Max destroyed should have played pruess and if we don’t win a clearance we are cooked, any team with some speed will destroy us, at least the hype might die down we are no where near it unfortunately, and with a tough draw I’m a bit worried now

has anyone noticed that other than a three minute burst of three goals we have scored around 2-5 behinds in almost 3 quarters of football.

This has been atrocious

Our "stars" got an absolute spanking today.

When was the last time Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Mcdonald, Jones and Petracca ALL had no impact?

Extremely concerning. The warning signs were evident during pre season.

Agreed, out worked, out pressured...

Really ....ing dissappointing

Really need some outside run instead of playing Jones and Viney on the outside. 

So many players out of form. We can't carry players out of form and play so many depth players. We are in serious trouble for the next few weeks.

Umps evening up something fierce now.

Where are we all drinking after the game to discuss and lament this pathetic display?

Frost and Oscar [censored] off

I never understood the blind faith and umpteen games gifted to Oscar (over an experienced and reliable Dunny) and never will.  Very poor decision by the FD and remains that way years down the track.

Too easily lost and shaken off by his opponent and looks as slow as a wet week when the ball hits the turf.  May for Oscar FCS.

Boys have been reading too much of their own press. Absolutely smashed and look massively underdone. Looks like it'll take a month or so to get rolling.

Frost is the new Fitzpatrick (tunnel ball) and Dunn (torp) and should never play for us again 

I suspect May will come in for him next week.

No way you could put Pettracca in the same category as the rest of those players. He has never played consistently good games like the rest of them.

While it looks bad... If you could magically change things so Viney and McDonald were in form the other players wouldn't be playing so poorly. It's a snowball effect, but can quickly snowball back the other way too.

    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 Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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
