In my hotel room in Amsterdam hitting refresh on my phone because I can't get the game up to watch. Looks like it might be a safer option to head off for a choof this arvo.

That was the worst half of football for sometime. Matched anything in 2014 and possibly 2013. Absolutely pathetic.

1.3 to half time. Yep, we sure know how to play. Even Victory kicked more goals in a half than we have. FMD.

I feel that Toumpas is a confidence player, not getting that free for high when it was so obvious in the 1st quarter has gotten to him. Not good enough but...

well then he has got a pathetic rubbish attitude

Fcuk him off. Had enough of these slim hipped nancies representing my club...

Swans are 2 players down and are coming off a slog.last week. They are destroying us. But it's also a matter of us playing awful, accountable, selfish and lazy football.

Swans will win by 10 goals. At least.

simply not running hard enough, not creating the options, causing indecision, and in turn skill errors and turn overs.

One of the worst halves I've seen from this club

Toumpas has been alright. Our midfield has played like a third world midfield.

Defensively i don't think we've been bad. I know we make skill errors etc that cost is in defence but we are manning up well, protecting space etc.

What we aren't doing is attacking well. We aren't rubbing for each other, creating space or leading.

Think I should probably switch it off, this isn't shaping up very nicely at all.

Toump is probably our hardest working player from what I can see, and his touches have been classy but the whole team needs to get involved, I'd rather see blokes get reported for going to hard than soft half ass efforts

It is a third world midfield. I don't get how anyone could fail to understand that.

Garlett and JKH - 1 possession each

Way to go fellas

Jack Watts - half time and not even a stat. Show some heart, at least give away a free!

A lot of football 101 errors in the first half. This doesn't give some of our actually talented kids a chance to show what they may have. Even Lumumba struggles to look more than pedestrian with us because he never gets a chance to play to his strengths which has something to do with time and space and run. How do we expect the kids to do anything? Some of our experienced guys have been average at best.

Is it too early to bring on Watts? LOL.

I get what Roos is trying to achieve, but surely there is a better way of going about it.

I would hate for his ego to get in the way of him willing to change some of his plans, in order to achieve a better result. Doing something over and over again, expecting a different result is the epitome of stupidity (especially with some of the coconuts we have playing for us at the moment).

That's me out. Despite all my optimism, it's time to concede. We are way below AFL standard. I can't keep doing this to myself. I need a break.

No confidence in anything were doing. So slow trying to move it out of half back no movement forward of the ball.

At the game and this is hard to watch live.

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.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
