That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

Hibbo will get Butler

Two guys that can play.

O Mac's form this year has been ok and Wagner is capable enough and will provide pleanty of effort.

Hope you’re right but this team looks very slow to me...

I just cannot fathom why Lockhart has been dropped. 

Is there something more to that?

Absolutely flabbergasted, and that’s got nothing to do with my views on OMac and Wagner either.

Don't mind this side at all.

All the players that we've bought in are goers and more than capable of playing the roles required of them.

The only real disappointment for me is that Jayden Hunt didn't get a go.  I recon he deserves another crack and is capable of kicking goals.

Agree totally.  Looking forward to seeing Wagner in the side again.

We bemoan Goody for not making changes, then are gobsmacked when he brings in 6. We are a fickle bunch!

Hasn’t exactly brought in 6 that will improve the side though, has he?

That's the one that annoys me the most.

The others I can some value in, especially with Oscar as the Saints like to go quite tall down forward, but Lockhart has been consistently good for the last month.  

It's a very strange decision to say the least.

Exactly.

Needs to explain why he didn't select Dusty, Gaff and Kelly.

Don’t think the number of changes is the problem and nobody seems to be upset about TMac or Harmes being dropped. They have been [censored] all year. 
I am just confused by some of the changes against a fast team, after we got burnt by a fast team 6 days ago. That’s all.

Initial reaction: Jesus, we've hit the panic button.

Calming down a bit: not so bad. Managing sore players might be a factor.

Fritsch stiff - he wasn't great last week, but he still took 10 marks - Brown won't give us that. Lockhart also stiff, but I think Rivers is an upgrade.

Harmes and TMac well and truly deserve to be dropped, and Sparrow and Preuss were never going to be playing.

    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.

    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
