Was tonights game (North v Doggies) a comedy of errors or what?

I have never seen so many unforced turnovers in 1 game ever. They won't be up there for long bringing this rubbish  time for us to swoop?

YES.

People on here talking about winning 5 in a row, players talking about finals, the over-hyping of Truck's debut. Spelled trouble from the start. Excuses will include a short turnaround, inexperience, Etihad, blah, blah, blah, but again its COMPLACENCY. It's time to grow up and pull the proverbial head out of the backside. So, so disappointing but all too familiar.

I said pre-game this had a loss written all over it, but the recent Melbourne had me believe it wouldn't be the same.

Unfortunately, I've been let down. Again.

Really, really disappointed.

I've never seen so many goals kicked with 3,4,5 forwards on 1 defender. I'm not sure whether there's something wrong with the plan or the application. I reckon it's probably the latter. 

Hopefully the boys bounce back next week.

Aside from Jones, Viney and Hogan, not a single other player has won his position.

Doesn't surprise me too much. We still are amazingly immature.
Note to MFC and it's players: the next time you win a game (consecutive games), shut the hell up and just play.

The lads at Casey who have been struggling to get in should go in to tomorrow's game slobbering like hyenas. There are spots ripe for the picking.

What the [censored] happens in the space of 5 days that turns our small forwards to rubbish? Was this coaching from Richo?! I don't get it at all.

If they were tired with the short break, something plenty of posters here raised during the week, how the hell did the selectors not see fit to make changes? Wagner and Hunt were never going to keep up great form for extended patches, adding a zero gamer to that list was a disaster in the end.

We desperately needed Oliver and, frankly, he deserved a spot in the team more than Petracca (as did several others, to be honest). If Petracca got given his first game because we wanted to attract a larger crowd to Shitihad, it was a shameful decision.

This is what JV is quoted as having said;  "If we can keep the team consistently performing how we are, I don't think it's unrealistic we find ourselves in finals at the end of the year."

Please read and disagree directly with this statement before citing Jack's comments as contributing to this loss.

Sam Frost is special, and not in a good way.

Like a baby giraffe. And also not in a good way. 

Pedersen is that much more useful it's a joke. Can't play them both. 

Also Wagner, Hunt, Harmes, Bugg, Kennedy, Petracca... Way too many too inexperienced and/or NQRs in the one team for me. It's bad enough we need to put up with Roos' favourite Lumumba every week, and the yo-yoing performances of Tyson, McDonald, Salem and Kent.

I haven't been able to watch the game today and suspect I won't, but on the basic stats alone I suspect it won't be too hard to find room for ANB, Brayshaw, Oliver and/or Trengove.

Kent's had 8 touches after 25 last week and 21 the week before. Has Frost touched the ball since quarter time?

I find it difficult to fathom how we could be getting ahead of ourselves merely a month after the Essendon debacle.

I also don't want to let myself believe that we debuted Petracca earlier than his form warranted because we wanted to pull a crowd to a home game. That's the MFC of 2009, should not be the MFC of 2016.

Please, please, please let Gold Coast go in as short favourites next week. I never want this club to be favourites ever again, ever. If we ever are, I'll bet my life savings against us and retire a happy man.

    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)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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
