our boys just don't play instinctive attacking footy....they don't back themselves from the get go and only start taking their opponents on and taking risks when the game is well and truly lost

Dawes marks turns outside instead of inside then proceeds to hack the ball forward to the advantage of them.... Fm he has no idea

When can we start questioning Roos' gameplan? Swans have been very average and our movement forward is as bad as I've seen.

Unaccountable football. We could have won this if we could actually generate some momentum. Swans put the cue in the rack at half time and we haven't done a thing to challenge them.

agree..they heed far too much a plan they cant employ and lack footy nouse.

It's funny, we actually have a forward line now, but we still can't score because the midfield persist in these ill-directed bombs rather than actual passes to the advantage of their forwards.

Watts came on as the sub and is just loping around.

Another poor sub selection. He should've had a full game at vfl level. Playing him as the sub has achieved nothing, just as when Neeld did it.

It's his incredible lack of effort that is just destroying to watch.

Hogan is just a star in the making. He reads the ball so well. And he can kick em from 50.

Sign him up please!!

30pts (5 in a row)

That scoreboard doesn't reflect the game.

Should have lost by 100 (swans given up)

@Young Dee Swans have been average. We could have won this

They have looked flat since the 2nd quarter and we did nothing to take advantage

Sydney didn't win this. We lost it.

Hogan, Salem, Stretch, Brayshaw, Tommy Mac.. at least there is something to build on.

God knows there is enough crap to be swept out (yet again) at years end.

A dozen players or more have had no impact.

Trying to find 6 good players is a fruitless exercise ... Salem & T-Mac have done well.

Our skills are deplorable

Give t-Mac a medal. Given the heat and who he was playing on that was one amazing game

If any SA side offers us anything better than a 3rd round pick for Toumpas - we'd be mad not to take it.

No club in their right minds would give us anything for Toumpas, he'll be playing SANFL next year.

Salem, TMac and H can walk of the ground knowing they tried.

So many players went missing

Our midfield sucks - Jones, Tyson and Vince need to lead the way

Don't know if I will bother next week

    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.

    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
