65 tackles to 102 with Oliver having 10 of those tackles. The players don’t care. 

Garlett wont put his body on the line. Fact.

Who are our leaders on field? No one stood up. It was was just dumb football all round, no footy smarts. Hawthorn kept kicking it long the ground that whole 3rd quarter and we kept trying to pick it up. How hard is it to play wet weather footy?? Surely that would have to have been the message at half time.

We played dumb and got outworked. Pretty pathetic.

Culture and coaching are out two biggest issues followed by half a list of mediocre unprofessional footballers.

What a bunch of pathetic blokes.

Below 100% in one game. Weaker than Carlton. They have an excuse. They are [censored].

The Melbourne players have all gone home!

What a deplorable effort!  13 seconds from one Hawthorn goal to the next!

Has anyone told them they're supposed to play the WHOLE game!

What happened? The first quarter was fantastic. What the hell happened?

The Hawks were very busy applying pressure on us, whenever they could in the 1st Qtr.

 

This IS the Key. 

For a contested ball winning team, after winning the clearance, OUR quality disposal is the most important thing from that point.

This is where Clarko knows US,,, and he got us;  Just as he has done to other teams... eg:  the Swans in that Grand Final against the Hawks.

 

Clarko:-   apply relentless pressure until the opponent CRACKS UP_  make them gun-shy for the rest of the game, and they will feel it ALL game.

 

Unfortunately WE start to panic,,, before our players do, and we start to "eat our own"_ vocally, with our venom.

Our negativity becomes loud and vocal at US,,,,, instead of at our Opponents.

 

The opposition team also Feels this negativity against our own__  and they inturn grow another LEG. we boost the opposition,,,handing them a game on a platter for the taking, IF they can.

 

And the Hawks never need be asked, a 2nd time....   they take it and off.

Wow. I’m glad I got dragged to a wiggles concert, I caught the last quarter. What a pathetic team we support sometimes.  We have beaten no one of worthy this year.  The tigers will do us by 120next week if we play like this.

Another positive is I can plan a business trip in September without having to go in the bye week and miss my birthday.

    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
