this is a team with no structure, no intent, and zero leadership.

I don’t understand how we’re not learning any lessons with all our players being drawn to the ball and the opposition getting the spares on the outside. It keeps happening.

Why is it Dwayne Russell every week? He hates us.

2 gettable goals given up now... Jeffy being Mr Selfish and Lockhart could have steadied

Jeffys last game based on that quarters decision making.

Multiple Hawks get away with dropping or throwing the ball and we got pinged for a dubious to high in our fwd line. Almost goal.

I think I say it every week how the hell an AFL player can still try to take a chest mark is beyond me, extend your arms, there is a rule where a player can’t chop your arms (never applied now a days) and you can’t be spoiled!!

Hawks stroll into space. I am just utterly in shock at how bad they are.

Confidence shot, skills nowhere. If you can't get simple 2 metre handballs to reach their target ...

We are just horrible. 

We have no confidence and don’t trust each other. 

Garlett u r done at this club. That was unforgivable not to pass it to TMac which would have been a definite goal.

Terrible skill level.

No leadership.

What has happened to Tom McDonald and Fritsch?! Neither are even VFL standard at present. Staggering drop in form.

Posted

Our inability to string a few possessions together under any sort of pressure is embarrassing.

Posted

Week after week our inability to man up with the oppo has the ball should see Goodwin sacked for that alone. Totally useless. PLayers thnk they can guard grass and the Dorks just waltz through unimpeded.

Hawks will pull away to a 10 goal lead then put the cue in the rack to stay fresh and uninjured. We will still madly run around like ants whose nest has been disturbed, and to the same effect.

in shock? we've been awful for 2 months

Our setup at ball ups or throw in is disgraceful.

They have  2-3 unmanned behind the pack and every clearance goes to one of them and then run the ground. 

Bloody man them up or go Coach under 7’s. Pathetic.

2 goals against us directly from players handballing to above the target's head. Professional athletes and they cant do the basics. Skills are appalling.

This is a team with no confidence - either in themselves or their teammates. Survival mode kicks in, as does the "I've got to do something" mentality, and then it's all down hill.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
