Good opening half in a pretty ugly affair.

Plenty to like from the boys and, apart from clearances, we well and truly have them covered. We need to come out in the third term and put them away.

I have a feeling we'll win

This inevitably means we'll lose by 10 goals and Melbourne supporters will be on suicide watch again this week

especially since the Suns lost again. lets see how the Lions go today?

Harmes looks like a solid player

Id sub in ANB for Lumumba or JKH sooner rather than later

Keep it going Dees

Surprised JKH didnt get subbed half way through the quarter

Sub him late in the third or at the start of the 4th. We are well in front, no need to sub him too early on for a player to go down injured.

They're walking away from the clearances... Hope we can keep that under control in the second half

Don't write off Brisbane just yet. They're doing well at stoppages and out tackling us. If they can straighten up and be more coherent going forward, they'll turn it on.

Must keep applying same level of pressure behind the ball like we have been. Too much space in the middle and they'll easily outrun us and get on a roll.

Hope Aish is getting a good look at the workload needed when he joins the dees next year

He is starting to do a few good things, and a too early sub is pretty risky.

Just saw the Harmes McDonald goal

Great stuff

Harmes grabbing his chance. Very smart play

Never took his eyes off the ball

Where is the Prince? Three possessions!

They were always going to do that with their midfield. As has been their problem all year they literally have nothing going forward, so as long as we pressure them they will find it very hard to score.

Plus we have a few mids who can lift as well in that area in the second half.

JKH responded well to that dropped mark which almost cost us a goal. He's still a depth player, nothing more. Only in the side because Kent isn't. Still, I'm glad he took the game on after an embarrassing brain fart. He [censored] himself at that contest.

Nah. Got to give him a chance. Give him a spray at half time and see how he responds.

No point wasting the sub that early

dont agree on this one, its gonna blow out big time

I know he hasn't done a lot today, but I rate him. I wonder what he'd cost (pick wise)?

Posted

Must play a solid 4 quarters, means nothing if we let them back in 2nd half

Posted

Low quality game which we are dominating

Better use of the footy going forward would be nice.

Yeah, some of those fwd 50 entries early in the first had me tearing my hair out.

Where is the Prince? Three possessions!

Still three more than Mitch got this weekend.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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
