Pressure got to us. As I said I knew 7 in a row against a hot opposition on such a big day was too much to ask. Just not handling the occasion right now.

Pretty much game over if they kick straight.

Still in this but I can’t see us winn8ng from here. 

Jones/Viney should be at the umps this qtr time asking why they are allowed to throw and drop the ball. They have been horrible. in saying that, they would still be beating us. We are playing stupid football. Take a mark and handball to some one running 1 meter away and they guy on the mark just outs his hand out and smothers it.

Stupid football, getting smashed at clearances, being out run, our efficiency would be terrible, turnovers high, and Maxs dominance in the taps is useless if they take the ball away. 

Hogan, Trac, Milkshake, Nibbler, Fritsch, Spargo have done nudda.

The umpires from the Dockers/Crows game flew over.

Hogan needs to stop playing for the whistle.

Melksham’s disposal cost us two. 

Tackle to hurt, tackle so they can’t dispose of the bloody thing.

3 key forwards and we’re still bombing it inside 50.

Bad umpiring but collingwood is playing considerably better so it wouldn't matter. 5-6 goal better side atm. at least.

Collingwood starting to look spent at end of that quarter. They are throwing it all early but will burn out

Credit to [censored] Buckley he is smashing us all over the ground. Goodwin has to wake up in the box.

Not a good start from us as the Pies were more switched on.  It's not too dissimilar to how we started against the Dogs.  That great run, drive and spread hasn't been there so far, but I believe we'll turn it around.  Glad to get to quarter time to reset.

Umps aren't helping though.  It's not so much that the Pies ones weren't there (a few were not), it's just that we've had some similar ones that haven't been paid.  I don't mind if the umps are shite, as long as they are consistent with it and 10-3 in the free kick count suggests they haven't been.

Would love us to close the gap now and go in at half time ready to run over the top of them in the second half.

27 tackles to 16 (for us).

It's a reflection of their early appetite for the contest.  We need to match it now.

Goodwin was busy writing something. Probably his after match apology or resignation letter

    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

    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.
