Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

Understatement.  We needed that

I'm not angry now.

Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

Our players just look completely shot.

This is on you Goodwin.

We are on par with Sydney, Adelaide, Freo, Carlton, North Melbourne and who ever else that is [censored].

We're like a ball boy, we just keep give the ball back everytime.

They'd all smoke us mate.

Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

neither does 'chip it around'.

I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

They surprised us with their intensity

They didn't allow us to play our brand

They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

We had trouble connecting with our fwds

Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

Smith is starting to string some games together

The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

 

He won't say the last one but he should

Exact.  This is spot on.

    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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
