Oscar is a liability.

He's not confident to kick and his handballs have too much air on them.

Too much air everywhere including between the ears

Uncle Bitter is toddling along today as the guest of a St Kilda member. I expect to be evicted by halftime as either - A. A boorish drunken loud mouthed and ungracious winner

We need the young guns to fire, I know Oliver is going to (3 Brownlow votes coming up). Petracca and Brayshaw need to step up if we're going to win. We also need to taunt Weller, his eyes are too clos

A few things to remember before today's game: Yes, the Saints will kick a goal at some stage.  There's no need to act like the world is caving in.  They may even kick two in a row, but that's no

Not sure which pisses me off more, the Saints kicking goals or the number of man buns in their team 

"Maverick" should be enough reason to hate the entire team

Daring to dream right now. Could it be…is it possible…could we actually…beat a middle-of-the-road Saints outfit? It’s the impossible feat, but we may do it!

Bugger Hunt just missed on the siren. 

Saints will come out hard after half time. 

C how the boys hold up.

What a half of footy!

Everything that we needed to improve on from the first quarter we did in the second.  7 goals to 1, some great running footy, so cool heads under pressure and much better use of the pill.

Long way to go but we're playing much better footy.  Big second half coming up!

I know he gets a big of flak these days, but Bernie has been sensational so far today.

Mr Vince & Lewis lead the fightback off HB in that 2nd quarter. The Lewis get is priceless for this club. Both in fact.

No just lets see how we come out after half time when the saints reset and get back to their pressure footy if they can.

I'm assuming, from the comments on here, that this is more than just a case of accuracy vs inaccuracy (7.0 to 1.6 that quarter)?

If so, what changed to bring about the turn in form?

Saints will absolutely come out fired up. They wont put another quarter in like that.

 

Question is, have we learned to withstand?

    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
