You know that it is two sides near the bottom of the ladder when they are ringing up Ben Holland for an interview as part of the prematch build up. Melbourne look to end 2,864 day Etihad Stadium dro

No air in those handball - and often handballs players into trouble.. - J.Toumpas.

At least he's getting his hands on the ball.

FFS.

Had a cheeky hundred on Hogan to kick the first at $10.

Heading over next month for the game v. Bris. My shout with the winnings, we're we getting on it?!

On a side note, again the turnovers are killing us. We are better than the Saints.

Yeah im a big critic of Watts, but his first quarter showed how much more footy I.Q. he has than the bulk of his team mates. Kept us in it i thought. What a great kick he is. Toumpas can also be an excellent kick.... he should be instructed NEVER to handball simply because he cant.

I hate it as well but to be fair Viney also does this and has had a few more games. Not many highlight Viney as often but he can also be handball happy and can not only hand out hospitals but also occasionaly gives or hands it straight to the opponent.

We have alot of areas that need fixing in general play though.

Great example is just using their brain eg, Dont go 2nd 3rd up in a marking contest if u see a solid tall in good position to mark. We do this far too often allowing opponents to gather the spilled ball and run off or kick a goal round the corner etc

Toumpas has no idea

Is it not possible for people to look at the entirety of a player's game, and not just the fault/errors?

7 possessions, 2 tackles and a mark. There are a LOT of Melbourne players nowhere near that at quarter time.

    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.

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)

    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
