Great work by the senior players. The new kids are finding it tougher this week.

That's ok. It's good.

Going to hone in on the centre line battle of the Sharps. Expect sparks to fly on that wing. Freo appear ‘loaded’  with offensive ability, if it recalls Henry Lawson’s “Loaded Dog” and blows up in the

That is how they train, when the ball is in our backline. We hope for ball out the back, as we lead towards our goal. When a stoppage happens on the wing, we leave a tall near goal, one on one, the ot

Aaaanyhow.. My number one wish to come out of today's practice match is simply no injuries. Still gutted for AMW after it literally happened with minutes to go at the end of the game. I've b

Good contested footy in the third quarter. Oliver in everything, Gawn dominating, Tracc adding some class, Viney in and under. It’s the old crew back and humming with some cameo help from the newbies. Now if I am a “well paid” Head of Football I might be asking myself at this, admittedly, it’s very early in the season, but where is the value add of the “very highly paid” Coaching Department? 

Me I don’t see any added value at this early stage! Hopefully we are holding our cards.

Another goal against Adams ... nothing against him, still learning etc., but bizarre for me that Tom Mac or someone else wasn't included.

The number of basic handballs and kicks that have fallen short is alarming and slows our ball movement down. A lot of them aren’t pressure related either.

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.

Fritta has only recently become 100% injury/niggle free since preseason 2022, at which time began a long period of something troubling him to varying degrees at all times.

Clever ploy by F.D    totally outfoxed Freo...  they clearly have no idea of our abilities  ;)

Well done Dees 

Probably an element of truth to it..... but what element  i wonder 🤷‍♂️

Clarry and Tracc have been massive positives 

But not sure about Ed and Rivers as centre bounce midfielders 

I don’t think Ed has the power and evasiveness to play the role, and I think unfortunately Rivers has been found out against the better midfields (despite his strong showing against weaker ones)

    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

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Fremantle

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    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
