This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

mmmmmmmmmm

perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

 

Can't handle the pressure

Where is the midfield? MIA.

It is purely the disposal. We get it and turn it over.

We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile. 

 

Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

Salem and Jones are having shockers.

Clarry tagged out of it.

Baker is poor around the contest.

Forward line is still disfunctional.

Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

Salem can’t hit a target. Our disease has finally got him.

 

Salems always been overrated.

what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

3rd quarter will be interesting.

I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
