It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us. 

Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.

Believe me, l hear you ProperDee. It has been a very long and excruciating ride for many of us. I was intending to go tonight,  as l have done through all those dark decades and not so long

Are you kidding? Goodwin was gifted an up and coming side with great club administration and sound fundamentals as a team. He is effectively in his 4th year and has had an armchair ride yet we have no

Boy, Demonland is in a bad mood. Imagine what it will be like when we lose!

Fritter in the forward half of the ground easily > Fritter in the defensive half. Can't believe it took this long to make that happen.

so it really needs to be discussed. Do I know more about footy than Goodwin? I've been asking for fritsch to be played since day 1 and quite frankly I think its embarrassing that it took him 17 rounds to do it.

Nothing to do with the game plan. If the players don't work to position, that's what happens.

Both Wagners need to go! 

Lack of fitness, arrogance, or laziness? Which makes us a worse defensive running side?

They've been ok Jaded IMO.  Limitations at the moment as early days but both play with intensity ar the footy and opponents.  Josh really dropped off from a reasonable start to the season then went back for a stint at Casey when higher rated opponents returned but thats what happens to inexperienced players.

Cory similar.  In for a few out for a few.

Takes a while to find feet at such a high level.  Lets see how they go for remainder of year eh.

You think it was a coincidence that when our back six returned from injury that Fritsch went fwd again?

Lewis up forward is already a find for us.

Oh to make positional discoveries a mere 6 weeks before a player is due to retire. How useful.

I prefer to think of it a a low centre of gravity- he is so strong around the hips and rarely goes to ground

After a couple of dud tunes, we have another for the victory playlist -

James Brown, Get on Up:

Starts with a goal to Fristsch, finishes just after Smith nails his.

 

So all our goals have been thanks to two mighty smooth songs so far.

Don't understand when you get a fast start why the hell you don't go doubly hard to make it a six goal advantage. Let them back far too easily. Lever, Lewis, Fritta, Clarry and Petracca have been good.

    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

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    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
