GAMEDAY: Practice Match vs North Melbourne

Featured Replies

Half time notes

The pros

  • Ball movement looks quick and slick. We look fun to watch.

  • Kozzy looks as though he's about to cause chaos this season. Big year incoming. Latrelle 'Cuzzy' Pickett has had some neat little involvements

  • Steele looks like he has a point to prove this season. Good old fashioned footballer.

  • Howes looks a winner on the wing. Watch this space...

  • Liking CJ at half back. Quick off the mark and not too bad in 1-on1 situations.

  • Kentfield and Heath impressing with their physicality against an elite ruckman in Xerri

Cons

  • North have exposed us a bit on the turnover. The consequences of trying to play quick

  • Kolt at half back looks a bit iffy. Disposal and decision making a concern

  • After a fair bit of hype, Windsor has been quiet. Likewise Jeffo aside from a really good forward tackle early.

  • Is Mihocek injured? Looked really good early but haven't seen much of him since.

    Not feeling warm and fuzzy about Kolt bringjng it out of the backline 🥴

    I'll support and hope for the best as long as he's a demon but I'm yet to see anything that suggests he'll make it. What are his weapon/s supposed to be?

    Shortened quarter (2 min). Heat?

    Haven’t seen checkers for a while? Don’t know if it’s because quality isn’t 100% just haven’t noticed him this quarter.

    Someone said Mihocek was slung, and hit "noggin". Perhaps they are being cautious, or it's concussion protocol for him.

    scenario training is interesting; fritsch to half back as the 'spare' defender as we try and defend a 2 point lead

    Thanks for that, I must’ve missed this. Hope his ok would rather him miss the rest of the game to make sure is 100%

    Roo hasn't bulked up 😡.

    Mihocek will be doing a lot of the heavy work in the forward line this year

    Looks like he has some agility back again, last year he was way to slow

    Heath, Kentfield look like AFL players

    Need to see more from JVR, Jeffo

    Where's Miohcek?

    Just watched the highlight of the two Pickett goals. Must say, he is looking lean and powerful.

    I'm finally getting a bit of the classic pre-season irrational optimism hit.

    Kentfield is a big boy!

    Must keep mask all year.

    In fact let’s mask up all the boys.

    CJ out on the ground, doing run-throughs, under staffer instruction.

    Testing?

    Very hard on him. Great mark in Q2

    Windsor has been quiet, but he had a good centre clearance in the 2nd

    Gathered the ball and handballed over his head to Kozzie in space, should have been a goal assist, but Koz missed

    So it seems that Jack Steele and Max Heath are doing well considering we got them in exchange for an expired six-pack of yoghurt and an unreliable TV remote.

    My deepest sympathies to St Kilda fans, but at this stage I don't think even Mr Miyagi in a three movie arc could teach Ross Lyon humility.

    'An expired six pack of yoghurt and an unreliable tv remote" that most be the comment of 2026 so far. Love your work little goffy.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
