Last night, the wife and I had dinner with friends at the Railway Club Hotel Steakhouse in Port Melbourne. Apart from the fact that the food's great, the other benefit is that there are a number of te

I am a great Watts fan. Thing is, the conditions make no real difference, if you are committed. I once saw Robbie Flower best on the ground by daylight, against Essendon at Windy Hill in a day they

Preparing us for a "No Frawley" backline next year i would think WYL

Maybe Rusty. But the guy needs a change of scenery. Our backline has killed his spirit.

It's understandable.

Frawley had nothing open when looking inside 50. Last week he would have gone backwards, sideways. This week he went inside, which created a stoppage and that created Evans' shot.

Wind seems to have wrecked Fitzpatrick's and Evans' shots at goal. They're saying we have the wind though.

Another turnover, this time to Evans. Sounds like he's working hard, but skills letting him down.

New female goal umpire looks a good sort.

Where's Dean Kent?

Viney, Grimes and Kent haven't touched it (just one tackle between them overall).

Yep. I would have pulled the trigger on that move early last season. He's been pummelled from pillar to post. A change up just might work...for everyone

This is an extremely young team we're playing. Persistance and hard nose never say die footy will win this, subject to umpiring influence

Good to see the umpiring is at it's usually high standard...

Two crap teams get 3 crap umpires every week

Jack Grimes can't [censored] handball.

What is wrong with him! No composure

he is not big enough. Never has been. Gets pushed off balance too easily and has to hurry his possessions.

Viney being involved takes a heap of pressure of Cross, Jones and Vince...gives us another rotation to grind em down through the middle. The middle contest will determine this IMO

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time.

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
