Disagree on Grimes, always gives his all but he was a liability at times today. Otherwise, pretty much spot on. You can bet your bottom dollar that every game we win under Roos will have everyone playing their part. A gun coach.

One bad clanger does not make him a liability.

I thought Salem struggled a bit in his first full game today. Eight possessions, He got caught twice in tackles when I thought he would sense the player coming behind him. Got pinged on the second one which was appalling umpiring but I expected him to slip that tackle. Anyway early days, probably struggling for fitness levels at this stage.

Grimes should not be taking kickouts, nor should he be used as a short target when someone else takes one. His kicking just isn't suited to that situation. He seems to be better in general play than he is with those spot kicks.

Got pinged twice, incorrect call on both occasions. I think he may have run over that Umpire's cat.

My main point was I thought he would be able to slip both tackles but he kept running in a straight line and got caught.

No duds today!

Bitter, this is the difference. We have had some players this year to have shockers, but in the main we are producing an even spread of team football across the 22.

Not sure why you bother.

Writing toumpas off after a bit over season, McDonald just 21, jones in his second season, Terlich in his second full season.

Amazing.....

10 Rounds, what about the last 50 years ?? I'll give you the fact that yes, some duds have been very very good .. But after 50 years how's your patience,??

I don't think we were lucky today. We deserved to win.

I would suggest some of our players didn't have a great day but here's the thing.... In the past we had a whole lot of players who were poor...actually liabilities. Today Salem was quiet as was bail but neither were poor or a negative to the team just little impact.

I don't think anyone here is saying finals ... Just enjoying the win..

That's my say.

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.

    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
