We just can't buy a goal, and every time we do Carlton go straight back down the other end and score one.

Lazy, leaderless, unaccountable footy. Not one player standing up.

I was fuming when I saw Pederson had been dropped, our entire forward structure has fallen apart today and Weideman simply wasn't the right man to come in for him.

Agreed .... Playing a baby to win a crucial game of footy. The youth at all costs policy should be renamed "Youth at a massive cost"

Well done FD

Lost at the selection table and above the shoulders

Why do we always lose these games? After three years of it and with Roos at the helm, you'd think they would have sorted it out by now.

Both.  I bought 3 memberships this year.

Back in your hole.

My hole....settle down.

How do you tolerate this?

And don't mention the win against Hawthorn and Port.

Possibly the worst coaching performance from Roos when you consider the team selection, match ups and structure.

His 'let them learn and adapt' ethos needs intervention at times. Goodwin needs to rip into these players and take control.

Nothing else to say.

 

Embarrassing footy.

Don't mention this loss or the one to Essendon then.

I've had enough of Hogan. 

He can take his attitude and his VFL level kicking and go away. 

Yeah I agree. I have privately thought that for a while now.

Patheric performance, woeful effort. As soon as we get pumped up in the media, we drink our own bath water, fans included. Finals are far from a certainty next year, as we are still weak in the head.

I raised this point two weeks ago. Take away finals it's apparently too much to expect players to turn up for work 22 days a year.

The coaches bought into the arrogance.

Well i hope this really really hurts because I am hurting big time.

Hard to split this and the Essendon game for worst losses of the year. I'm gutted right now. It was going to be such an old Melbourne thing to come out today and lose to bloody Carlton. We had to prove people wrong and show we've moved past this kind of heartbreaking, peahearted [censored].

But no, we serve up this predictably terrible performance and throw finals in the bin.

Forget Hurley and Hibbered, we need class in the midfield, we really have none, just blue collar hard workers (not today though).

You guys (and gals) are all nuts. Hogan has quite literally been our only forward today.

Exactly Chook.  19 touches and 14 marks.  His kicking for goal over the off season needs some serious work, but to suggest he has a bad attitude with stats like that is ludicrous.

No doubting his set shots have increasingly become an issue as this year has gone on though,

Petracca as well for that matter. Both could be anything, but have a fixable flaw in their games.

The three guys we brought in today werent even seen.... 

 

I don't know if this or the boomers game was more pathetic....

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
