Viney has had our most tackles with 6. 9 Swans players have had 6 or more. There's the game. Lacking serious leadership today. We just look keen to play the game out not actually do the extra to win it.

The rest are horrible.

Track has been good. Vince has been okay. And um....yeah.

It wouldn't be a Melbourne loss without a no name having a day out. Enter Dean Towers.

121-67 tackles

We just don't want it enough. Simple. Too many players hand balling to nothing under pressure, scared to go hard at the contest and are nowhere near their opponent. 

Disappointing that we didn't take our chances.

I've seen enough from Jack Watts this year to know that he really has turned a corner as a player. He has no right to be as clean as he was that quarter. I'm thrilled for him. He really tried to lift us.

Cant think of another midfield more suited to these conditions than the swans. We are trying hard but just lack the hard bodies and composure around the ball.

Must be happy to lose by 4-5 goals. Honorable loses are still some sort of win apparently.

Hunt sprints through the middle only to handball to bugg with an opponent hot on his heel...

Just dumb football club.

ever thought of maybe he had no one to kick it to?????

Can't imagine this going any way other than Sydney running out with a 6-7 goal last quarter . Those tackles, Melbourne would be sore and battered. Gonna be a long last quarter.

2 stats : marks and tackles. Means they're getting a lot of it without pressure, and we're just not up for the competitive physical game. Coupled with some phenomenally dumb football, it's a sorry sorry sight.

Sydney is beating us at the SCG!!

Mcveigh is getting a lot of the ball off half-back!!!

Who knew Watts was so good at wet weather footy. Was the same with the Hawks game. 

More often than not class prevails in the wet. Petracca makes it look easy at times as well. McVeigh, Ablett jr, Vince, all classy types, all good wet weather players.

I'd add Trac, Vince, Viney, Jones and possibly Watts.

The rest a horrible, especiallyKennedy, Stretch, and Jetta who should be getting much more of it in these conditions.

Also Dawes and Hogan have been very average up forward.

I dispute that. We have had a red hot go yet again, but been outclassed

Not adapting to conditions...simple really but as it's taken us nearly 3 years in the making to develop the current game plan it's difficult for young players to throw it out the window in the space of one game.

You know what GD, if you look at the Swans team, we really shouldn't be getting outclassed. They've got a hell of a lot of no names in that team tbh

People posting we don't want it enough, are you watching the game?

all I've seen us the players cracking in and putting their body on the line. 

Swans have bigger more experienced players. Invaluable when wet

That went the whole of 7 metres to Franklin. He then dictates to the umpire where the mark is who gets sucked in. 

*And a ridiculous free to Franklin.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
