We need some new blood both on the ground and inside the coaches box. Some tough calls need to be made or nothing will change.

Chin up young Caleb, there'll be plenty more opportunities to generate a match winner off the back of a burst down the mcg wing. He was genuinely gutted and it's great to see so much passion. Future is bright. We'll be back

Respect the positivity but we won't. This list as it stands is cooked - midfield in particular is threadbare and there is very little in the cupboard. We have some good kids but the gap in our list between 23-29 means we'll have some lean next few years.

Too many NQRs, youngsters and we are at least two quality mids away from winning these.

One of those is of course Tracc.  Rivers might end up being another.  Might need to find one more as well.

JVR went missing for long periods tonight.  A bit clumsy at ground level. 

Kozzy bah.  He plays like a million $ one minute then a 10 game rookie the next.

Petty's best game (in his forward role sense) for the year imho but still wasn't quite good enough.  Needed to finish off his strong mark and put the goal away.  It's not on Petty but he kicks that we probably win.

Lever good in the first.  Ok in the second but a fair way off his best in the second half.  Knee an issue or still building?  He just isn't damaging with ball in hand.

Billings & Bowey had a few cameos but still a fair way off the level tonight.

Unfortunately Woey was nowhere near it.  Brown Dog would've been a better option and not in hindsight.

Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

Horrid coaching

As usual Badloss totally out of his depth..OUTCOACHED Fluked a flag and we need to look elsewhere IMV

Disappointing night we played pretty well but their run and class linking up across the ground was a bit too good….i don’t think we are that far off being a finals side again though

Ladder doesn’t lie. Weren’t not frauds - we’re just not that good.

We lost one of our best players before the season started, had multiple key players have shocking preseasons, been ravaged by injury, played the kids every game and clearly not got our fitness right.

We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better. 

I thought we played better for majority of the game and deserved the win. It's just was frustrating when there were calls and non calls that cost us goals and prevented us goals, from the poor decisions we would of had a couple goal win IMO. Meh, it's footy I guess.

It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.  

Clarry gave away 2 metres on every stoppage in the last quarter. Green won the clearance, go back ti the centre, rinse and repeat. I don’t care what he did in the first half, he was poor in the last half, no accountability

He has been our saving grace this year, against Hogan in his best year ever, and you want him to retire off 1 bad game?

There’s been more than 1 bad game, last 6 weeks he has been unable to defend, yeah he’s had a few kicks. Not the answer moving forward and time to go past him IMO.

Giants are a real chance this season . Dangerous.  Our fadeout was poor but comeback extremely admirable against a formidable opponent. Finals not really in the equation now. Good pick coming our way. Hope Jefferson and others get a crack in the remaining rounds.

Agree hole heartedly 

3 goals in two quarters then to let them kick 4 unanswered was very poor.

and yo have Disco as sub, huge error of.judgement. 
 

need some new staff to pick the side 

and bring on 2025 .  We are Gawn

GWS we’re far better after quarter time

im amazed it was so close 

we tried hard but not good enough

It really struck me how we just seem to go along the boundary year after year. Almost to cover up our poor disposal skills.

It was so blatantly obvious tonight the way GWS would use the angles and move through the corridor fast to try and beat our defence getting into position.

I know we've had a tough year. Gus, Oliver, Tracc, Gawn and May all injured.

But geez our game style and skills just don't stack up.

Until we transform these two aspects. We'll remain in mediocrity

Yep that was a shocker.  That and their mid field dominance at CBs early in the last Q probably cost us the match.

Can May ever regain any agility or is he done?

If the former he should sit out the season and get right. having a guy that can’t bend over at all is killing us

was telling myself that disco would be good as a sub at half time, he could take a key back/fwd or help with ruck if gawn was sore, but they wasted him

Out Roffey, Goodwin et al, IMV

Goodwin won’t go but we desperately need some new blood in the assistant coaching team. Furthermore, Choco needs to be looked at as well as Tim Lamb.

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    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
