Proven right today. So many non-perceptive fans with their blinkers on in this forum who couldn't see how St Kilda's winning performances were a more mature brand of football than ours.

Nope we're not good enough when it matters. If Wagner, OMac, Hunt, Brayshaw, petracca, Harmes, White, etc stick around and play 30 games together they'll get there.

We've been outcoached today.  Simple as that.  After quarter time they shut down our half back line and stopped our half forwards from being damaging as well.

Plus it doesn't help when you kick long to the wing so they can pick it off easily.

Again, they have a system at stoppages.

We have British Bulldogs

That last passage of play was frighteningly bad

yes and two of their better performers have been Roo and Joey.  Will be so happy when these two retire.

They play one on one when we have the ball... There is no zone. Then they work their ass off the other way

We need a game-day tactician on the coaching panel.

We have no system at stoppages. Gawn just hits it & 3 dive on the ball. That's not a system.

Every other team has a system. One goes for the ball, the other two wait for the give.

Dumb.

This is a team we should beat every time.

Why should we beat them every time? They're a better team than us by every measure. This idea that we're better than St. Kilda is just delusional. Please tell me how you work it out?

We are not better than the Saints, Melbourne fans need to stop saying that we are. BUT we should be at least close to on par and therefor we should be at least winning close to 50%, the fact we aren't shows a massive mental weakness.

Yes, but is it a workable game plan going forward - i.e. do you think they'll be winning finals games with that plan in the next couple of years?

Love Jack  Grimes but think game    100 will be his last

Would be nice to play this mob of [censored] on the MCG in Winter next year... Soft pricks can keep your indoor arena!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
