Garlett may have been a bit quiet, but he has laid 6 tackles this evening.  You can't fault that effort, even if we all wish he had hit the scoreboard a little more.

That’s just silly, we’d need 113,361 inside 50 entries.

Nice leading chest mark to Hogan. With how many entries we get, we should see that from him 10 times a game.

FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

I was just about to write - I've done a hell of a lot of whinging for what's going to turn out to be a 10-12 goal win!

No, but you can fault his lack of impact.

Looked superb, but it's hard to do when there are generally 8 other players standing in front of him most of the time.  If you give him the space he'll lead up and mark it 9 times out of 10.

Probably because we should be up by 80

For his first game back for a while, I'll take 13 touches, 6 tackles and a goal.  He can build on that in the coming weeks and I've liked his pressure in the forward half of the ground.

22 inside 50s for Freo could well be the impact we wanted from Jeffy and his tackles.

Self protection mechanism - complain until siren sounds with a win. Based on work cover advice

I think it's just a bit of pragmatism based on the significantly under-strength and youthful opposition.

We're not going to get away with this amount of wasted forwards opportunities against a half decent team.  

Around the ground we've been fantastic though.

    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
