I was at the game yesterday and this (last hour) has been the first chance I've had to read this thread. There are two things I'd like to add to the discussion: Firstly, it was amazing to see thr

We get great drive from both Macs.  Both take chances with attacking kicks and handballs.  Tom especially switches play on an almost constant basis. You wouldn't know it reading this site though

Don't mind the 2 rucks but Spencer up forward is a concern ... not sure we can throw him down back and we don't want to waste a bench spot which would otherwise be used for rotating the mids.  Jake competes well and he goes hard so that's not the issue.

It's always ok to experiment in these sorts of games though so it's not a wasted exercise.  I'd expect Watts to come in sooner rather than later.

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.

I prefer to keep waiting big red. First match is still a few weeks away and at a ground that we have a woeful record on vs a team that has an amazing record there. Hopefully all that changes after Rnd 1

His tackles are a highlight. Laid some absolute rippers.

We have the wind in this last quarter.

EDIT: Speaking of which, Petracca slams home his third with the wind behind it!.

I agree Macca. I doubt he will get many opportunities unless Maxy gets injured (touch wood that doesn't happen). Probably just managing big Maxy's workload coming into the real deal more than an experiment. Big Spencil is handy in these sort of matches and VFL level but fairly immobile to play anywhere but through the middle, which is a luxury most teams cant afford to risk in today's game.

no live coverage  here.... did we rest players or did we have the usual fade  out

We faded a touch, but mostly due to some dodgy umpiring decisions.

The heat has gone out of the game DJ ... we've been very good and the only worry is Brayshaw - I'm hoping it's only a precaution as to why he's off.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
