Clarry doesn’t want to be out there. Missed tackles, overrunning the football, just getting rid of it at all costs. He’s a liability. Would’ve much rathered seen Kynan Brown get a gig. Desperate for tackles that stick atm.        Appears that way tonite very unlike Clarry

And this is why I refuse to drive the 700km round trip to watch live.

This is unfortunately looking like the coach has lost the team. The Dogs are in form but this is putrid.

We’ve had some shocking quarters this year. This is certainly one of the better shockers.

Insipid performance by our midfield yet again. Between Gawn, Viney and Oliver not one of them can run at the ball. All three look about 90 years old. 
Time to play Riv, Kosi and McVee in there. We have nothing to lose.

I can handle losing to a better team but this effort is horrible and unacceptable

Amongst all the other outs, missing Windsor. Provides so much drive through that wing and is a key link between the backs and forwards.

It’s like we don’t want to get suspended from tackling them. 
Just get in there FFS

No fear of that DZ.

Need elite midfield talent coming in via the draft. Time to start preparing for life beyond Gawn, Viney, Trac and Clarry, because it's coming in a hurry.

Never seen so many broken tackles. Smashed in clearances again. Midfield not running hard enough.

McQaualter surely can’t be here next year.

All I want is to hold a tackle, a single tackle,  they are like every other teams are just walking through us... if we can hold a single tackle we'll stop their runs.  

High pressure start and some of our players haven't adjusted to the speed.

Dogs off a 5 day break look 2 gears above us. 

Were they even troubled 5 days ago against the swans? That game  seemed like a walk in the park for the Dogs.

I was thinking the same. Then remembered that there’s no way I can support an organisation that allows males to fight females. It’s appalling and truly disgusting.

Dunno if I’ll invest much more time In this tonight. Maybe half time. This is beyond terrible. I know it’s only Q1 and there’s a lot of footy to play still, but wow a LOT would need to change for us to even be competitive.

Sad to say but there’s something a little fitting about the dogs destroying us? We destroyed them just 3 short years ago to win the GF and signal a mirage dynasty, and unless things change DRASTICALLY tonight they will end that for us officially, at least for this year. 

Kind of bummed, fam 😢

It takes some serious coaching skill to get every single match up completely wrong. Well done Goody.

Can't tackle, can't get a clearance, can't hit the ball to a teammate, can't man up, can't kick, can't take a mark. I don't know what we do at training, but it certainly isn't practicing basic skills or tactics. 

Add in McDonald and Chandler sleepwalking around, and a bunch of kids who are miles off the required standard, and the sooner this season ends the better. 

PS Bontempelli is the best player in the comp, how about we show him some respect and pay him some attention?

Gawn and Viney carrying injuries. Should not be playing. No pre season has caught up with Clarry. I wouldn't play any of them again this season given the near certainty we miss finals.

Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. 
Is Salem best 22 anymore?

Not on form no. Neither is Bowey.

Ah, Brayshaw, Oliver, Petracca and Viney when they were together and on song.

Memories.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
