I also thought it really hurt us having Hunt off the ground for most of the second quarter.  We can definitely still win this game if we run them off their feet in the second half.  Hawthorn's last quarters in particular have been the worst in the league.

Same with me Wise, awful, and after I talked him up JKH pressure non existent, although he is not alone in having a poor half

You could argue that our forward line as a whole is not putting on the pressure - Hannan, Trac, Garlett etc. are not exactly giving us much on the defensive end so far. 

The bonus is we have a half to turn it around, if we can.

We are playing like it's been raining, ultra sloppy and dumb long bombs forward

Fantastic way to wake up in the UK. This is my mistake for thinking after our round one win vs the Saints that we'd finally turned the proverbial corner. But we sound like we're still stuck in our old habits of inconsistency and leadership going missing when it counts. 

I haven't watched any of it yet, hopefully they come out to play in the second half, Goodwin better give them a bake.

I think the coaching staff needs a bake , in fact the bloody lot of them ..

Want an example of dumb football, just watch the last 30 seconds of each quarter.

Q1: Hibberd just has to go down the line and kill it, but kicks out on the full, comes straight back in and Hawthorn goal

Q2: Again, we just have to kill it down the line, but whoever it was tries some [censored] switch with Cyril in the vicinity, turnover, and very very lucky not to be another goal.

Opposition teams have figured Hunt out, has barely done a thing last few weeks.

crap

We just bomb it into our forward line, we have to clear it and leave it open for the forwards to lead. We aren't going to win the ball bombing it in to a pack.

They are smashing us in the air. We need to win the ground level footy more & then hit some god damn targets by our god dam foot!! all these dinky handballs which seem to be mainly missing the target are allowing hawks to get numbers back then it's just too congested to score. our basics are letting us down. so god damn frustrating

If we want to continue with the handball that's fine but how many handballs have we had where the players have to stretch out to get a finger tips too it, it allows the hawks to put pressure on, if something drastic doesn't change after half time we won't get close to winning, season is on the line imo, hawks are a man down with birchall too

It was Vince.  As soon as he went for it I hung my head and refused to watch as I knew what was going to happen.  Bugg did it earlier in the term when he won a ball, looked inside and literally kicked it to two Hawks players.

Langford is the highest rated AFL Fantasy player at half time with 77.

Let that sink in.

Petracca should be playing higher up the ground. We need someone good for Hibberd and Salem to hit up.

Ignore him, dazzle.  He only shows up these days in the gameday thread to try and troll other posters here with comments like that.  He doesn't actually add anything of value, and in fact I'd wager he isn't actually a Melbourne supporter at all.

I can't see us winning this. Hawks are full of confidence, with luck and the umps on their side. It's just disappointing.

Structure and setting up poor.

Too much handball. Too little sticking marks. Too easily getting pushed offthe ball. They getting spacecand linking...as though we're not there.

Very forgettable half...again.

So much bullshlt talked up.

Abysmal

That is another great example. Bugg wasn't even kicking to anyone, he was just rolling the dice. Surely if you are going to kick blindly, you do so long down the line, not directly across into the corridor 50/60m out from your own goal.

While the Macdonald brothers play for Melbourne we will never be a contender

And he was omitted from a team that lost by 12 goals last week.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
