Carbon copy of the dogs game at the g last year. get close but overrun late because you can't get away with it when a lot of your team are well off their best.

Genuinely don't think we have the fitness

Seriously though it’s a fair point. Our second halves this year have been poor. Last year we were unstoppable in second halves. We’re a fair way off that level now.

Geelong didn’t look old and past it. Their pressure lasted 4 quarters and they sauntered out our forward 50 with ease all night.

we looked slow, sloppy and predictable

3 goals ten    Too many entries into the D50 and too many poor entries into the F 50 

 

 

fix it

Play the corridor. Make our guys contest without 3 of their buddies to help out. We are extremely overrated and are a system team that had a system that took a little while for others to work out.

Corridor teams, including the appalling Hawthorn team, make us look pretty ordinary.

Gawn and Jackson probably not as '100%' as Goodwin made out.

Smashed at stoppage.

Smashed aerially forward of centre (as is tradition)

If our gameplan trends towards F50 entries resulting in contested marking contests then we need players who can actually bring the ball to ground. Ben Brown isn't it. He barely gets near it at times.

Smashed in the clearances. maybe better with Weid and Mitch rucking. Gawn and Jackson more or less useless. 

At least put one of them up forward for a different dynamic.

Sparrow, Pickett and Spargo should all be dropped for their inept games.

We played [censored] football. Too many passengers. Dreadful disposal. Outnumbered too often.

Also we gave them a couple of Junk times so if that is Geelong's best on their own dungheap, I don't fear them on the G in September.

They kicked 18 behinds, should have been at least a 40 pt drubbing tbh.

A really poor effort… May very very ordinary, Gawn looking totally disinterested, no awareness, so constantly getting caught with the ball… I hope we learn from this as we have a tough run up to the finals.

We had a lot of players down tonight. Salem looks a mile off, Jackson the same, Max looked underdone. We need consistency but I’m questioning the hunger. Time will tell.

Beaten at the clearances, badly.

Our forward system remains a total enigma. Our forwards rarely lead, lots of kicking to stationary targets, our small and mid forwards nowhere near their best. A lot of our forward play totally staggers me. I know Goody rarely swings the axe but Bedford, Kozzie, Sparrow and ANB must be close to losing their places.

If I never have to lay eyes on that dump of a ground or that degenerate fan base ever again, i'll be a happy man.

Geelong the better side tonight.  Congratulations to them.  31 scoring shots to 18 is a comprehensive victory.  Still a long way to go.  Need 4 out of 6 to make top 4.

Salem needs a spell. Has looked terrible since his return and tonight was his worst yet. His kicking lacks penetration and precision. Work on it at Casey.

Out played all night, we were playing at 65%, geelong 95%. Pretty much had every player playing below par and still had a sniff. I'd back us in a rematch at the G or Marvel.

I don't mind that we lost, but we ended so poorly. Terrible skills all day, sloppy, no imagination going forward, lost contests and if I had a buck for every time we kicked it straight to them I might have made back the dollarydoos I lost on a few multis. Tuohy killed me.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
