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.

Paul Roos has taken 23 players up to the national capital today, the majority of who were not on the club's primary list when he was appointed as coach of the club late in 2013. I'm counting the elev

Apparently the Scully family will be sitting in the Eastern Grandstand today. They managed to book it early so all six of them should be able to squeeze in.

This has not been as enjoyable as last week.

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.

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".

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
