Not having another mid sized marking forward on the list is an oversight. 
 

Not counting the super collectors in Melk and Brown

Hey! Settle down! It’s 1/4 time in a PRACTICE match! 
Carlton have much to prove. We have zero.

Am I watching the same game as you blokes we had almost double the inside 50s and got unlucky a few times they aren’t even close to on top. 

Except on the score board but that doesn’t really count in the wash up.

agree but we are getting well beaten in the forward half and not allowing time for our defence to set up.

Goal or slow it down that is what is forward line play.

Last week we barely kicked a goal from broken forward line play

If the new interpretations are anything to go by scrap them. The umpires have killed us.

Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

The team must have missed all the AFL memos this week about the focus on time wasting, umpire abuse etc!

Blues look fit, some structure and good at the fall of the ball.

Good challenge to get us up for rnd 1 with a lot out of our the backline.

So far, a very ordinary performance. I can accept we can be out played on occasions. What l can’t accept is ill discipline and just plain stupidity.  We were out played in that quarter, but gave away two goals through unbelievable idiocy, from Viney and then HARMES. That is just unacceptable. 

The other question l would ask is what happened to our legendary pressure. Almost non existent. I suspect a GF hangover, but l fear complacency. 
 

they all should be getting a giant rocket from goody after that!

Clayton unbelievably lazy and disinterested. 

He can play footy. I don’t need him to prove it in a meaningless game and get injured.

4 x 50m penalties as we slip to 29 points behind.
How much of a lead are we giving them?

Backline is a hot mess. No surprise. 

I see this as a really useful hitout for selectors  and 2nd string defence to see who puts their hand up for limited opportunities in 2022 in the dees defence.

Apart from that just get the cue in the rack for key players early as possible.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
