Another game where we dominate for periods. Misuse the ball horribly and let the opposition run off our mistakes and score.

Pressure certainly dropped off in the last 6-7 minutes, but we are playing better footy than the last few weeks.  Some of the usual things are still there - the turnovers, the silly decisions - but we've also seen us play a little more consistently up to this point.

Allowing GC some easier goals, even the ones they pulled out of their rear end, hurts, but I'm happy to be in front and we should go on and win this.

Why do our players try and take it from the oppositions hands when the ump is about to pay holding the ball!!!???

Never wait on the umpires to pay our club a free kick.

There should be a rule, if our midfielder have nothing on offer, hold onto the ball and draw players until there is something on offer. Just rushed players. If you're going to play chaos ball at least teach your players to hit targets and not just bomb.

And draw the player for the overlap.  We rarely ever do this under SG now.  Used to early on in patches.

Geez we look soft

Half time and we're in front, but could be playing sooo much better, they on the other hand gotten most of their goals cheaply. Clean up our act and that stops.

Much harder said than done.

I actually don't think we are. That's exactly what we have been dishing up. The opposition is just not the same quality.

Because they don't pay it very often.

Yes, but seriously, it's obvious the ump was about to pay it, there was the obligatory wait for 2-3 seconds that always indicates that a HTB is about to be paid. Otherwise the ump whistles a ball-up immediately

Anyway, a small thing, but just annoying as it turns a free kick into a contested ball situation

By periods you mean a large majority of the second quarter. Not a lot to show for our dominance. At one point GC had only 5 forward 50 entries for 2 goals.

Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

Melksham, Hannan and Picket in the forward line, all need to do more.

Is he playing?

he's being played as a forward / part time mid.  He's had one, maybe two, clean pieces of play (from mid field).  One was a lovely handball off the ground to a running Salem (i think).  Not much else and the else has been bog ordinary.

Dirty day for Lockhart. 1 free kick against, 1one percenter, and 1 pressure act,  being his only stats.

Its possible the one percenter and the pressure act were the same action.

    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
