I feel numb. I sorta expected us to drop this so I’m not surprised. We look flat and uninspired. Our tackling and defensive pressure is non existent. Collingwood playing exactly how they want. Old Sidebottom giving us a footy lesson.

First time for the season we’ve been behind at three quarter time. 

We clearly lifted but yet again didn’t score enough from our ample inside 50s. 

Let’s see if we spent all our tickets in that quarter or if we’ve got something left.

You just know Clarry ain't kicking a set shot

Has he kicked a set shot this season?

WHY DO WE ALWAYS KICK IT SO WIDE?!?!

I think we're doing it deliberately today to find space. But that kick from Gawn into the pocket for Pickett was nonsense

Oliver and Trac need to just play some basic footy. Weed let just get Brown in and leave him there. There is absolutely no physical presence. Zero

Good lift in intensity that Q. Gawn was very good. 

we will win this we need to look at that first half.

Free kicks currently 20-10 our way. Might be a difficult last quarter when the umps see the count and start throwing around the evener-uppers.

Still think we can win.

So obviously a much better quarter, but for me we seem to have gone back to trying to do too much. Taking on tacklers when there is isn’t the space, Trac and Oliver have probably been the biggest offenders at this. 

That said the players have definitely lifted, if we keep the intensity from that quarter going we should overrun them. Game is in the balance, first goal important.

I would be shocked if we spent all our tickets on that quarter. We barely got going.

Pull your [censored] finger out Demons. Playing lazy footy all day,second to the ball around the contest, no run off half back, no pressure inside 50. It's been a very frustrating performance today.

I can't see the Weid playing next week. Just not contributing. 

Hard to argue with you there considering we have a bye next week

would Oliver and petracca just get the ball moving forward instead of trying to side step every bloody time and getting caught? Frustrating and costly. 

Also, Tom McDonald, you're dead to me. 2 easy misses.

At least the tempo was up that quarter but a few trying to do too much and a few who may as well not be out there, Just need to read the front of their MND Beanie and follow what it says on the front and we should still sneak home. Please play Jackson in ruck for the majority this quarter we just look better with him in there today,

Think its going down to the wire. Hopefully it goes our way, wpuld love to just get the win and get out of here. 

Agreed. If we escape with the 4 points we can bin this match and move on.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
