The difference is their HB transition. In response we move the ball slower to setup behind the ball. This plays more to their benefit. 

We have to go as quickly as possible in HB just go for it.

Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

Our forward line is always to crowded taking to long to decide what to do with the pill, need to play on instinct more...

Maybe they're focused on just the new game style because there looks like no oppo work has been done. Doing nothing to stop Freo's transition game.

I’m pretty sure that Fritta was dealing with more than one injury for a large part of the season, and that could have accounted for his appearing disinterested.

Thanks for that. Perhaps you noticed these less than enthusiastic attempts as well.

It certainly would explain them.

Cheers HT.

Enjoy the rest of the game and do what I'm doing.

Curled up in a fetal position repeating ad nauseam.....it's only a practice game.

I've had to cut back on my bourbon to payo for kayo this year.

How are the new boys going?

Lindsay ok but mostly defensive wing stuff

Harvey flashes but not quite there 

AJ very solid workhorse, hoping for more 

Sharp - messy 

Adams - some decent stuff, can get caught flat footed in transition but having a go

Positives so far are Tracc’s selflessness and the Windsor thing will work if we can get him involved.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
