Hopefully we will see 

1- forward line strategy being worked on asap (including no one trying to kick goals from 50 metres out) 

2- Trac and Viney and sparrow and Clarry and Hunter and Salem all learning how to hit a pass on a forward entry and not a Hail Mary aerial bomb into a 12 player pack !!! 

3- players using the corridor and then turning and moving the ball on ; not slow and wide to Hunter and Langdon as safe slow nowhere options that lets defensive unit setup

4- Kozzzy crumbing a pack from front or behind and not on side 

5- Grundy taking contested marks. (Need him this week. ) 

6- goalkicking practice (in real action contests) and goalkicking confidence (including Trac needing daily sessions so he doesn’t handball off within 15 metre of goal) 

Hopefully we don’t see or hear 

1- any more injuries 

2- Goody talking about learnings again and again 

3 - excuses … we have so much talent and underperforming in ‘22 and potentially ‘23

    It’ll be the sole reason we don’t win another flag. 

    Forward connection and turnover transition is what they need to work on preseason drill after drill after drill. No more excuses. 

    Lions are ordinary bar a few decent players but they play their system and use their advantages so well.

    So you are saying that 2 sessions are enough to top up on thd skills ,systems  and available players they have had 2 seasons to get right and clearly you didn't watch either Brisbane or GWS yesterday. 

    Anyway perhaps they might try and beat Carlton first.

    Geez there's one eyed and there's denial

    We left at least 3-4 gettable goals on the table. Get those and this is a non story. Kozzy missed 1, Lingers 1, Fritta 1-2 as well.

    As did the Pies in the first quarter

    The game could have been all over after 20 minutes

    If the players allow Carlton a fast start, say hello to 2024

    Press conference with Petracca on the mobile app. 
    Trac gives a good overview but does say he’s not the best.

    Lots of families out watching the training, which is nice to see.

    They were doing some kick pass drills when I arrived but stopped before I noticed anything (or anyone) interesting.  

    They've split into two groups.  One is running a light defence and forward entry sim (all the usual defenders involved, split in to reds and white bibs).

    The smaller group seems to be practising crumbing and kicking for goal (from the right pocket). Grundy and Jordon are in this pocket, with Kyah Farris White also kind of just shadowing.

    Sestan is doing resistance training.

    Ooops I lied, there's a third group on the other side of the ground from where I am.  Similar forward sim, but too far to see who exactly involved.  They've now consolidated the two forward groups and are debriefing.

    The defence team is also debriefing with Chaplin.

    Max walking around perimeter and signing things - assume things will wrap soon and the rest of the boys will do the same.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
