Sheesh, some people need their one eye attended to.

There needs to be more intent. Take the first option, back yourself. Theres too much give it to the other guy and let him deal with the problem attitude.

It's really simple.

We have too many players who aren't good enough.

(Also a few who aren't quick enough.)

You mean like Lewis was pilloried for doing last week?

Yep.

Without getting into a discussion of that, the difference here is that we are doing it at stoppages, which is causing our problems.

I just dont understand the lack of intensity or pressure.

 

No excuse.

Haven't had intensity since pre QB and haven't had pressure all year. 

As someone said above this side is running on pure talent (from some) and getting sweet F all from it's coaches.

Frost has the same shortcomings as 3 years ago. Hannan should not have played. JKH deserved a game based on vfl form but won't play again.

haha yes this.  Anyone who thinks Tyson would fix this is definitely on the spectrum. 

Maybe when the AFL decrees that handballs to feet are worth points we'll bring back Tyson.

The trubble is buzzy,  Hannan adds nothing or hasnt so far and we are losing stoppage clearances badly.  I can only assume they are getting half their goals from those and the other from our dumbass turnovers.  T-Mac, Lewis and Frosty the obvious ones.

They have 11 rookies to our 6.  We should spiflicate them!

Dogs have one of the worst 3rd quarter records in the comp.

 

Let see how much we want it...

I’ve only seen the second quarter, but my take is that dogs are getting repeat inside 50s due to poor decisions and kicking. There was a point where it looked like we were breaking the game open but we let them back in and it gave them confidence. 

The game has had a lot of ebs and flows, we need to make the most of the time we’re on top.

Only reason we aren't behind is they haven't converted. Did you watch the Saints game? Its pretty much Verbatim.

I just can’t believe our lack of defensive pressure 

We won’t win at the G with this zone; it leaves too much space open wide on the wings and waiting for transitional ball movement 

Been tha same for over 12 months

Dogs have 11 of their best 22 out apparently. But yes, 1 pt win would do.

We are playing terrible today

Getting close to turning off, yet again.

    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.

    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
