My patience with Howe is running very, very low. Have kept my eye on him the whole game - refuses to run, shepherd, and basically put in full stop.

We're blinded with his ability to mark. Apart from that what else does he do?

Nothing

His pressure is worse than Watts

We are 5 goals down. If Howe kicked those two that is 3 goals. Umpiring has got them at least 4 goals either directly from free kicks that weren't there or from an inside 50 resulting from a free kick that wasn't there.

We aren't playing well enough to be in the game but we should be based on those numbers.

Bog challenge for the boys in the second half: hold out together and dint get blown away.

Also fingers crossed for Viney getting to 30 touches. Might be our first player this year to do so!

Calling it right now - Jack Viney will never be 'Melbourned'.

Kid is a gun. His attack on the ball is Selwood-like.

Makes Selwood look like a sissy!

I am the game today taking great pleasure out of the fact at least a 6-12 of these useless bastards won't be wearing red and blue in our first home game in 2014.

Byrnes being one definitely

He is being played out of position, for those who thought he should be deep forward now you see why he shouldn't.

He needs space to move around and up the ground, high hf to wing.

Trade him to north for Levi Greenwood - 38 touches yesterday.

Don't think it's been mentioned, but Jordie is killing Fyfe

Good effort and contested work that qtr. Viney, Spencer and Dunn all excellent with some good play from Silvia and Kent.

Well said - Jack represents everything Melbourne should stand for.

Shannon Bynes FFS!! Was he a good goal kick at Geelong?

They called him the leprechaun for a good reason!

He waits at the end of the rainbow (goal square) for a pot of gold (ball) to fall into his hands.

Anywhere else and he is stumped!

Has anyone else at the game noticed Sylvia going off at Watts..... I've seen 3 separate occasions where jack should have passed to Sylvia and chose otherwise. Col was pretty demonstrative on each occasion!

Sylvia is maybe seeing a bit of his old self in Watts and is trying to fire him up?

As for Sylvia - I think he is the most unfairly treated player on demonland. Has been very consistent this year!

Agree entirely although Dunn would be up there with unfairly treated players

And Col's never done anything like that himself?

Any chance we can do a Frankenstein and transplant the skills/finish side of Watt's brain into Col's bod?

Sylvia is an amazing kick!

Terlich is far too loose, Balantyne is all over him. Can't kick....or find a target....not up to AFL standard .

Give him a break. Its his first year.

    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.

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
