Worst part about Tmacs performance is that Baku Khamis is playing on him and beating him

We have never had a poor pre season to only go on and dominate the year.

Beating the premiers not good enough for ya?

Far out, bit less caffeine for some of you blokes I reckon.

Harmes also cooked. Absolutely does no damage 

Really disappointed with his game today. Was he supposed to be on Bont? Just no leadership by him in there.

Red and blue witches hats.

All signs point to Omg.

Yea sure have stars out but all these blokes need to be able to play. Skills and intent missing by way too many.

Tmac should probably hang up the boots as should a few of these umps.

We’ve started with all the tenacity of a wet blanket. Midfield is absolutely getting destroyed and nice to see Bontempelli alone again. 

I thought we learnt last year when he destroyed us. Without Clarry and JV, our midfield is struggling v Dogs.

Painful even for a practice game. Quite a few mids missing today but the ball movement and clearance work is still some of the worst in the comp. Its still hard to see what the intent really is and It seems the players feel the same way.

Baker, sparrow, harmes, spargo,  Vandenberg are a big no from me. Depth is really really poor

i know its a practice match and we have personnel missing but its not good signs. can't hit target cant hold tackles and wont chase hard enough

 

One thing that hasn't changed 3 dees up for the same mark

 

I know its early days but effort is effort

The cream is very clearly rising to the top. They are destroying us in every aspect of the game. We look lost. 
Our skills are woeful. Mark Williams has a lot of work.

Hasnt been great but he chased more than many.

Makes you wonder what our game plan is this year. Seeing absolutely nothing that resembles a game plan. Cattle aside we should have some form of game plan or we are cooked as soon as we cop a few injuries

Ummmm.  He played a good 5 minute burst v Pies last year and kicked 3 goals ... then went missing for the rest of 2020. Surely hung on to a list spot by a whisker.

What's this learning thing you speak of?

Can’t see anything in Baker or Jordon to make me think either will be a player. Yeah, a practice match but for mine, they don’t have it unfortunately.

Martin is a great pick up for them, can release English forward

Remember when we traded him for SFA.

    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
