Clear lift in effort in the middle that quarter. But still lost the CP count.

-12 CPs, -12 hit outs, even in clearances, but the telling stat, +12 in inside 50s for a 5-point lead.

Melksham's putting in yet another half-hearted shocker. Fritsch is nowhere. Jones took a quarter to get going. vandenBerg and Harmes are making too many errors. May's a step behind where he was last week. TMac's not a ruckman and not working into it.

Petracca, Weideman, Oliver and Lever are carrying us at the moment. We have a lot of room for improvement and should, if we have any self-respect, win this game well.

Bring back O'Mac. He's a role-player, and the defensive structure seems to work that much better, which is where their goals are coming from (breakdowns in the backline).

Spargo also playing a good game.

But unfortunately you won't see that on here.

Thought Jonesy had a ripper quarter with some nice goal assists.

Spargo is a footballer in a team that plays rugby union

Soooooo many missed free kicks to us that quarter.  Kossie being held on to was so obvious.  Then how many times did we have them holding/dropping the ball and not have it paid.  Were taken high - play on.

I know our goal kicking has let us down a bit, but for crying out loud.

North do not deserve to be in this game.

Jones really lifted that quarter.

Can't say the same for skipper Melksham..

Rivers also showing plenty.

Maybe that umpires  (not sure what number) but maybe his whistle is broken and thats why we aren't getting fks

That last goal they got was very annoying.

Lever leaving his opponent, May not getting a fist to the ball and then Rivers not making the tackle. 

All over them but unfortunately the scoreboard doesn't reflect it. If we want to make finals we need to take the percentage today.

Same umpires as crows game same umpiring. 9-1 first quarter now 10-2 .

That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.

Spargo is finding space and using his strengths to advantage.

Vision and delivery inside 50. It's a huge weakness in our game that he is capable of fixing if he is at his best

enjoying his game.

    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
