Tyson- very sorely missed

Turn over king that cant hit targets? 76% disposal efficiency, one of the highest on the ground. No composure and just bombs long? Only 10 of his 29 disposals were Kicks, 6 of them were Inside 50

So I'm assuming we lost by 10 goals?

I don’t usually agree with you @joeboy but you’re bang on today.  Gawn was disappointing around field, jumped one handed at the ball all day

Jetta - Not Nev's best

Lever - Horrible first game

Hibberd - Came into it

Hunt - Got better

McDonald - Solid

Jones - effectiveness of disposal?

Gawn - Good game

Oliver - Love

Vince - Came into it 

Salem - Looked good early

Neal-Bullen - Didn't do enough

Lewis - Undisciplined 

Petracca - showed a lot

Pedersen - Not his best

Harmes - Not convinced 

Fritsch - Not there yet

Garlett - Quiet

Hogan - Worked hard

Wagner - No

Hannan - Didn't do enough

Maynard - Not yet

Melksham -  Didn't do enough

 

We need to think seriously about whether we can play Jones, Lewis & Vince in the same side.

Agree with the review on Melksham. His preseason form went completely missing.

Harmes was disappointing for mine, not sure if he'll ever go to another level.

Pedo tried hard all day and was unlucky a few times.

Gawn was probably BoG if he had kicked that. Super game.

Jones worked himself back into it I thought.

Lever had a mare for the first half but his second was much better.

Goodwin - in the hotseat??

We got outcoached. They forced lever to play 1/1 and cleverly had toohey as a spare man running out of the backline. We stuggled to combat some of these strategies. When Scott made a move, it worked. Goody needs a few good wins under his belt pronto or he will be on the front page of the hun with the footy journos flinging butt mud at him.

I think Frost is a better option than Wagner. His run would have been something we could have used today.

Goodwin - No Game Plan. 

Lewis - No leadership here

Maynard - Still VFL standard

Tyson & Brayshaw - Should have played

Maynard - Massive responsibility on his shoulders for a guy who has played under 5 games.  How can you say he is VFL standard?  Building a great foundation.

 

Harmes - Had a good 2nd half

Worse analysis ever Joe! Obviously watched the game on TV and wasn't sitting in the crowd looking at the entire MCG!

Jones often gets hard, contested ball with little assistance which tends to lead to what is mentioned above.

Jones also often plays on without thought and without looking at the options he has available.  It's one of his biggest flaws, in particular since he's the captain.

Jones was not the problem today. Goodwin had a shocker 

Agree here. Cats attacked through the centre all game and either the Coach or so called team leaders on ground did not cover this important part of the ground. Plenty of Cat's goals came from loose players in centre corridor and we did not respond to cover that area.

Also the problem is we have many lazy players who do not work hard enough both ways

Frosty  a big body and key back to free Lever to play the sweeper roll. We would be structured better. Can break the lines.

Tyson is an under rated inside mid  not selected today we were one less experience onballer to help Petracca and Jones. Would have been the difference l believe.    At least Frosty  and Dom have heart !   

Goodwin, what were you thinking.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
