Hibberd looks the part for someone who hasn't played in 18 months.

Haven't seen much of Johnstone yet.

He's been adapting for 12 months 

Which is nothing in the scheme of things when you sit it next to Barrassi's 5 year plan

I have waited for the day that Melbourne players would get the ball, know exactly what they are meant to do next and be able to execute quickly and cleanly. We just look very even with everyone knowing what to do. Our ball movement out of deep 50 needs work (please move Vince up the ground) but otherwise looking good.

Im calling it now.

Spencer and Weideman as lock ins for round one.

Weed works so hard and is very smart, a perfect foil for Hoges.

Spencer is in good form and allows Gawn more time in the forward line.

Both make us a better side, much more balanced and dangerous.

I'm pleased for Spencer but I'm not sold on having two rucks against the Aints at Etihad, round 1.

Loving Oliver, Hogan and Salem. 

Not loving Tom McDonald. Give his brother the ball. 

Hibberd can have Melksham's spot.

Disagree, Spencer hasn't taken a mark hasn't troubled the scorers and only had 6 hitouts. All of Watts Frost and Pederson are better choices

Tom McDonald has been one of our best.  No errors, no turnovers & he has beaten his man.  Is giving us good drive out of defence as well.

He's made the dumbest decisions with the ball he could make. 

Missed Hibberd in an acre of space which resulted in a turnover.

Can't believe the size of this crowd!  It's 4 times bigger than a large VFL crowd.

Still managed to find the E&B roll stand

Tom kicked the ball out in front of Hibberd and Hibberd then transgressed the rules

Instead of diving at the footy Hibberd should have taken out the Carlton player with a hip and shoulder and then gathered the ball.

Melksham with good moments in the third quarter so far.

Max Gawn kicks his second.

Petracca is going to be a headache for opposition sides. Hard match up. Going to be some player. Last week he out bodied Marcus Adams, this week he is pin pointing blokes and moving like Jayden Hunt. What a hard match up.

We are controlling just about everything. OMac has done some good things.

Meanwhile, Jesse kicks his third.

Are the blue naggers missing a heap of players? 

Wowee looks like a training run for us. The pressure we are putting on is exceptional.

In saying that our skills will cost us a couple of games this year.

Are we that much better? Or are Carlscum absolutely disgusting???

Considering one of their goals came from a freakish boundary shot (from a young rookie), and now the umps just gifted Cunningham a goal (why I do not know). Carlton should only be 2-3 goals.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
