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.

    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.
