Season is on the line. Win this and we have some breathing room. Lose and we're probably one loss away from missing finals.

Our changes will be 10 players.

Time to pray for miracle, ladies and gents.  We're going to need it.  Pray to God, Buddha, Allah.... whoever you please.  Divine intervention is required.

So many players out of form it is unfathomable. Oliver?

We don’t make come backs. We should be praying we don’t have a percentage battering because that’s usually what happens in last quarters when we are losing

I long for six weeks ago when it was hard to find a player to drop. Currently hard to make a case for half the team to be retained next week.

This is the worst - feel like I’m on a hiding to nothing by watching the last quarter. At least in the good old days when we were awful, you could watch knowing the game was well out of reach and couldn’t get worse, and just watch in the hope that one of your talented kids gave you some reason to smile.

Winning seems unlikely, small mercies don’t cut it anymore and it can get a whole lot worse. I am definitely a sucker for punishment. Let’s go.

What an absolute disgrace.

We've completely reverted to the bomb it long to the top of the square on the MCG. We don't switch enough and our forwards don't look like taking a contested mark.

At three quarter time, it's game over against a team that's won 2.5 games for the year.

Gawn and Viney have tried hard to lift the team, but not enough leadership once again.

Has Brayshaw had an effective disposal since quarter time? I don't think so.

Where years away from a flag

Play the Kids 

only exception would be Pedersen he at least cares

We cannot defend a wide ground.

A loss and our season is over. Sure umps have been poor, but christ, we have been so much worse.

All coaches and players need to be put on notice, particularly Goodwin.

My god this club is staggering. 

They just can’t get theiit [censored] together and always seem to stuff up when it counts  

I am so disappointed in this club AGAIN.

I know we have played poorly but the umpires have destroyed us at times. Like last week. Anyone who disputes the umpires impact has simply not played footy. It can seriously impact your momentum and confidence and mess with players minds. Salem played a text book effort and was pinged. Afl need to stop games ruined by whistles and crazy 50m penalty calls.

In his defence Petracca does look like his working hard to have an impact at the moment 

Tracc far from our worst..too many others just can't finish (Brayshaw, Lewis, Jones) or find enough of the pill (Hannan, Tyson etc).

Goody has made a slow team slower, tried a failed 3 tall forward line far too long with no crumber front & square at all (Spargo) and brought in a first gamer who unfortuntely isn't close to AFL yet, instead of Frost, making an already dodgy backline even dodgier.

Sorry Goody but you couldn't have done a worse job last 2 weeks and have let the club down badly.

Amazing how we were flying as of only 3 games ago. Talk about complacency from all player's and coaches. All were stuck in cruise control admiring their own work.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
