Grundy and Gawn need to run Jackson around ragged and tire him out

Soft insufferable display. This game plan is complete trash. I can count on one hand the players out there today who give a stuff about winning.

What a disappointing performance. 

Our midfield skill and aggression is not just off - it’s well below our best. We have  come way back to the pack and in some area starting to fall behind.

Are we getting paid by the handball??’n

 WHY ALL THE HANDBALLS?

And why do we always look so mental f going forward?

Truth is we need to win today because we’re not going to bear better teams playing like this.

ANB needs to do more, I know there's a lot of love for him on Demonland. I just can't see the value he adds to our list and overall gameplan.

Thank heavens for the defence. Nothing happening forward of the ball. Langdon can’t get into it. Spargo of his game. 

 

Are we being out coached? (non rhetorical question)

Worst half of footy for the year 

worst than v lions 

worst than v bombers 

worst than v port 

overhandballing is horrible 

ineffective inside 50

going wide going wide and wide 

Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative

Think Longmuir has coached this well, game is not on our terms at all and it's near impossible to score.

Longmuir and Lyon are ugly coaches. It's putrid football to watch. Neither team will win a flag playing oppressive football. The strategy is to minimise the deficit and steal a win. Onviously you do everything you can to win but it's terrible for the game. 

Thankfully given how poorly we are playing our defensive structure is tight and back to being the best part of our game.

Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

We’ve tried that at times but certain players don’t have the skills.

We can revel in a time where Melbourne is OK to good vs what we have been in recent memory, but if we do we ignore the fact that we just aren’t doing very well (beating up on easy beats) and we could do so much better. We’re out coached and wasting generational talent and it’s frustrating. I’m not a sad sack I just know the better teams in recent history have not frustrated their fan bases as much as ours does.

What are we doing!!!???

    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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
