Self-loathing?

... Yeah, that's when you're in the last couple of days in the world as you know it, and still subject yourself to this torture. I deserve no better. I'm going to watch this until the end, and then count the sheets on my few remaining toilet rolls.

Recycling is probably more the order of the day from here RBM

Oliver and Bradshaw can only run one way, Lockhart, viney and Pickett the rest are just woeful.

Push May forward and Tmac back.

May has done nothing wrong, and Tmac has done nothing

How much football do we have to watch where we get beaten the EXACT same way?

Winning the inside 50’s but bombing the ball to no one. It’s been the same for 20+ games. 

The game plan stinks.

we are currently in 16th position on the live ladder We have moved up 1 position :) 

I guess thats positive? come 2036, at this rate, we will win a premiship

F— off Spargo. 

Cannot play Spargo and Bedford in the same side. We are too small otherwise, Spargo has lost it or never had it and Bedford has a long way to go.. Jones and Salem both missed. for setups and grunt.

If we are bombing it into our fwd line, why are our forwards always leading to the ball?

We are on par with Gold Coast hands down.

Langdon has actually been decent, his basic accumulation disposals (short kicks, handballs) have mostly been good but it’s the penetrating danger kicks that have let him (and us down). 

Petracca has flashed in and out, similar to previous seasons. I think he needs to be pushing forward more though. 

Gawn’s been well beaten by NikNat. 

Brayshaw extremely disappointing. Needed to nail at least one of his kicks on goal.

Figuring this out just now loges?

Was prepared to give benefit of the doubt until this year, there were other issues last year but all the structural issues haven't been addressed. I'm not one who likes to bag the club ad nauseam

2 more months to work on our shortcomings, because we obviously haven’t addressed them in the previous 6 months.

If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

Goodwin should be telling the players this is your last hit out for ten weeks, how do you want do go into this period?

This isn't just the cattle. Structurally we are awful. Goodwin is a 90s footballer with a 90s gameplan. We peaked during a patch in 2018. He's lucky the season is postponed. Regardless of the season outcome he'll probably coach in 2021. But we see the same issues.

I agree. I have watched every game and our skills are hopeless.  Our transition is nowhere.

    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
