After witnessing the winning performances in this round of two other clubs heavily affected by injuries - Collingwood and Essendon - all I can say is the time for making excuses is well and truly over

That free against Max for the Bulldogs goal was one of the worst frees I've ever seen.

All these people saying the Dogs have no forwards have t obviously been paying attention to Naughton. The young guy is a gun. 

He's certainly talented and capable of tearing us apart, but consistency is not his thing.

He's kicked 22 goals but 9 of those have been in two games (5 when he ripped Richmond to shreds, 4 last week vs Geelong) meaning 13 in the other 12 games.

He'd only kicked 4 goals in the previous 6 games before last week.

We have to back May in to be able to stop him.

Their forward line is hopeless, and our backline is stacked. Can’t see them scoring enough. We win this 

They still have the Bont if we can't lock him out sufficiently.

We do play this ground better than most other grounds now but i fear the injury gods have crueled us too many times too often now to think we won't be effected in matches like today.

Injuries and last week's 2nd best game for the year aside, our forward set up / personel is still as poor as it gets and we are still very skilled giving the opp way too many easy turnovers.  The better teams will cruel us on those and the mediocre ones like the dogs will probably do enough to beat us on the day.

Never been able to put more than one win together other than the Hawks/GC rounds and we know how bad the GC are going.  Confidence and belief can't be great within the four walls right now.

We do have Clarry though.  Can win a game off his own boot if he plays clean and smart like he did last week so we just might sneak in another cheeky victory if everyone turns up and plays four quarters.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    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.

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
