Spargo can't kick & Hibbert just wants to bang it long & high. Nothing has changed from last season. Still a rabble.

Here's hoping he can drill one into Spargo's melon.

Might knock some sense into Charlie, and Hibbo would finally have hit a target!

we have a game plan that is a an absolute disaster. they get the ball and have free players all over the ground, they have heaps more uncontested possessions. chip it into their forward line and kick goals. When we get the ball they cover our players and win the ball back, spread away kick to free players. Oliver's example of how not to chase sums up many of these players attitude tonight. At times i have seen our players turn away from the eagle player with the ball to cover their own man instead of putting pressure on the man with the ball. our players are too far away from their man to put them under pressure even if they fumble.

Viney and Pickett are the only two players that have turned up to play.

Stop watching and go to Dan Murphy’s urgently. Apparently there is a run on booze ATM and beer sure to go the way of dunny paper.

Very lazy. Saw a shot of Oliver casually jogging after an eagles player like we were 100 points up. 
 

Players still don’t get it. FMD.

The sooner Hibberd retires, the better off our backline will be. He never covers his man properly and his run and long bombs are more damaging to us than our opposition. He must be the least effective kick in the entire league. A big fall from his All Australian level a few years ago. Get Rivers in to replace him and be done with it.

2020 over before it started, COVID19 or not!

They’d actually be doing me a favour if they ran out.

Well, that’s pretty much how we’re playing.

That's not the game plan, that's the work rate. Or lack of.

Yep, that one is not Goodwin's fault.

However if he can't get them to play for him, then he is for more trouble and heat than he already is (or should be)

I’ve been a fan of Hibberd for a long time but what is his kicking efficiency today? Awful, and poor decisions as well. 

He’s not alone though, I’d like one of the tasks (call it homework) of the players to be to do some simple maths. Like, “what are the odds of player A winning the contest against 2/3 opponents?”

Frittas going to have to get a lot better delivery if he’s going to take out Maxy’s Coleman prediction.

Jesus Brayshaw is a massive disappointment. 

Id easily be happy if we used him as a trade option come end of year.

We obviously still haven’t fixed the issues about kicking into fwd50. Maybe we will have the whole year to work on that.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
