Looking at their forward line vs our named back 6 (excluding Salem who can play) this could get incredibly ugly

I am seriously in two minds about dragging myself out on Wednesday night. This is usually my favourite match of the season but there is only so much a supporter can take. I am still flat after Saturday nights loss so I am not sure I can put myself through that again in one week.

Think I will decide on the night.

bought some reserved seats but feeling the same way

after living through Neeld, I never thought I'd see "long down the line to Jamar" as our main defensive transition "strategy". But that was all we had against StK (s/Jamar/Gawn/g).

hugely disappointing - the losses under early Roos were ok - we could see what was happening and the defensive effort. 

this is dross.

Very rarely in my 28 years following this mob have I missed a game I can get to. I sat through almost ever Neeld mauling to the end, usually after a bad loss I vow not to return next week but as the week draws to a close I always give in... Short turn around has me still [censored] off so not going tomorrow night, unheard of for me. Travelled to Sydney only 2 weeks ago, they’ve lost me & will take a lot to get me back in the short term

Which is such a shame, I suspect I am not the only one, this game at the start of the year should have been pushing 100k, club hasn’t held up there end. Be lucky to get 70k

Going tomorrow feels like an actual chore. I’ve lost all interest. 

Neal Bullen and Tim Smith in for us. Jack Reiwoldt in for Tigers. Life is so great when you’re a Melbourne supporter!

Oh and Goodwin will never have the guts to drop Lewis just like he will never drop Hibbo or TMac who are both barely going. I suppose when the cupboard is bare you gotta make do with what you have.

Not too disappointed by the ins although I’m not an ANB or a Tim Smith fan. But unless TMac plays back, we will get absolutely mauled by their forward line. If I  have to watch Hore or, heaven forbid, Hibberd pretending to be KPD on one of their guns I will vomit.

Im not feeling overly enthused about going either but I better make the effort...we need a couple of fans to show up even if the players don't! Hoping for a competitive effort as we'd need an absolute miracle to win...

I like the theme of the changes - we have brought in five blokes who can either give us some run or go hard at the contest. I think adding Jeffy is a smart move and I'm hoping to see Smith provide a couple of goals and some pressure when the ball hits the deck.

It’s so true. His press conference comments about owing Lewis loyalty for what he’d contributed at Melbourne (and Hawthorn ffs) says it all in my opinion. He won’t make the tough calls on guys like Lewis, Jones and even Hibberd until too late.

I was feeling the same way yesterday but I’ll be heading to the G.  The night is a great event and hopefully they put in more of an effort 

It willl be a very satisfying victory if we can get over the line.

I am cutting Lewis a bit of slack. Apart from The desperate Dees, who brings a player who has not played a game since September 2018 straight back into the side? Surely he should have had a few weeks in the two’s to get match fit. It least I know his trying, which is more than I can be sure of with a few others running around for us.

Putting ANB in is a joke. Slowness and fumbles.

Why is Smith in ahead of Kielty ?

Should have rested TMAC and given petty a game.

Why is lewis playing ?

I have the next 2 days off but would prefer to sit in front of the mirror and slowly insert toothpicks into my eyes than watch what promises to be a mauling live. In fact i will be doing my best to avoid watching on TV as well. Maybe the odd score-check until the game is obviously done and dusted just to save my family from my foul mood.

Cant believe how quickly the team has turned my confidence into utter despair.

Would actually like to see ANB played in the centre square and given the freedom to run all over the ground. Test some of the Tigers mids for fitness. I know he'll be ineffective with the ball but it's not like we are dominating clearances as is.

Then our actual mids can all spend more time resting forward and play at a higher work rate when in the middle.

The wings have copped a lot of the blame for the lack of transition running but if you watch the games it's actually Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney who are even further behind play. Harmes is about the only one sticking with it.

He is a running machine, they could do a lot worse.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
