  All of those ready to throw the towel in - a little perspective please, it is only NAB.  We are competing well despite missing our strongest mids, away, against a team that played last week AND the game is far from over.....

 

Pfft .... Same sheet , different year.

What annoys me is how we are able to steady the scoring rate for a period of time, then the wall just collapses and the opposition get very quick consecutive goals. It just kills our momentum.

We seem to find it very hard to score, whereas the opposition do it in a cakewalk.

what I don't like:

our disposal

our forward line structure and entries

brayshaw's knee

our recruits (bugg, Kennedy?) too eary to call obviously 

our composure

tyson's "composure"

You can tell that before half time of our first NAB cup game? Take a breath bra.

Been watching us for a long time bra and I can tell.
There might be a little improvement but its tiny.

Not actually that bad, defensively we have been pretty poor, but expect come game day next year we would clog the ground up a lot more. Posters want a more open and attacking game style and the result of this will be more goals against when it doesn't work. 

Looks like we are often standing in front of our opponents and therefore we are losing ground to opponents and they are getting out behind us. 

Gawn looks to be dominating the ruck

watts has looked good

oliver very promising 

both McDonald's look lost

dont think Hunt has had any of the footy but competing well in one v ones

Pederson < Dawes in providing an option up the field for team mates

Overall panicky and slow

Agree.  Never seen Frost do anything really and Kennedy looks VFL standard.

But Max, Clarrie, Hoges and some others going alright.  Early days.  Hope AB injury is not season ending cos we will really need him.

Kennedy has a panic attack every time he goes near the ball, keep him at Casey please.

Oliver looks great.

Few people need to chill out its pre season.

IF we still see this after a few rounds of the season then panic

Viney with 16 disposals at the half my word gonna have a cracker of a year

    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.
