Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate.

How we start this quarter will be everything.

Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever.

wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

clutching at straws

How so? 

But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

Many of us called him to be dropped.

Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

Fritta is awful 

Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

    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
