Watch the replay because I remember thinking Toump is getting to the contests and helping out as a junior player should. After the replay I have no idea what game people have been watching. It is the

Watts come on, was able to immediately get involved, and the flow of the game changed. I understand he was coming off a poor 3 weeks, his confidence shot, but we simply can't afford not to have him in

There was only about 25000 there tonight and im tipping a fair few of those who are posting on here were watching from the comfort of their couches. An issue for another day but poor turnout by YOU.

Established or experienced players who had very little impact ...

  • Dawes
  • Watts
  • Pedersen
  • Howe
  • Garland

Other established or experienced players who are still down on their best and/or need to do more ...

  • Dunn
  • Vince
  • N Jones
  • Tyson
  • Lumumba

We need a greater impact from all 10 of the above players - we cannot hope to win games unless that happens. They should be leading the way and they aren't. The possession count by a few of the aforementioned 10 players was quite flattering.

'Ok' or 'Alright' doesn't cut it. The Swans were in cruise mode after half time.

Is it time to talk number 1 draft pick and priority picks again because we are going to be very close to the bottom once again - especially considering Caseys woeful performance

Hogan was lazy in the first half. Possibly carrying an injury. Spencer, Brayshaw, Cross, Dawes, Tommy and Stretch all earned their place. Garlett and Hogan did some good things, but just about everyone else was putrid.

The bAll was nowhere near Hogan in the first half. He contested brilliantly and was the standout player with Salem.

Forward line is good, defence (I feel for those poor buggers and Jetta isn't playing) same. Midfield is the problem. Surprise!

Spot on. Get rid of Howe as far as I'm concerned. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Such a one trick pony.

And we were offered pick 7 for him by GWS

We would have made out like bandits in that trade and could have drafted a midfielder

I'd like to see some of our mids play in front for a change. Tyson needs a spell, he's obviously carrying something, bring in Pig Dog to cut sick in the middle. I'd chuck Vanders in there more often too. Love Bernie, but christ i'm sick of him grabbing it and slamming it on the boot to nobody. Why is that we seem to be the only AFL club that can't spread from a congested situation through precise handball. Every other team does it with ease.

great post. couldn't agree more.

Heard on the radio that the Hawks have approached Christian Petracca......

A disgrace if true and should be completely against the rules

They have won the last 2 flags and are now trying to steal a kid we took at pick 2 just 7 months ago, [censored] me dead I am almost over the AFL

We continually commit suicide with our shots on goal (set shots & running) that just kill any momentum we could get going. Frustrating crap for a supporter. We are so inept as a team. Only rarely do we get teased with some teamwork and a win. Just another disappointing day watching my team play crap footy. Great game tmac , well done billyS , a solid debut. Hoges dos'nt stop trying, matter of fact I think all the boys toiled away, we r just so far off the pace. More pain too come I fear, effort is all I want out off the list we have. More list building needed, stating the bloody obvious. Bugga we are still shyte.

Agree....but, if we don't improve soon, we're going to lose more than CP....

A number of times he was caught behind. He contested well on a couple of occasions, but Brayshaw and Spencer were the stand outs for me.

Our lack of spread and general work rate was the most frustrating and disgraceful aspect of tonight's game. Our forwards and backs did reasonably well, but every time Salem looked up off half back he had absolutely no one to kick to. No pride in the Melbourne jumper at all.

...? Really?

I was referring to the first half with Hogan. Particularly the first quarter. He was good in the second half, particularly being double teamed a number of times. I was disappointed by his first half though.

And thankfully it's a problem that I think we can solve. If we play our cards right I think we can land a ruckman via trade over the off season who will be an instant upgrade on what we have.

I still like to think Gawn can turn into that player somewhat, but his time is running out.

You should have watched Gawn on TV today playing VFL. Worse than useless.

FFS Watts was the sub, he came on and set up 2 goals. He was clean. Harsh to include him

Equalisation? It's a joke.

For you you SWYL.

Not surprisingly, I'm not real worried about the outcome.

The only good news in recent time is PJ committing for another 12 months - he will be important in getting the young ones to commit.

Currently we are being let down by our more experienced players.The recent draftees have been good but not receiving much support.

Spencer's about as athletic as Andre. And i wouldn't call him athletic.....

I think Spencil has a dip but his athleticism is more along the lines of the Shockmaster's 'explosive' entrance.

    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

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
