Carlton mate showed me a stat this morning. 

Marchbank: Metres gained - Minus 13. Is that even possible for a full game? 

Sadly, some of our past players might have him on that pre Roos.  Don't want to mention names as they did their best but we consistently handballed in circles and backward to a player under pressure until we turned it over.  Painful. 

As an aside, there are so many similarities Bolton to Neeld: lauded as a teacher, talked up by their premiership winning coach, acid tongue when under pressure demoralising players (altho Bolton hides it better behind his childish smile).  Rubbish game plan.  Both clubs shambolic off field with poor player development. And they play 'bruise free' football?

It amazes me how they had a template of what not to do (MFC) yet they have copied it to a T.

Two consecutive 10 goal floggins from bottom 4 clubs and players aren't playing for him.  He will really feel the blowtorch now.  So glad it isn't us anymore.

Their injury list is horrific to be fair. Although other than Docherty their outs would only have made a difference around the margins.

They need to do an independent full club reiview. Football department, administration, recruting, fitness and medical staff... the whole kit and caboodle looks to be a shambles.

What amazes me is some Carlton fans think that Tyson would be surplus to their needs. He’d be their second best inside mid by a mile. They don’t even know how to help themselves.

True their injury list is a problem but I suspect they wouldn't make much difference. 

The bigger problem is they traded away their better players:  Betts, Garlett, Waite, Gibbs, Robinson, Touey, Henderson and I'm sure there are others.   It was very deliberate to get picks for SOS to take to the draft so they now have a bunch of talented kids who are suffering.

Tyson would take a lot of the load off Cripps.  He would be really good for them.  I have to say I really admire Cripps.  Reportedly he is playing with a number of injuries.  He is playing so well that he is regularly BOG and second on the Coaches vote table.

In my first ever game of under 12s,  I only got one kick. 

It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

SOS offered you a contract yet?

Brizzy win would be huge for us.

Only 9 down at the half.  Let’s what belief the6 have built up.  Anyone gong to tag Mitchell?  Or is his huge DT score at half time, high possession but not effective one?

Hoping  for other losses is a sine qua non for a dees supporter. Go lions.

Brizzy have drafted very well the last few years, They have some serious talent and  are developing their kids nicely.

Basically the total opposite of Carlton.

Fagan has a good steady approach to improving teams, helped us in the late 90s, then moved to hawks and nor Brissie.  A very long apprenticeship to get where is at Brisbane,

That’s what happens when you hit the draft and not GWS Scrapheap

    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 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
