We’re not a flat track bully team. System, process, structure. I expect a similar outcome to last week. Adelaide will challenge us but we’ll keep them at arm’s length and win by a comfortable, re

First and foremost respect the opposition. Being our intensity from the start, I’d like to see us start a match well for a change.  I want to see Petracca at his best today, he’s having a good ye

The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline. 

Yes that too. But Crows have also gotten more goals from clearances. I don’t think we got our match ups right. May needs to play high on Walker.

Yep especially in our forward half.  Kozzie & Spargod rarely sighted.  Both having a mare need to get VERY busy in the second half.

Once again, Lever doesn’t take the simple first option and butchers it.

It's the game we need to lose to beat the doggies next week.

I'll show myself the door now.

Signing off for the night.

May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

Just remember how much this mob were up against Hawthorn some weeks ago and still ended up losing. Look at how Hawthorn have gone since too. It was level-ish at half time when we played Adelaide last season and we ended up flogging them (even though it wasn’t a real season). Let’s see how we adjust in the second half.

They are cutting up our zone 

Their footskills having been really good for a bottom 6 side. Not allowing us to set up our defense.

Were we too confident dropping Brown?

The bombing inside 50 in good weather would actually suit him. He has a great reach.

the problem is starting in the middle Our pressure just isn't there. We need to lift because we've allowed the Crows to play their game, they're now up and about and full of confidence. 

We do like a challenge but if you keep tempting fate eventually you'll come undone.

100% Some of their youngsters coming through are really good kicks. If the ball is coming through that quick no defence will stop it.

Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

    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 Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    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
