Sam Frost looks incredible. He and Newton look like inspired pick ups.

Loving what Toump is doing out there today.

Hard to know what to take away from this. We are not being challenged at all. I can't imagine this is doing the Bulldogs preparation any good either.

At least we're thrashing them when we should be.

Don't let the score fool you, Melbourne's ball use and decision making has been terrible.

This Bulldogs team is simply far worse.

Very harsh call. The ball use has been solid overall.

Good god the commentary is killing me already.

I'm normally not one to take much notice or comment on the commentary but it's awful haha.

Pickering is one depressing individual.

Will wait until they do it in the real stuff before declaring it official, but Roos looks to have cleaned up again during trade week. Frost and Garlett in particular have been great!

Frosty is a monty for round one.

I'm also loving how Garlett and Lumumba are fitting into the side.....real contributors all three of them.

Reminds me of training thursday , overall a good performance with some errors . i reckon our defensive players in the drills put more pressure on the the dogs today . good signs !

Half time

8 4 52

1 1 7

Chicken BLT got a bit of it early, but Southwest Chicken finished all over the top of it. My money is on a couple of Big Macs and a 20 pack of nuggets getting a lift back down the highway on the Hutchy express.

Apart from that, Salem, Garlett, JKH, Hogan, N Jones are killing it.

I know 2 of these Bulldogs players so I think I'm more qualified to commentate.

Garland's been pretty good.

Better than good - like Garland of 2013...

Who are the Dogs missing besides Libba, Boyd and a decrepit Murphy?

Its not like we don't have anyone out - Howe, Vince and Petracca for starters

Posted

Love seeing The Toump and Salem rack up some possies, very neat and composed kicking from both of them. Grimes also looking good today - this might be a good confidence boosting game for quite a few of our players.

What's a bunch of sad sacks

We are winning and winning well

Regardless of the opposition, good teams always take an opportunity for a kill, and this is wonderful for our confidence.

Stop worrying about the opposition and enjoy it. It might be the best win we have all year.

Given the weight of possession, and the almost witches-hats-esque team the dogs have on the park, seven goals in a half isn't that great, really. But the longer this goes, the more practice we're getting moving the ball inside fifty with purpose and with good foot skills. Still some pretty wonky entries, but there were a few that quarter that were lovely to watch.

JKH still looks a bit rusty, but is working his way into it. Great effort on the deck to get the ball to Frost for that goal.

Salem and Toumpas (and the defence as a whole) will be getting a lot of confidence from this.

We look balanced. Not great, but with a team full of players that want to play their role.

It's been a while since I've seen this

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
