Sorry cannot accpet Pickett (even though I like him). He must start getting game sense (lack of awareness has cost us the last two weeks)

So sad and farewell 2022 

6-Trac - battled through pain. Clearly our best. On one leg and he’s still a star. 

5-Clarry - scragged and gouged all night. Battled and tackled (12 tackles) and showed he’s a warrior 

4-Petty - battled all night and saved 3 certain goals. Great effort. Great year. 

3-Harmes 👍🏻- better. Clean disposal. One grab footy. 

2-Langdon 👍🏻- ran and ran and ran and kicked and was again in the best 

1- ANB. Ok. Just gets a vote due to his 1st half. But generally disappeared after 1/2 time. Runs into trouble. At least got two good goals. 

 

Kozzzy ok - good 1st half but his miss in the 4th (in the goalsquare… No lions ) was unforgivable 

Hibbo Ok - battled and generally beat Cameron 

May - ok. Beaten but battling on. Hipwood showed his athletic ability and perhaps batter without competing with Daniher. 

Brayshaw ok - tagged Neale(why?) but generally looked tired. Good goal in 4th. 

Hunt - ok. Nothing terrible but nothing enlightening. Did his job. 

Fritsch - ok had a great year but had two costly turnovers. Two goals but was a little off tonight.

💩Salem -just looked slow. Was he even fit. Disposal not sharp at all. Kicks to the clouds not direct. Disappointed. 

🤯Viney - ouch - had to say, heart of a lion and tackles all night but too often took wrong decision. Missed goal chance in 3rd quarter was costly. 

🤯Gawn - start of ‘22, mentioned at best in the comp. But he looked tired. Hitouts to no one. Better with a big punch. Tapped it mostly to Neale and Zorko in 2nd half. 

🤯Lever - good discipline in defence so then why???? A goal down and gives up an obvious 50. Why?? Arrogance ?? 

The spuds 

-1🥶Melksham- one good play then disappears. Wtf. Very disappointing. 

-2🥔Ben Brown - unable to mark and lead. Is he fit or strong enough. Dropped countless marks. 

-3🥔Jackson - omg. Fumbles all the time. So many dropped marks. Handballing to other players under pressure. Shines in 2-3 passages then nothing. Ummm. So disappointing.  

-4🥔Spargo - smart but essentially physically too weak. Tackled too easily. 

-5🥔Rivers - ran into trouble and panicked and fumbled. Costly mistakes. 

-6🥔 Sparrow - terrible all night. Missed goals. Missed opportunities. Cost us. Dumb tackles. Career worst game by far.

Referring to our players as 'spuds' says more about you than it does the players.

Excellent and accurate summary.

As bad as Sparrow was last night, his career worst games was the Queens Bday game in Sydney last year.

Posted whilst angry, disappointed, frustrated etc etc. Feel like for all the years we’ve been downtrodden, our team is really good and could’ve won it again. Really disappointed in the decisions made by several repeat offenders. I know they’re not spuds.  
 

Btw there was some positives in the star ️ ratings.

Learn from it and don’t do it, seriously it’s absolutely cringeworthy (not just directed at you) to read posts clearly made solely based on emotion and frustration

6 - Tracc - hampered but tough and skilled, goal kicking has fallen away

5 - Harmes - provided the link option and one of few who can mark one on one

4 - Petty - saved us time and time again what an asset he is

3 - Langdon - tried his heart out but disposal a bit off tonight

2 - Clayton - Umpires enemy got no protection is a tough champion

1 - ANB for a good 1st half - needs to back himself more

After half time we couldn’t buy a mark or kick a clean goal, they were slotting them from 50, perfect playing conditions in front of 62,000 mainly MFC and couldn’t get it done. Vey sad second half at the G last night.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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

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
