I think Watts and Hogan have been ok with limited opportunities since 1/2 time. Salem has also done ok.[/quote Watch it again later and watch Watts' loping around, not chasing, not manning up at all. Salem the only real trier in the second half. Last week was a fluke. This is the real deal. Mind you the home ground, home crowd advantage and the lack thereof away from home has a definite effect on our players' weak combined psyche.

It was actually 14 from the end of the 2nd to the start of the 4th.

If the game had started then we'd be 84 points down. Without a goal.

Has to rival some of the recent floggings we've had for our worst performance in recent memory. Sounds hyperbolic, but we have almost no injuries to speak of, we were coming off one of the highest highs we've had in 10 years, GWS struggled to beat St Kilda last week, and we kicked 7 of the first 8 goals of the game.

Anyone know a good TV show worth watching?

Game of Thrones starts again this week...the final episode of Justified, it's been a great show. 6 seasons should take up some time.

At least Salem has stood up today and had a great game in defense. A few others with him but mainly passengers the whole lot - have any of our leaders played well?

JKH should have stayed in the team

Dawes should have earned his spot at Casey

Too top heavy today as some predicted after team selection

Dawes is awful.

Hogan just cracked it at Jamar for the delivery.

Garland Frost Howe Jetta 4 tackles between them

Pretty bad for a defensive unit...

Highest score GWS has ever got in a half of footy. Where is this Paul Roos defensive game

FMD. I checked the scores at half time at work and thought it was good. I get home and see this shite. What the hell happened?

I guess you could say the match has been "Melbourne'd".

Please.

Culturally, I stand by my opinion that Roos made a really counter-productive and culture hurting decision to change a winning team. This is a psychological defeat more than a physical one.

Dawes didn't even play reserves last week and should never have come straight back in.

Dawes blocked Hogan from the marking contest and doesn't even go for it himself

McDonald, Jetta, Salem our best

Tyson, Hogan, Watts good in the 1st half. Unseen in the 2nd.

Jones, Tyson, Vince, Dunn, Howe, Lumumba, Jamar all very disappointing.

We are a long way off. Still.

The entire side's been unseen in the second half.

At least Tyson, Hogan and Watts did something for a half.

Who is Jetta playing on? Has he taken someone out of the game? Not sure how else he registers in your best.

    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
