THROW HIM TO FF!

No chance.

White is a hopeless forward. Great kick, good mark, no idea where to lead.

He's better off floating across the forward line and taking marks.

It's been difficult for me to see many games this year (being in Sydney get to see Swans play on both free to air and Austar) but i've read a lot about Newton on this site. So far not impressed.

That's because he isn't playing up forward!

Was excellent last week, yet hasn't seen the goal square all night.

What has the forward line structure been? The radio isn't very informative in that regard.

Robbo and Davey key forwards, and we've taken something like 5 marks inside our forward 50.

Anyone shocked? :rolleyes:

McLean with 29 possessions. :D

You would have been if you saw him against Carlton and Essendon...Carlton in particular.

Newton was good last week and goon in his first game, this is his 3rd and the delivery into F50 is worse than terrible, and i dont even know what position he has been played in but has not been FF and that is where he should be played.

Nice handball from Garland.

Godfrey was excellent too, punched the ball down back, and ran down to kick the goal.

Oh, and look, Newton finally in the forward line and he creates a contest from which we score.

Where has Newton been playing then? Wing? I heard that Garland was on the wing.

I saw him in the midfield, and a few forward flank cameos.

Great goal from Jonesy. What a champ!

P.S.- Pathetic umpiring tonight!

I have seen nothing in this game to make me think we are any chance of rebounding next year.

I expect to see soft, inept performances from some of those older we have on our list.

But what i really thought i would see, was the likes of Sylvia, Bate and Jones stepping up and taking their game to a new level. And with McLean, take leadership of the club.

Yeah a tall forward who made a contest, who would have thought!

Jones with a nice long goal, great work by davey, has really lifted and put his head down after a terrible start.

McLean and Jones have been very good.

McLean is the leading possession getter on the ground, which is a fair effort after 3 poor weeks.

Oh, and nice work from Bate and Sylvia to combine for the goal ;)

How good is CJ's disposal today? Doesn't get a heap of the ball, but he makes the possessions count.

I thought frawley would have rushed a behind, ward maybe should have slapped it through.

Sylvia kicks a goal. Good work from bate.

Our players have lost the plot tonight.

So many undisciplined frees given away, which is unacceptable, even from a young side.

Brock- 31 touches, 13 contested possessions, 1 goal. The champ is back! :D

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

The home-game experiment earnt us a lot of money, but not a lot of points. Good riddance Brisbane!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
