O'Brien killed us last year. From memory, he took a game high 10 marks. I'd play Lever on him and he'll be able to sag off him and intercept as well.

Oscar goes to Roughead, providing he plays.

Jetta, Hibberd and Hunt or Frost to take Rioli, Breust and Impey.

Isaac Smith's speed and ball use is a worry in midfield and off half back. I'd play Harmes in a defensive role on him. (play Melksham as second ruck)

I'd also consider trying Vince for a quarter in a tagging role on Mitchell or allow Clarry to go head to head with him.

Why you say that AF? Not watching game, did something go down?

Tigers are closing down the 45° chip kick hawthorn love doing coming out of defence. Making hawks look like a bottom team bombing down the line to either outnumbered or outsized forwards. I think weid will get a game next week and play back up ruck and forward.

This is the kick that we continually allow. It's the kick that Geelong utilised every time out of their defence.

I agree. Thats probably why i noticed it. Hawks have hit it a couple of times and been able to move the ball quickly into the forward 50 resulting with shots on goal.

Gee just on the train and stopped at Richmond. The games still going and the platform is full of hawks fans. Gee they can't even stay until the end. This is a club that recently gave them 3 flags in a row. Sheesh try supporting a club that doesn't giveyou finals for 12 years.

Mind u there are Richmond fans that left early which I don't get either.

Darcy Parish possibly the most overrated footballer going round. Thank God we went Oliver.

I like how Essendon were rubbish defensively last year. So they recruited 3 front runners with no defensive attributes. Good strategy.

And to think after round 2, 2016 that some people on here were convinced of the opposite.

Just goes to show when you post after a disappointing loss that you should take a deep breath before doing so.

Essendon challenging the Saints for the worst quarter of footy here. Glorious.

The best defence is a mediocre offence.

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Fremantle

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    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
