Harmes and Viney drove me nuts despite the result. I think it was @Jaded in the gameday thread (dangerous territory I know) that suggested Harmes needs to play like Harmes and not like the Bont. Fair call.

Or as Callahan said many years earlier...

Made the mistake of reading the end of the game day thread to read 11 of the last 12 whinging about inaccuracy, Viney and Harmes. What a sorry bunch a lot of you are. We sat on a plane for 8 hours yes

For those complaining about goal kicking accuracy, it probably pays to get a little more forensic than merely looking at goals and points. I find the AFL app (surprisingly) good at giving a break

A good win and one to take some really good positives out of it. It was a bit of a training drill and honestly dont mind that we dropped off a little. Still had 7 shots at goal, so not like we ju

I know this is a post game thread but with this performance Dew is surely going to come under the spot light and I wouldn’t be surprised of another player exodus. I reckon we prey on some of their more experienced talent where they may want to experience success and finals in place of $$$ I know they are after leadership and would not want to part way with someone like Touk but he would be such an asset to our midfield brigade. I’d take him over Maynard and another forward option. Anybody know his contract  situation? 

I want Rowell. Don’t care about contracts. Just do it!

Not much to add to the Harmes and Viney thread, other than they left Fritch out. Someone needs too explain to Viney, you must move the ball forward at all costs. Don't grab it and put it under your arms and expect that you will not be tackled.

Fritch, really needs to run to the ball our ball carriers. Just some simple skill and technical ideas.

Rowell was a little dirty swinging his elbows around in the contest, didn’t like that

Few penalties for such dangerous deliberations; as these offences were so repetitive, I was really surprised that the umpires did not notice these elbowing-multiples-on-any-Demon-target-in -range, not once. His brief from the coach must have been pre-approved by the whistle carriers, prior to the match. Good old brown paper bag stuff?

I should mention as well that we just passed the tenth anniversary of 186. What better way to show that those days are well and truly behind us?

Bowey was good and hopefully he can hold his spot and become a dangerous kick from half back which in turn releases the lock down on Salem a bit. 
Dogga good, looked up and about early and competed well in the ruck.

Great to see Brown kick straight early and help put pressure on the scoreboard. 
Clarrie is a star. Just took back top spot in coaches award.

Pressure was great and must be harped upon all week so they know it must be there all game every game. 
Hope Tmac is alright but tbh I’d nearly leave him in Melbourne and play a smaller forward line vs WC

Straight kicking early makes so much difference..

You say that like it's factual.

Its a quote from leigh Mattehws during his time coaching the Lions.. re: the statistic in question.

I don't know if its factual, but I suspect Matthews does.

it is interesting that a team that gets beaten by almost 100 points has the same number of frees, Just thought the consistency was  non existent,

Look what happens when you appply forward pressure. 

A good result against a pizz weak opposition so it is hard to take anything from the game.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
