Oliver is now a fully fledged turnover merchant.

Of course he is, but no, you can't say that on here because hea a protected species. 

Costs us goals every week.

McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

what a terrible quarter of football, we gave them most of those goals with absolutely braindead football, turnovers and total lack of skill. is this another game where we came in thinking we got this, we dont need to do anything. kick the first couple of goals and go into this is easy mode and just blow it all over the ground. something needs to be done about the attitude melbourne players show out there, no respect for their opponents, not manning up, not chasing, not tackling, no idea.

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

We've never had an NT following...

It's a money trip

In our defence handball and run in to the wind is smart but you got to know when to get numbers up and play percentages

Just wondering how Freo can have such a following when they are not a big club or popular at all.

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.

Our midfield has been okay though today. We're losing through turnover. It's very concerning that a team like Freo scores 5.2 in the first quarter. We are badly out of sync.

Can we revisit selling this game?

I get the revenue but don't we want to win games first?

Our record here is not good enough for the cash.

Fritsch couldn’t stick a tackle on an Auskick kid today. Players are just walking past him.

21 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

appalling skills

Yes, perhaps that’s a by-product of valuing Effort (contested possession) over every other facet.

Posted (edited)

Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

Weve become such a predictable and boring side. Contest defence, contest defence. Where is kicking goals in our list of priorities.

Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 position.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    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
