Damn, was a nice fightback but as usual we just got lazy and gave up cheap goals at the end

Come on boys dont stop now

Roos is right.

As soon as we stop playing as a team, start playing like buggered, unfit amateur footballers, it's unsurprising that the opposition gets on top.

Will be a battle of the fittest at the end.

I reckon we r cooked again.

We didn't score at all for the last 9min and as soon as Collingwood put the pressure on our disposal went to shitz.

I am conducting a little experiment today. I delayed watching the game on the box because the good lady was delayed getting home. We are about 1 quarter behind but I am reading the posts on here. I thought after post 247 we were about 60 points down judging by the comments. At the 14 minute mark of the game we are 1 point down in the 2nd quarter. Seriously people when Roos talks about mental scars I reckon he includes D'landers as well. We look good at the moment and reckon we will be in front by half time. Lets be a bit positive on here. In the terms of Donald Sutherland (dees just hit the front) in Kelly's Heroes "Enough with the negative vibes".

6 in a row against the filth. Where is my Red Wine waiter?

If we continue to let them play Oxley as a loose man in defense, we'll lose. We need Pig Dog to put a hard tag on Pendles until he can't run any more then sub him off and get Matt Jones to do the same. Pendlebury's tearing us a new one.

Gawn is having a big influence in the middle.

Sadly as soon as we get the ball we crap our pants. Big occasion getting to the players?

Brayshaw is the most composed out there and has the least experience. Go figure.

We put an extra down back and so did they. Difference is they can hit a target going forward and we just bomb it long to Hogan and 3 Collingwood defenders.

The bombing it long into the forward line is something I've almost managed to coach out of my Year 2 auskick side, Roosy and the gang persisting with it at AFL level though I see. FMD

We didn't play bad in last 9 minutes. The change was Oxley being spare man in defence.

Roos needs to man it up. We were on top last week until Port put Ebert back as spare

In the dying minutes of quarters, we need leaders to stand up.

Those two late goals were both caused by turnovers, both from Garland. The opposite of what we need.

I've had fun, that's what matters.

Give me some more in the 2nd half ya mugs.

Getting the Red wine googles on. Always looks better when I have them on. Are you suggesting that perhaps my positivity is misplaced (Elliot just goaled) B*gger!

Roos out coached badly half way through the second quarter. We had the momentum, Buckley put a spare back, Roos did nothing. Collingwood kick the next four goals. The spare man Oxley marked three kicks into our fifty.

Poor poor coaching.

Posted

Not getting enough from Riley, Newton or Pederson

Agreed, and there is room to improve. I thought Pedersen lifted in the second and Newton has laid 5 tackles to half time. They are contributing but need to do more in the second half for us to win.

Pedo has set up 2 goals!

If we can see that Oxley is killing us as a spare (and to quote Rowan Atkinson "I think we can...") then certainly roos and those in the box can too. So can some one who knows more about footy than I do they'll me why we don't make it one on one?

Garland is not having a good game at all. Poor decision making. Has had a kick smothered at least 4 times I reckon. Needs to find another way to go forward.

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
