Blind Freddy can see how slow we are in the middle. Totally exposed at the moment. 

Needed to change the set up on ball ups. Max should be trying to belt it forward to set up an even contest,  instead little tap down and they clear and spread.

No pace. 

Crap disposal.

Harsh on Lewis.  I don't think he's been that bad.  At least he's gotten his hands on the ball a little, unlike many others.

Lewis isn't the problem, it's further up the ground and around the ball.

Yep, we've been found out a little today and I can't see us coming back from here.

We've looked a little flat, as if the last few weeks have taken it out of us a little.  Too many players down and not enough gut running.  The last few minutes summed up the day - we went inside 50 4 times for nothing, then they run it out with ease and kick a goal.  It's what was happening to us earlier in the season and it's happening here again today.

I don't see us winning this game but we've got another 30 minutes to make a response.

We’ve had a nine day break. Last few weeks had nothing to do with it.

I say again, we all look at the Pederson's, Lewis, Vince for leadership . . . But it's JONES again in a big game as captain, giving us fuckall. He trailed Mayne to the ball 3 times in the last 2 minutes. Goal. 

 

This is unacceptable from a skipper. Sorry, we all love the bloke for sticking fat but these are different times. Step up or step down stuff now

Hogan having a shocker. I think the Pedo v Weid debate is over. And poor JV although ok is no where near his best form. Anb and Gus have been outstanding in the last month but absent today. Spargo is he injured? He started so well. Poor Vince needs to consider retirement. Lewis not too far away. Petracca is just so very average and will not become a Dangerfield. 

We may make the 8 but we aint gonna win a flag this year. Still better than Dees of 3 years ago at least but this is not a Premiership side at all. Need some gun players that rip these big games part.

Tmac has fought well.

Too many old slow players - Vince, Lewis, Jones. Can’t have them all in the same side. Pederson, yet again, is just not up to it. 

Forward defensive pressure & press non existent today

Smashed in the clearances all day. Lost it in the middle.

The back-line have panicked with the amount of ball that has come in non-stop, whilst the forward line hasn't been all too effective with the limited ball that has been in our forward 50.

Time to bring in Hunt for Bernie?

He's not offering much anymore is old Bernie. At least with Hunt there's a bit of pace, something we have severely lacked today.

Posted

All these people calling for Vince and Lewis to be dropped where have you been the last 6 weeks, silly to judge a player off 1 game

Posted

38-20 in clearances. Pathetic. 

Gawn has wasted every hit out. Got nothing from Jones, Viney or Oliver. Brayshaw wasted on the wing. Bad selection with Pederson. We needed speed. Hunt should have played. 

Nobody will come close to replacing Lever. I think we will make the 8, but we look like just ladder fillers.

Amazing hunt wasn't already in today. We knew Collingwood had us for pace but did zero about it again. Hunt on a wing today at least would have shut down a bunch of those pie fast breaks up the wing

Poor BV is cooked. All day I have been waiting to see a dees player lay a solid tackle that makes a pies player think twice but alas we just haven't shown ANY grit.

Collingwood clearly a better contested ball team, quicker, sharper, better tacklers, and more depth. And we can't play the big stage. In respect to premiership possibilities, today proves we shouldn't even be in the conversation. For all the BS about QB being our GF, today it was a rehearsal, and we've been exposed as frauds. Utter frauds. Such is the MFC.

    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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
