If you’re not worried about our disposal you’ve achieved the highest level of zen possible.

Yeah haven’t seen the first half Picket but he’s decision making in the fourth has been strange.

Billings has been great!

No he hasn’t, moments of class but he’s a few steps behind in pressure and contested work.

Hard to read much from a practice match, but some positives so far:

Windsor and Brown do not look out of place. Verrall also.

Rivers strong improvement continues. McVee plays like he's been at this level for 10 years

Kossie in the middle for more than the first bounce of each qtr is great

Billings getting a bit of it.

Viney is massive for our midfield

A few negatives so far:

The fumble attempts at marking, particularly by May and Lever

Turn overs killing us, poor decision making and handball execution

Lack of pressure in defence. Bolton must have the pox, he's that clear

Still too many long bombs and poor conversion in front of goal

Is Langdon playing? Just ran down an opponent, so just noticed him

Give me his moments of class than our classless turnover merchants!

Not sure what we’ve done to Windsor’s kicking but he’s now holding the ball funny and hitting the inside of the foot on half of them. He’s been nicely Melbourne’d

Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

Its just scratch game but we still seem lacking up fwd.

I’m not too concerned about our defense. 
They’re clearly working of fast ball movement but the skills is still a concern. Sometimes they’re biting off more that they can chew but that’s why it’s a practice match. They are looking at what is working and what is not.

Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

Conversion was off today but otherwise he's looking ominous as a strong marking forward target for us.

I thought you were backing me up on the whole it’s a practice match thing.

    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.

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
