Rode past Gosch’s this morning. Oliver, Viney, Hibberd and Melksham doing ball movement drills and Salem later on doing some laps. All were moving freely and looked sharp. That’s 5 pretty handy player

Not my favourite Demon, but played a great first half and making me eat my words.

Yes I am going today. I need to get out of the house and scream at some umpires in the flesh. I too was at the Roos practice match but I'm not counting that because I didn't get to go through my

Have to agree with this. Tomlinson should have been dropped (more than he was) last year. Jetta is now done and Tom McDonald is no longer good enough.

If we think Laurie may be the answer at HB, play him in the practice match instead of Jetta. If we want to see where Petty is at, play him ahead of Adam 'The Statue' Tomlinson today. Want to see if Mitch Brown is a better option than McDonald with the faster pace? Play him 

Agreed back. Though most would have given Jetta another shot.

It’s 97-61

No real positives. Jackson looks ok. ANB been excellent. Not sure if you think that’s a positive tho. 
 

Jones looks good.

Why are we not running guys like Petty and Laurie and giving game time to Tmac and Jones.

Defensively solid. Lever and May looking in good nick.

Fritsch kicked straight.

None of the support act putting their hand up for round 1 selection

More bad than good as a big picture, but IMO the positives would be:

- May continuing his great form.
- Lever looking like he's about to peak.
- ANB some good moments as a linkup player and among the goals.
- Chandler managed to snag one. Chance for round 1 maybe.

And all the umps will get a 'well done' from HQ.

its not the loss, or the fact that we have a few missing.. its the way we lost. Appalling footy and does nothing, absolutely nothing to suggest we are going to do what Simon Goodwin has come out and said today.

R1 looms large.

    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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
