Trac is struggling with the quad. 
They have done a great job tagging and illegally blocking Oliver. Love how the umpires turn a blind eye when it’s Clarry. He will never win the Brownlow the way the umpires hate him.

The Swan talls are double teaming Maxy much of the time and starting to win the aerial battle.

Get BB playing higher up the ground a little more often to help out.

Instruct the smalls and the mediums around the drop to stay out, crumb, feed and run it back in to a more open forward line with Fritta, Melk & Kozzie lurking.

A lot of basic skill errors, we should used to this pressure footy.

Jesus christ where is Oliver, Gawn, Petracca, Kozzie and Melksham?

All senior players that have gone MIA.

Brayshaw looks completely cooked with that knee bandaged

Gonna be a grind. Sydney's fierce attack at the footy is what keeps it rolling their way. Need our mids to lift at the drop of the ball

Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb

Franklin gets a tap in the back & goes down like he was shot. May just needs to keep his cool in the 2nd half & not get sucked in. Umpiring pathetic. Someone needs to clean up that [censored] Papley too.

We lost our momentum with the double 50. No need for may to lose his cool. We were on top. 
 

50/50 game. Swans hard at it around the ball. They’re a tough outfit.

Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach.

Max and Jackson have gone missing.

Incredibly disappointing performance from both so far.

Melksham is doing better than you think,.

Couple of bad handballs trying to release to an on goal runner 

not alone but - swans have read play well

I count 3 goals for Sydney directly caused by bad decisions, Lever not handballing out to team mate boundary side, turns back into traffic, ball spills Hayward kicks the opener. May getting sucked in by Buddy off the ball 50 m and goal. And Max trying to chip a 20m ball to Ed surrounded by 4 swans opponents. Dumb footy like this is the only thing that stops us winning this.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

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
