Umm why didn't Toumpas handball it straight away when he had 2 players in the clear?

Jesus that was dumb

69 to 54 in our favour.

24 minutes into the final quarter.

Should win but we're doing our best to lose it. This is a Casey Scorpions-esque capitulation.

The Scorps had a good win today, with Cam Pedersen starring

Holy [censored], a siren. I can't believe it, we won?

What a disgraceful second half. Hang your heads in shame boys, [censored] pathetic.

Such a typical Melbourne performance

We have to learn to play 4 quarters. FFS we just stopped in the second half. It's not acceptable.

But no injuries it seems so we'll take it and move on.

booo boo boo shocking performance

Im at ground and I could see this happening at half time sure we won but won what, nothing in my eyes we were terrible if dogs had half there players they would have smashed us, we are way off and I will stick with my bottom 4 prediction

If that's the best we can do ... lets look forward to another wooden spoon ...

I Hate following this team ... they build you up just to rip your heart out.

Well I flicked on when I saw the score of us being 40 something points up, the moment I switch on we played like, well, us!

Worrying lack of leadership when the s--- hit the fan. Lumumba showed a bit in the last quarter in the middle, but very bad decision making is still something we need to work on.

Anyway, hopefully Roos gets something out of it but jeez we're still a long way off the pace.

Hope Roos sprays them after that second half. If the first half was any indication, then we should've won by 80+

Story of the game -

We had 400 disposals to less than 250.

But about the same number of contested posessions, and clearances.

11 players with 8 or more marks, all of them along half-back or midfield.

While the Bulldogs were in disarray and let us have time and space to work a precision-kicking game, it worked wonders.

Once they got their tails up and started closing down our movement into half-forward, the rebounds really hurt us, and we clearly got complacent about fighting out the defensive side. Too many were caught running to where they hoped the ball would be.

Very disappointing second half, for sure, but I really hope our players are coaches are a little bit more resilient than the Sookscapade Spectactular going on here!

None of these guys offer enough at AFL level. None of them. I'll be very surprised to see any of them in the side for Round 1.

We've got other players who do offer enough at AFL level but they all have kicking weaknesses too.

It's far too many players. We don't have enough quality kickers and it continues to kill us.

Sorry nothing wrong with a Grimes game today. Agree with the others.

    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.
