Jones - was embarrassingly inept

Viney - rarely found teammates 

Gawn - dominated the centre

Oliver - many meaningless possessions 

Brayshaw - same as Oliver 

Melksham - showed some composure 

Stretch - a momentum killer

Salem - steady and skilled

Harmes - showed little sparkle 

Hore - still learning craft

Lewis - painful to watch

Neal-Bullen - not a forward 

McDonald - looked more comfortable 

Frost - 3 excellent quarters

Fritsch - no second efforts

Smith - just a plodder

Garlett - failed to impress

Very generous, competed ok in the air but still gave away a stupid free kick to a wingman 10 meters out on a high ball. Fumbled everything.

Hunt is not a footballer. He’s an athlete but not a footballer.

Lewis - Keep your feet

Seriously, that's the first sign the game has passed you by.

It's time mate, get out now while you can...the only redemption is looking back on a great career.

You just don't have it to redeem yourself on the field any more...

Greatly undervalued Stretch & Hore and greatly overrated Tom MacDonald. 

Give it up you people. Any one of you played any decent footy?. That ball was coming into Tigers forward line at a million miles an hour and the backs had no hope however battled hard and it could have been a lot worse of a loss without the likes of TMac  who did well along with Frost,Salem and Hore . The forwards and Mids let them down AGAIN big time.

Viney - Learn team footy

Time & again Jack gets in the way of teammates &/or kicks blindly when he should have given off to a player in a better position.

He does my head in. Cost us both their goals in the 3rd...

Remember when we were really horrible (circa 2013) N.Jones was guilty of the same things?

 

They dont trust their their teammates to execute & try to take on too much.

WTF? He hasn't had 3 good quarters for the season, let alone this game. Frost had been the beneficiary of the omac hate on here, but seriously the guy has no football IQ, looks lost whenever the ball is not directly in front of him, and turns out over horribly at least a few times a game. All while just doing a specific job, not playing a zone like the rest of the defenders.

No they are both just average players with one attribute and that is agression/hardness.

Harsh on T.Mac kept Lynch to 1 goal. I thought he was good.

    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.

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
