Hibberd can't hold a mark. Butter fingers tonight. 

I reckon the ground and ball are slippery  

Hibbo is still finished.

Hibberd looks a shadow of his 2017/18 self.

Nice goal from Jack!

Other than being a former All Australian.. what exactly does Hibberd contribute to the team?

If the round one choice is between him and Lockhart, the choice is pretty clear.

I’d say Salem in Hibbo out. 
We miss Salem’s kicking.

Neal-Bullen continues to be a chain killer.  Every period of good clean possession ends when he gets it.

It's either a fumble or a ridiculous attempt at a handball.

I honestly don't know what to make of that first half.

We've done some good stuff... but have been terrible frustrating at the same time.  

Our usage forward of centre continues to be a problem, as do our skills (although the dew doesn't help), but then I feel as though we look terrific defensively and when it all 'clicks'  I can see us putting multiple goals together in quick succession.

I feel more positive than negative but we'll need to improve to have a shot at the Eagles in Round 1 at this stage.

Hibberd another shocker he's close to being out of my side. Tomlinson, Langdon and Petracca playing well.

    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
