I think I can find better things to do today than watch this garbage.

Good luck everyone.

Thank goodness I have to leave for work

When you've got arguably the best ruckman in the history of the game and multiple generally considered elite midfielders and you sit 11th for clearances, it's either by design or something is seriously wrong.

Goody likes to be best mates with all the players and it's generally a good thing, but far out these players need a good old fashioned spray. they're far too good to be making stupid mistakes so consistently 

I'd drop five of them. But we don't have anyone to really replace them with. The fact McAdam keeps getting games is proof of this.

We have poor skills and no leg speed. When our defensive pressure is off, we are a bottom 4 side

Midfield getting absolutely smashed around the ground as usual.

But no, according to the clueless Binman it's not the midfield issue 😅

Nah, this was a loading week, just overdid the training to make sure we’re good for the September we probably won’t be playing in.

Best opening quarter by Freo all year. Tell me this is not the most Melbourne thing to give up. Just embarrassing. 

This has been a Goodwin trait ever year bar 2021. Teams always seem to have "their best quarter for the season" against us.

Our core players are no longer consistently impacting games. They float in and out of games and even get beaten by their direct opponents now. The best teams have stars who always dominate. Our stars are fading sadly.

Q1

Poor first qtr. poor turnovers  Slow  slow slow

Turnovers.  It’s lazy play. Rivers. Bowey. Sparrow.  Invited Freo in . Waiting for our mistakes  - mistakes mistakes  more mistakes 

Langdon  not ever chasing  

McAdam could not kick 30 metre !!! 

Sparrow fumbles. Fumbles. 
ANB fumbles. Fumbles. 
Oliver pick it up  

Oliver in middle  free free  turns kicks it 20 metres sideways and not attack  !! Lazy - why not attack !!! 

Pickett. Forget the left foot when you are free.  Grubber to nothing !!  

WHATS NEEDED … SIMPLE SO [censored] SIMPLE 

MOVE THE BALL QUICKLY 

ATTACK NOT SUDEWAYS 

NOT 7 HANDBALLS TO TURNOVER - so 2011!!!

coaching tips from Desanto

play the percentages 

Take territory into forward 50

kick to field position - not wide 

Quick decision making 

👏👏👏👏

According to Binman, 99 problems but the midfield ain’t one 🤣

Getting absolutely smashed in the middle. We will lose every game this year to teams who have a decent midfield.

He's delusional. 

About as good as his excuse of loading the past few year to no advantage.

Everyone else can see its a midfield issue except him.

Why is the worst handball team in the league insisting on over using handball?

Yes yes yes. Handball into trouble. So 2011!!! Overhandballing again. Goodwin is fuc-Jed as a coach.

Way too many purple Guernsey around the stands for a Dees home game. 😬

    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.
