There’s a couple of hours of my life I’ll never get back. I’m glad I know they worked so hard off season as if I didn’t Id swear theyre playing exactly the same way and repeating Exactly the same mistakes. Boring footy. Nothing team. I’m glad I don’t have to watch that [censored] for 10 more weeks.

Deja Vu! Non existent delivery into a non existent forward line 

I don’t think it’s an ability issue so much as a structural issue.  I have lost confidence in Goodwin

Did we learn nothing from the 2018 Prelim ?

5 debutants, jumped at the start and lost by 27 points over in Perth. I'll take it.

Kozzy though. One player I’m definitely looking forward to seeing a lot more of. Bedford did some nice things towards the end too.

Not yet... but the “ boys are working really hard” I expect a lift by 2022

Well it’s good to see we have improved on last season. FMD. 
 

No spread when defending, bombing it into the f50, missing targets, missing gettable goals and basically playing like we don’t have anything to prove from last season. 
 

I’m glad the season has been suspended because having to see this [censored] again for another season would be horrendous. 
 

imo Goodwin has to go. I know it’s an early call but NOTHING has changed from last season.

Yes   from the last game of 2018, we have learnt nothing about kicking to one of our players inside our forward 50

Let’s face it, Hibberd, Oscar and Spargo should never play a senior game again.

Oliver is way ahead of himself. He has become lazy.

We have no forward line. Tom McDonald is nowhere.

27 points flattered the [censored] out of us.

Nothing has changed from last year and now we can't use injuries as an excuse. 

Today was extremely concerning and very disappointing. 

Goodwin is in big trouble.

Pickett, Viney, Lockhart and Bedford were the positives..

Where was our leaders? McDonald, Jetta, Melksham?

Hibberd is finished, see ya. And im afraid to say, but Jetta is just about cooked.

ANB and Spargo are dead set suburban footballers.

That's the most disappointing thing isn't it, nothing seems to have improved.

We were never going to win that game. Maybe had a chance if the game was played in Melbourne and game was full length. 

i50 delivery has not changed but it was never going to in 1 preseason. What’s more worrying is the defensive 50 and two way running effort.

    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.

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
