Each game brings its unique challenges which are different from the assumptions made prior. This is a good test. And yet we are double their score.

Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

The Ump #6 is atrocious.  Dumbfounded by his calls thus far.

In a game like this you look for positives........

Fritsch ... maybe

I'm positive we could use the ball betrer and umps could start to ping eagles players for incorrect disposal.

Fritta on fire. Oliver his usual self. We are using are wings again well. Anb working hard.

We've had a very hard start to the season. Im happy to just get through this game with a win. And no injuries. We are travelling again next week.

We are doing ok. It’s hot, the Eagles have a plan, and 4 supporters on the field pretending to be umpires.

I feel like some of our players are doing well. Jack Viney is growing with every game, Nibblers tackling has been great, and Fritta knows where the goals are.

Koz needs more work on his goal kicking. It’s a raffle. He’s much better in traffic.

Good sides bury this mob with 7 out, it's all about percentage for this game.

If we ratchet up our own pressure and really crack in and win contested footy, we’ll do much better from stoppage and that should hopefully clear up transition from d50.

Trac has 2 contested possesions, no tackles and 1 clearance so far. Needs to lift.

He will.

The Eagles are cracking in and taking it on. Nothing wrong with our effort but our focus and attention to details is lacking. Would prefer us to simplify and stop the Hollywood handballs. 

Yeah credit to WC for putting in the effort but we have not come to play. We are taking it too easy. Playing loose and not enough effort with ball use.

I always worry about games we should win easily that we get to complacent and dont come out to play. today seems to be a bit like that, we lose to bottom sides too frequently. We need them to focus on beating this mob, playing our brand of good football not their wresting match which leaves many decisions in the umpires hands, either to ignore frees that are there or pay them. so far we seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. Given the heavy eagle crowd i dont see that changing in the second half. We need percentage and show that we can beat sides well.

We're a good side but that's just not the Melbourne way.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
