again today, and he must dominate the last quarter or he can hand back his pay packet

Can you please be our coach. He listens to you.

I'm sticking to my guns here. Trengove's been good. Get off his back.

Without seriously watching it (and the Norf non-effort last week), just glimpses as it's just not worth the effort anymore, our opponents are in the clear by at least 3 to 4 meters almost every time they receive. Meaning they have ample time to make their next disposal/choice/option including kicking for goal. We just give them too much space to work in and don't pressure them out of it often enough. This gives our opponents too much possession early in the match and boosts their confidence ten fold from the get go.

Unable to close check an opponent when we don't have the ball means they are able to run it coast to coast either from the middle or from the kick out with little or no pressure. Not putting in the hard work early means we are chasing tail all day as well. Not in all cases i'm sure there are exceptions but too few to matter. Having too many slackers just deflates the others who are playing a close checking game and working hard to get their own possessions.

I'm not sure why so many are unwilling to close check an opponent once we lose possession (which is alot of the time given our woeful disposal) but those who are unwilling or incapable of doing so must be weeded out and delisted/traded pronto.

This could end up being up to 10 to 15 players off the current senior list but in the end this is reality for us right now.

From what i can garner Craig is pretty uninspiring in his match day selection and structure, as well as whatever it is he's preaching on game day.

I'd say the only chance this club has of ever becoming an AFL competitive football club from here is a new experienced premiership coach and a massive clean out of the present list while keeping a core (8 to 12 or so) who have shown they are willing, capable and/or have super potential to develop.

We really shouldn't have so obviously tanked to get our priority pick at the end of this year...

Playing like this, people will definitely get suspicious.

All over.....we suck......officially.

Grimes the turnover king.

Well we have officially hit rock bottom.

Congratulations Melbourne. Just when you don't think I could feel more disgusted at this club, here it is.

[censored] you Melbourne. Just [censored] you.

We're going to lose this now. We'll be the only team to lose to GWS this whole year. I think the 2013 Melbourne team is the worst I can remember watching play in decades. I'm ashamed to be a Melbourne supporter and member today. The club has failed, and even with AFL assistance we're going to struggle to be competitive, let alone win our next flag. I honestly thought 6 years ago when the rebuild had started that we were building towards out next flag and I'd finally get to see one in my life... how wrong I was. We are worse now than ever, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

I have lost all hope today and it's very depressing. How did this come to be?

It's quite sad how some of the supporters on here are blaming the umpires. The umps are the people who have kept this from a thrashing, not the players.

I am going to go back on the Kent comment though. Easily his best game. Cannot kick from a set shot though.

There is NO talk on the field.

No one is standing up and saying PUSH HARDER. all heads down.

Cowards with no honour.

Few can stand tall today.

Pathetic excuse for the word football and club today.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
