Please don’t ever use this phrase. I know you don’t mean it literally, but it’s an awful turn of phrase.

Nope, because that’s patently ridiculous. What is absolutely, objectively the case is that the free kick differential over the season (and the finals are merely reinforcing that fact) puts the Bulldog

this is turning into an entertaining shootout, way better than last nights bore fest

To be fair watching grass grow was also more entertaining than last night’s disgraceful display of football.

This game is a lot like the Dees/Lions game from last week so far, except the Lions are scoring more in a high-scoring game where Melbourne was able to keep ahead of the highest scoring team last week.

The Dogs are the laziest side on turnovers. Just do not defend or spread at all. Their game plan falls apart if they aren’t winning clearances comprehensively.

Any direction.

Running one way then back the other doesn’t cancel itself out.

Yes. Sadly changing direction often leads to umpires paying the free even if the total distance travelled isn’t too much.

You clearly see the umpire head down looking at the line not the play. Waste of time for review.

Entertaining game but skills are not the best. Port will be having a good laugh now.

Cameron is a first quarter specialist. 

Small sample size. Getting on top of the Melbourne defence is basically impossible. Let's see what he can do for this quarter and the rest of the game.

I'm torn. As much as I'd like to see Brisbane win I've already exceeded my limit of hearing John Denver for this century.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
