Goody made a wonderful backhander to the AFL in his presser when he stated we don’t get to play the cats very often at the MCG. So, for all those who whinge about how we’ve always got this as an

Time to step up or shut up.  Time to deliver.  Cats are a top team.  Strengths across the park.  Genuine superstar in Cameron.   We need to show that we are still a serious contender.  All the recent

Geez tough going out there. 

We’ve been better moving forward tonight, if we can convert in the second half we’ll win this. Have been happy with petty taking some big marks, looks like he’s finding some confidence.

Not a game for the purists

defensively excellent. neither Hawkins or Cameron a factor. tackling ferocious

great to see petty clunking them. And JVR. now just need to convert

we have this game on our terms so i'm confident

come on dees. beat this sh*t house team and make my weekend.

Feels like an almost game for us. clean up some of the disposals in the front half and we’ll run over the top.

Reckon Geelong must feel lucky they are not 4 or 5 goals down, I hope we don't regret all these missed opportunities.

2nd half of that quarter was all about exhaustion. Our defensive spread is a thing of beauty, but after endless gut running and no stoppages neither team has any fuel left to convert. 

Great to see JVR and Petty clunking marks.

ANB and Langdon - astonishing amount of running.

Improved game from Petty. His execution with passes is letting him down, but he’s making the right decisions, and is marking strongly. Definitely he’s best game this year. 
 

Billings is killing us. He’s a coach killer - that’s for sure. Hopefully Hunter gets back soon, he is a far better fit for us.

We are doing so much right but not cashing in. The fear from here is that the Cats are capable of putting us away in a quarter whereas we don't have that burst in our arsenal

I’m not a fan of this new game style. 3-2 goals in a half is not pretty. 

We look tentative and safe. If we don’t take on the game we will get smacked in the 2nd half.

1st half

The good ✅running. Defence.  Structure.  

👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

 

The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

 🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!!

    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

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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’

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
