I was wrong.

Oliver was not fired up by last week's events.

Will struggle to find a best 6 for us !! :unsure:

Strange selections this week are hurting -  White a liability, Wagner suspect at this level and because we didn't select Kent or JHK as a pressure forward we've killed hunts game too.

Hannan had to kick that goal earlier in the quarter, we kick that and the momentum is with us and momentum is a funny thing in sport. 

Sydney are running and murdering us in every way possible. The boys need to dig deep to stop this from blowing out. 

With seventy extra disposals, it is hard to see what Goody can conjure up in the final quarter? ?

Our endeavour has been very good but we've really left 2nd gear. Still think we're in it but without Viney it's simply impossible. Lots of passengers tonight unfortunately.

1 goal to 7 since quarter time.

Comprehensively outplayed.

Comprehensively stuffed.

I guess it had to come sometime. 

Time to lock down and consider next week, if we have any fit players.

We absolutely can't get blown away here in the last quarter. This loss is not a deal breaker for top 4, but it almost is if we get smashed. Stay with them Dees, and make it respectable.

2 out of 3 in this horror patch ain't bad, so keep your heads up.

Has the victim blaming got to Oliver? Maybe he should go around deliberately elbow players in the head like Schofield instaed.

Dees nack to earth tonight.

In a way....good

 This IS whete we really are...now build from this...adjustblist from this...[censored] off the useless from this.

Lessons to learn tonight. 

2017 not our year

..2018 onwards ? Well ..maybe :)

Pathetic 5 goals up to 3/4 time.  That's what tom kicked on his own last wk. Swans just all over us tonight.  Disappointed but back to reality. At least the premiership talk will die down.

Any news on Viney?

Foot.  Hope it is nothing serious, as too many foot injuries are.

Not yet. Just that it's his foot. 

They showed video of him about to lead the boys back upstairs at half time.

Something happened on the way back up.

Poor coaching tonight, lost it at selection table by not playing 2 of JKH Kent or BenKen. Also, Goody didn't start him on the ground and he didn't come on until half way through first

Obviously the coaches need to maintain a positive attitude with the players but I agree with this as well. We can't let it be a humiliation otherwise it could dent the confidence in our players. 

How we respond for the last quarter could tell the story of how we back it up next week.

It's an afl draw, it's his job to keep our guys in tip top shape regardless of the draw. 

He does keep them in top shape.

    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.
