Is that bald [censored] Nicholls for real? Bloody rude [censored], respect needs to go both ways. Who the fark does he think he is.

And please, get rid of Oscar Mcdonald.

Have to hit a target going forward and, in contrast, just have to stop them getting out of the back and getting easy looks.

Where have I heard that before??

Again.. an oppositions spread is beating us. 

They look more hungry at the contest.

We look slow compared to one of the slowest teams in the Comp. Our "improvement" is glacial at best. 

Who, if anyone will stand up as we are being belted at this point and it is terrible to watch... Again... Ffs again.

We are playing some dumb football. Getting murdered on the counterattack. Forward 50 entries are a joke. Signs are not great. 

Lucky to only be 2 goals down.

They're structures are just better. The game is being played in the corridor and we've had heaps of chances, but butchered them. They're running it right up the middle and catching us out the back.

Teams know how to beat us: in transition, spread, in space, out the back. Put enough pressure on and we'll buckle.

Terrible.

Watts couple of mistakes early letss see how he responds

That was utterly disgraceful. The ball use, the overuse. We gave them a sniff. They didn't touch it for the first 10 minutes and we butchered the ball.

OK. This is one for those who know about footy. Why do we get killed out the back this year. I know we press but that isn't enough. We must be not doing things...

Horrible first quarter. My God we look slow - Jeffy should have played. The worst part is the million kicks into forward 50 straight to a Pies player.

Can't name one performing demons player at the moment

Vince, Jones and Tyson again. Vince has been good, at least he's going after it.

And Hunt is trying his nuts off.

Jones and Vince are the main culprits in butchering the footy. Not good enough at all.

Delivery into forward line sucks (again!!!) and causes the goals out the back to them.

Ho hum....

TMac off for the last 5-10 minutes. Any word why?

Seems ok to me and I sit near the bench. 

Tyson was doing shuttle runs on the boundary for the last few minutes too.

Butchering the ball, missing easy (and not so easy) shots. None of this is helping, but then creates a turnover, with predictable results.

More than anything, this is a team that needs a season or two of just playing together, so they're all on the same page, and they know who's going to do what and run where.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
