Forwards couldn't execute.

Cant bring that weak stuff against good sides.

I'm trying to fathom why we would play a head to head running game in the third quarter against a strong breeze. I'm sure there's more than that but...boy oh boy

Bog ordinary effort but credit to the Doggies who played the conditions much better.

Our old friend ****ty disposal/ turnover played a top game.

There's a few blokes up for a rest next week you'd reckon, which is now a make or break game.

What have you got Goodie?

Utter disgraceful.

Melksham, Harmes, McDonald,  Hibbo, Fritsch, 

All disgraced the jumper.

Goodwin shown up for a poor coach he is. Plan B? Where was that Goody? [censored] clueless as usual.

What a stinker!  They waltzed away from half back, we jogged around the park.  Backline were superb, Kudos to Weideman and Fritsch in the f50.  Beaten comprehensively.  No system to stop them, poor skills (maybe the conditions) and wilted completely under pressure.

Really disappointing across the board, with only a few who can hold their head up.

Kozzie has some spark, but lots of flaws (pushes in the back too much).  COuldnt get near it with any value today.  

They need another kick up the bum.  This measures us as a mid table also-ran team.

We played two bottom sides and a severely depleted collingwood on a short break. 
We needed to prove ourselves against a good midfield today and we were shown up.

Teams always get us with pressure and run.

We have no answers.

We are not that good.

Death, taxes and Melbourne being found under pressure. Nothing more certain in life. 
 

When the heat is on we fall apart. That is players and that is coaching. I don’t mind wanting to go head to head, but when that very very clearly was not working, did anyone in the box think to make a change? 
 

I am fed up being downhill skiers. This is yet another wasted season. Even if we make finals, we are no chance to beat anyone in the 8, so what is the point? 
 

Sadly Hibbo, Melksham, Pickett, Hannan, Spargo, Harmes and McDonald are just not good enough to be in the 22 right now for a variety of reasons. We got nothing from our star mids, which is an ongoing issue in tough games. And our structure is an absolute joke that falls apart quicker than a house of cards in a tornado.

We are not, the real deal. 
 

Will be a miracle to make finals but we’d only be imposters if we did.

Doggies played very well today; they’re a hot and cold side and today they brought their best.  We weren’t able to match them.

Goodwin that’s why, he always has the team try win shoot outs against the wind opposed to turning it into a bog for a nil nil draw. Absolutely rubbish coaching.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
