Nathan Buckley’s trying to argue that Richmond have forced this scenario. He’s completely ignoring our inaccuracy. That’s the game right there. Appalling commentary from someone who should know better. 

Probably shows in the big picture why he doesn't have a coaching job

Fritta needs to get on his bike. Vloustin is his opponent and is destroying him and us. 

Fritsch doesn’t really know how to play as a defensive forward. He needs to improve his intensity at the contest.

Gone to sleep here .. putrid effort 

What a  load of crap. We are 3 points down despite kicking 3.12.  Yes, our goal kicking is putrid but on the balance of play we're a 6-goal better team. Message at half-time is keep playing the way we are but just choose better options in the Forward 50 and kick straight! I'd be amazed if Richmond can keep this tackling pressure up but if they can they probably deserve to win 😞

I’m done with Weid. Move his [censored] to the dead pocket and tell him to play up and down that flank only.

Park BBB in the square and have the smalls rove off him

Agree on Weidman , we actually need BBB leading further up the ground

Spargo, Kozzie, ANB, Sparrow nail their relatively easy shots and it’s game over. We’ve kept them in the game simple as that.

Richmond kicked 3-1 that quarter for 8 entries, we kicked 1-6 for 17 entries

We kicked 3 goals from 32 inside 50s. 
Kicked 3 goals from 17 shots. That’s f@$)$sd.

Tracca and Jackson and Kozzie  and Fritta might want to get involved the next half.

When it comes to games like this, pressure games, proper pressure. We learn a lot about our players. Good that you mentioned Kozzie. Anyone who bags Kozzie for whatever reasons needs to watch this first half. I loved Kozzie before tonight and I’m sure we all do, but wow, really impressed by him tonight. Has he had limited opportunities? Absolutely, so that’s why the casual observer, and probably limited knowledge of football supporter, would deem Kozzie to be having a quiet game. But the kid has been willing, and mostly important, has shown great intent. 

I will give you some beyond sh*t players for tonight. Petracca, Neal Bullen, Luke Jackson. Probably more, I assume McDonald ain’t out there.

Translation please.

Gus gave Jacko a spray for his poor defensive running. He lost Reiwoldt and let him mark uncontested.

On Weid’s 1st half , Tommy McDonald back in next week. Weid has to lift and take a contested mark.

There's been a few turnovers downfield just because of his hussle

We are blazing away, just kicking long to any old contest and expecting to kick goals. And we aren't. 
Time to go smaller up forward and get Fritta and BBB room to lead. Play Weid higher up the ground and max or dogga to stay out.

Aside from some sloppy play through the ground, a few guys being really quiet and some strange disposal choices, we should be in front by a few goals at least. Goals win games and I'll back us in to turn it around in the second half. There's no way we can keep missing, right? RIGHT!!?

Anyway.

We'll pile on 12 to 3 from here and Bowey will get to sing again.

We do not need to do anything but put that foot all through the big sticks. We are beating them in nearly every stat  we need to be more clinical, lead to the right spots and kick through the footy.

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
