Our lack of run and pressure allowed the good Norfolk to emerge. Brisbane are fierce at the contest with a superior work rate.

I do not rate him as a coach/manager at all. He never looks like he's in control, and I think he's part of the reason they are so erratic.

I hate North Melbourne with a passion, and the fact that they just lost to Brisbane makes me hate them even more. They're crap, obnoxious and STILL manage to beat us regularly.

Wow does that suck.

I think we can talk about how bad our drafting/trading has been for ever and a day but really we all know how pathetic we have been and what's the point.

We can't change it and it's just getting really tiresome.

Don't get me wrong dd I'm not having a go at u (& I am guilty of it too) but I am over ALL our bad draft decisions.

It's in the past and can not be changed.

We r now in 2014 have a new regime in charge and for the first time in a long time I have complete faith in their ability.

IMO it's time for all of us to move on.

We are a bottom four side. That is now obvious.

Yes there has been improvement but in 2012-13 we were sitting outside the AFL Comp.

Beat the Westies at Etithing and i could change my thinking.

how was brad scott avoiding the question when asked what he said to Rockcliff. That was crap when he said he was congratulating him and some others.

Did it during Brown's speech too, his old teammate.

I hope Rockliff makes it known what was actually said. Brad Scott couldn't be a more detestable bloke.

This might be a weird question, but does anyone else think that Tippett may be in a bit of trouble (or get points) from the MRP?

He deliberately stuck his leg/knee out and collected Shaw in the head. How is this any different than if someone chose to hip'n'shoulder but made contact with the oppositions head?

Pretty much sums it up I think, based on form it's the only conclusion

I think no surely you have the right to protect yourself from an on coming charge but then again we have the MRP.

Beat me to it. What exactly was Neeld's philosophy, other than pissing everyone off?

It would be interesting were he wearing the red n blue - the MRP seem to find it amusing to try new stuff out on us.

Brad Scott - once a bully always a bully.

He will never admit (or even get) that he was way out of line. At most he will make a joke of it.

Well done Tom Rockliff for defusing the situation.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were on hand at Monday morning's preseason training at Gosch's Paddock to bring you their brief observations of the session. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Gentle flush session at Gosch's this morning. Absent: May, Pickett (All Stars) McVee, McAdam. 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
