100 points today, when you can't execute the basic fundamentals of the game, fans have every reason to switch off. I just can't understand how any afl footballer can get a game if they can't kick, how do you get drafted if you can't kick.

Nathan Jones has no defensive bone in his body, he is reminding me of Moloney, do what he wants and always 5-10m off his man

They've kicked a goal in the opening 30 seconds.

So much of this game is about desire, why is it that even after 7 years of re-building, we still have so many players who pick and choose when to put in?

any idea what happened to him?

Hamstring...Stretch now on.

This game is like a death of a thousand cuts...

Any chance we can lay a tackle in the f50? Apparently 75% of he time we get it in there the Hawks get a goal. Wow. Just Wow.

What a stat What a bunch of lazy assed players we have.

Useless. Hardly takes skill to tackle. Its intent and desire. This team doesn't have it. CLean the list out again f&*&^ me

When's the draft?

I hear there's some gems at the top of the draft we'll have unrivalled access to: the next Toumpas, Watts, Scully... can't wait to see who we pick!

Can we FFS make a tackle stick?

They are treating us with absolute contempt. They know we are beneath them and are letting it show. No respect and the players don't seem to give a fuxc. Fly the flag Melbourne you're playing like a bunch of flowers, lift your heads and play like DEMONS!!!

Nathan Jones and Tyson disappointing yet again. They have both been well below their best all year.

Jones can't get away with just going through the motions anymore. He has failed to take his game to the next level.

Jones is being tackles before he's even got the footy - who from our side is going over to help out the captain with a chop out? They've got a hard tag on him and he's got no support whatsoever

We have no one dangerous in our forward 50 so the Hawks will pay them no respect and just back each other in the contest while the rest run off and create mayhem. Can only prevent this if ur forward 50 pressure is up to AFL standard. It's not.

Our boys off HB rarely pull the trigger inside either. Up the line is too easy for the Hawks (and most clubs) who will just spoil and back their ball/foot skills to run & spread the ball back inside thier 50 real quick for the high % scoring conversion when its mostly one on one

seriously interesting choice of words there. Sums up quite a bit of Demonland, I think. (not a good time to be making such an observation, I know...)

I would even accept one of our guys starting a fight.... even if we lost the fight, at least it means we would have tried.

    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
