New game plan. Get Hunt to take the kick in with the wind behind him and just have shots at goal. If the wind is anything like it is here it will travel 200m!!

Cold and already breezy in Hobart this morning.  Sky is dull and gloomy ......... a bit like my head after a solid night out.  I fear that the weather forecast for the afternoon might be on the money,

If Tyson was able to improve his disposal, he would become a real weapon. Always seems to have leather poisoning.

Not sure which bit some don't get, yes Tyson butchers now and again, but he gets his hands on the ball, he is an important part of our midfield

Pretty pleased with that second qtr. Not a great day for forwards but competing really well. Watts looks in better touch, has had a hand in a couple of the goals. 

Melksham, Oliver, Tyson, Hunt (in that second qtr) killing it.

Trengove and JKH pretty ineffective.

Need to hold them in the third, throw a spare man behind the play (hell 2 even).

10 goals to 4 kicking with the wind. Need to do something.

need to push them wide as they come into the fifty and thus limit the scoring from a percentage viewpoint. Need Watts to play back centre corridor and just clog up the space. Even if he doesn't get a kick he will do his job if they are forced wide.

Tough conditions which has brought us down to their level. They are working harder and our tackling has been poor. Need more from Viney and our second string mids (Tyson and Oliver playing their role) and some hard work and controlled decisions from our backs next quarter.

I reckon this match shows how much we still rely on Jack Viney. He's having a down day and it's reflecting on the rest of our side. Getting Nathan Jones back next week will be massive.

Aside from Tyson who is going to stand up.  Jesse, Jack v and or Jack w.

Watts needs to start crashing a few packs. He is well rested from last week.

I think it might be Garlett to kick the goals. I'm tipping 5 for him.

The attitude towards JKH and Tyson in this thread is very interesting. People either really like or really hate what those two players are bringing today.

Angry face if you think they suck. Like if you think they've been amongst our better players.

My hope for the second half....
 

Someone kicks for goal with Brown standing the mark doing that stupid dance (like when Salo was kicking for goal).

They proceed to falcon him full strength in the face, collect the crumbs and then proceed to run into an open goal.

Tyson is a ball magnet. No doubt about it.

His disposal isn't always great to say the least.

JKH is s still developing. He is better now than previous games.

    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.

    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
