Viney - obviously not ready 

Jones - embarrassing and costly

Salem - our ONLY winner

Jetta - loose and slow

Hibberd - disposal was abysmal 

O. McDonald - no redeeming component

Frost - a total liability 

Petracca - still looks overweight 

T. McDonald - no second efforts

Weidemann - overrated and underwhelming 

Spargo - has a brain

Oliver - rarely advantaged us

Brayshaw - possessions without purpose

Harmes - tried but limited 

Gawn - was easily overcome 

Hunt - far from convincing 

Neal-Bullen - laughably our fittest

Sparrow - not the worst

Fritsch - just some cameos

Melksham - not as fluent

Hoare - lacked game awareness 

Wagner - not the answer

Don't really like individualising but starting to think Frost and Oscar will never really be up to it.

Salem - lone class act

Weeds - not a ruckman

Spargo- not forward target

Viney - why selected?

Preuss - why not selected?

ANB - blew up early

Hibberd- shanky left foot

Hore - better second half

Frost - frequent cognitive dysfunction

Petracca -slow muscle man.

Jones - retirement looming

MFC - recruit outside run

Spargo should never ever play another game his disposal and fumbles were dreadful 

Jones and Vineys leadership?? Non existent

Oscar as slow and fundamentally fumbly as ever!!

Frost heart in mouth stuff

Petracca drinks own bathwater

Neal Bullen never ever does enough and misses 2 easy goals 

Weeds doubts remain

T Mac don;t do any more interviews 

Corey Wagner? Another pygmy like Spargo

Max can't do it by himself Why Recruit Pruess and not play him??

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

Cats will tear us a new one next week 

Finals will be a distant memory!

4 Loses in a Row

Sparrow did show a bit!

One of Spargo's main jobs is to apply defensive pressure. While watching the game, I noticed he was all arms and was constantly brushed aside. I just checked the stats and my eyes didn't lie, he applied 0 tackles.

And this isn't a direct knock on Spargo, as he is a 19 year old kid making his way, but you take Spargo out for someone like Vandenberg, and that adds a considerable amount of strength and defensive presence to the team. Hopefully he is back sooner rather than later.

Sorry loges, but you're only starting to realise this? They are only made to look half decent by our midfield. When we fail there, like we did today, they are exposed big time.

OMAC is a more uncoordinated version of Garland (which i previously thought impossible)

Frost is simply a dumb footballer, with loads of athleticism that is let down by his mere stupidity. The frightening thing is, he doesn't play to his strengths but his weaknesses.

Before the game - full of hope

during the game- screaming at TV

after the game - single malt solace!

Yes I was giving them the benefit of the doubt but they just keep on making the same mistakes.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today.

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

    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 Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
