Pickett oozes class

We've got ouselves a player

Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me.

BT can’t tell Langdon and Hunt apart. The confused silence when Langdon got it, he called Hunt, and then Langdon passed it TO Hunt was pretty funny.

I’d be mad but I’ve got to admit that on the far camera angles I’m struggling too.

Endeavour and intensity looks much better than last couple of weeks.

Probably taking it on a bit TOO much at times, but I'd rather see that than playing exclusively around the boundaries.

Tidy up execution and we'll be looking good

Had my phone charging for the first qtr here now!

Happy with the first qtr, the intensity is good and I don't feel Richmond's goals are coming from good play. Speed of ball movement will give us a chance.

A lot of people being critical! Our effort is good, our midfield well on top, just poor delivery too often.

Majority of the criticism is about this to be fair.

All Richmond's goals came from turnovers and decision errors. 

In passages, starting to look like a team. Going take half the season to get it more consistent.

Still would have preferred O'Mac, and VDB is going to need more than a couple of games to get back to his best.

We got lucky with Richmond missing some very easy goals and Riewoldt and Lynch dropping sitters inside 50. Vandanberg missed an easy pass to McDonald inside 50 but that is just Vandanberg rather than an unlucky passage of play.

I saw a defender make no second effort while the ball was still in play. He walked to an opponent to watch him take an easy mark. Terrible passage of play. Very disappointing.

Clean up our kicking and we’re away. Effort and energy is excellent. Big difference in the style of hand balling between the two sides: we handball to someone next to us, who then has to do the same thing, before we eventually get caught. Richmond handball to someone 5 meters away.

They look and play remarkably similarly. But Hunt’s hair is much more luxurious. Langdon wishes he had Hunt’s hair.

entertaining quarter of footy

they're just that little bit quicker, little bit cleaner than us - as they should be, being premiers two of the last three years

if we can clean up our overuse of the pill and not do that one-too-many handball thing in close that we insist on doing we're going okay

    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

    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
