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

Careful. it might be vice-versa

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 were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
