Get off the coach's back. Look at what he had to use on the field tonight then you may understand why we lost.

Good teams win with injuries, too many had POOR games

Yet you call it a disaster.  Strange interpretation of an interrupted debut season.

That’s an interesting way of looking at it. 🧐

Watched him closely 20 kicks 10 where from kick ins . That he kicked high to a pack everytime. 7 rebounds from defensive 50 for 5 turnovers . I wouldn't expect any one to watch that Trainwreck again but if you did you'd see he was not good

So another one who just watches games for mistakes?

The 3 word is easy for this game, similar to a few others this season, that have occurred for a myriad of reasons, hopefully some of which will be rectified next season.

Poor team performance

I love cricket.

Time  to take the gentleman's game more seriously - the Dees let us down again - so it's Shield and Test cricket for the next 6 months ... total refreshment! That should give those who represent us at the Club sufficient time to make amends, turning abject failures into tangible ownership of rallied hopes. 

'24 was an absolute disappointment, footy-wise.

If so it's disappointing.

Maybe wise from an injury perspective.

I keep thinking poor Milkshake in the last h and a round last year.

But from a payback perspective not so much. Just saying.

I reckon he shows a bit up the ground but has NFI inside 50. Could work if we had other really good key forwards to kick to but for now JVR and Turner are just learning so you can't tell me he wouldn't provide more value as a defender. Appreciate his effort, resilience, and 33% goal increase last week but his lack of scoring has been a dead weight on our forward line this year.

On Petty I wonder if it would be worth trialling him as a 4th tall defender? 

Could he do a job on small/medium forward? Does he have sufficient pace/dexteriety to match and then use his strength & height as an advantage? 

If he could play that role, could TMac then be a relief ruck option from out of the backline (or maybe too much to ask...)?

    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.
