We have been a poor tackling side for as long as I can remember.. Today was just a 'bruise free day' for the young Dees.. Hope they drop the habit.

Still lack a fair bit of genuine class and leadership but some of the talent is there to work with..

A poignant indication for mine, and it goes to the idea of litmus raised elsewhere; we still finished withsub 100℅ 

That's a fail

Disappointing to say the least

Squandered , more the case

What have we really learnt ?

Trade yourself out to anyone. How about we keep Hogan and you get lost. I'm sick of people like you going off half cocked with negative drivel. You would have next to no idea what you're talking about.

Top response. If you can't see Hogan's ability beyond a few average performances then I don't think you've been watching the last two seasons.

A 21 year old centre half forward with 41 games and 85 goals under his belt is something special. If you can't understand that then go to bed.

Hogan just looks like he's been playing self-preservation football the 2nd half of the year. Won't be surprised to see the headline on Tuesday or Wednesday next week "Hogan requests trade"

I'm frustrated like all & prob posted a negative .. But after listening to Roos presser ., he's on the money & said pure & simple young kids ran out of legs after Port game... Big month won 3 in a row.. Wins against Hawks, port & almost WC, 2 road trips. Another preason for our 1st & 2nd year players will help. We should feel confident going fwd as Roos said that young team has plenty of growth together for improvement... Throw in melcshem & few more trades should see further improvements!

Or understand how key position forwards develop over time.

As much as watching the game today sucked, perhaps it was for the better.  There has been enough good performances this year for the team to build a bit of confidence that we can match it with some of the good teams on our day.

If there was any sence of overconfidence and complacency from our small run of form, today's loss should leave a bad taste in the mouths of the players to motivate them to work their butts off over preseason as there is obviously still a lot of work to go.

Someone on this page might be a little bit tipsy...

FWIW Hogan is young, inexperienced, and struggles to cope with being out of form as it's happened to him so few times in his life. He's passionate; and in its youth, it comes across as cantankerous. The determined, stoic type will come with age and experience.

I'd also wager that he's playing injured which is adding to his lack of mobility and frustration. He could barely walk when off the ground during the stkilda match and hasn't looked dangerous since.

I'm not sure that Freo would be looking so attractive to Hogan after the realitive seasons us and them have had.

Freo's annus horribilis couldn't have come at a better time for us in many ways.  The main concern would be if the exit of key players like Pav and deflation in value of a few others will leave them with a huge war chest to throw at Jessie.

Hogan's first season was certainly ahead of where Johnathan Browns was and Tom Hawkins took about as long as Jack Watts to come good I recon.  Both of the aforementioned played in kinda handy sides too.

Our delivery into the forward line was deplorable at times this year, but should only get better as the team improves.  I'm sure Jessie would have been much happier with the kind of supply that Tomahawk was getting today.

Bruise free? We were [censored], or skills shucked and we let a free tackles slip but ask Dangerfield if we were bruise free. We went hard and scragged when we didn't have the ball, they just out played us.

Keep coming back to the skills. All those turnovers just kill us, kill our confidence, and kill any hope of getting a roll on.

The most horrifying thing about yesterday was it was pretty much our best 22.

i could sort of accept yesterday if we had 8-10 of our best 22 out, but we had our likely 2017 Rd 1 side ( minus M Jones and possibly Bugg and Harmes).

Next year it's unlikely we won't have the dream injury run that we did this year.

    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

    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
