He's really got the yips. He's Ian Baker-Fritsch.

Every year, I end up with post-of-the-year. I now have it. This is pure gold. For me and my household, this nickname will now stick (unless he fixes his goal kicking).

I'd give Mitch Brown another contract in a heartbeat if I had to make the decision. Surprisingly intelligent footballer.

I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

our third quarters are statistically our worst

Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect. 

It was a selfless percentage play for sure - a tougher kick on the run on his right foot at that angle vs Hunt in perfect location - my heart was in my mouth from Weid's heavily weighted handpass but can't complain about the result!

His value taking a huge hit.

How many first round picks can we give them for him? Too soon?

Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

Really needs to fix this.

For his size, he does very well in marking contests.

How good was Oliver's second quarter? Sure, the Essendon midfield is laughable, but he is close to unstoppable when he takes the game on. Still my favourite player. Sorry Trac. ?

Terrible option Weideman, the exact opposite of what we need going inside 50.

Basic mistakes again and again.

Dons putting zero pressure on our mids. They are a rabble. Woosha's legacy tarnished. 

Reckon there will be a conga line waiting to leave.

He got to close to man on mark so had to kick under it. Didn’t look good kicking to 2:1 with one being spargo

That blonde umpire is probably one of the worst I have ever seen. No understanding of how a game plays out, no sense of occasion, just completely clueless. We’ve had more of our share of him this year.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
