Agree. No ability to judge the footy. Needs to go back to Casey. 

Probably needs delisting to tell the truth. His run and pace is exciting to watch,  until he butchers the disposal or fumbles when receiving the footy. Also goes missing during huge swathes of the game. [censored] it's depressing.

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

Jones has been a good servant, Finished now. Viney is not a Captain. Captain Chaos for mine.

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 idea.  

When a team is so slow, Frost stands out like a beacon.  His tackling has gone up a notch too.

 

My only criticism of him is to run and take them on more.

He has speed and strength but no idea really how to use it. He is consistently out maneuvered or pushed under the ball when in good positions. When he does run with it he'll either fluff the kick or send it to an out number then stand there watching as it comes back over his head. He's an athlete not a true footballer

He is not a defender.

Should be played on a wing with his height and 

speed. When Lever and May return Goodwin might actually work it out.

I thought they should have moved him forward last night onto Grimes or vlauston, told him to stay with them and only run forward if we can get it over the top. He will stick with a man, but his inability to read the play is a big issue, if he's taken to the ball he's then half a chance, but that's a much bigger issue in defence

He & Hunt on opposite wings. I hope when May/Lever r back Goodwin does it. I've thought they should be wingers 4 ages. Also Fritter must be a forward not a defender.

Love the idea of Hunt in principle but he is not a  natural footballer.

Fritta is a forward, once again re-iterated.

No...  I mean we've got to import some players at the draft this year,  and reboot for better play  in 2020.

Nothing to do with grand finals, if that's what you meant.

Wing or Half-forward...  I think Wing, and he can help our inside F50's.

Jones needs to be put either forward pocket or back pocket, or back in the middle, his pace and ball skills are being found out on wing. He’s been an absolute champion of the club and needs to be able to go out on his terms!

Did he play wing against Richmond? He certainly played large periods of the game in the backline and spent some time as the starting 4 at centre bounces, but I don't recall him being used on the wing. Thankfully. My preferred spot for him right now is as a small forward with occasional runs on the ball.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
