What frightens me is that I think we WERE treating it as a dress rehearsal...

And this is all we could come up with...

It's going to need a huge turnaround to even be competitive against Hawthorn, even with their missing players. :o

From Whispering Jack

3 1/4 Time:

Melbourne 9.8.62

Kangaroos 19.10.118

When asked if there was anything else to report, Whispering Jack replied, "No!"

very disappointing result... while our backline was missing some players, our midfield and forward lines were almost full strength...

The season cannot come around quick enough for us. While it's ok to say we are still learning to deal with new game plan's and young players and testing depth, i am sick of losing, it seems to be a culture we have embraced of late.

I for one am very dissapointed with our pre season form, no wonder no one rates us or takes us seriously... i'm a little over it actually!

Agree. I've been saying this all along. Playing all the kids in the NAB Cup was a cop out. If anything, Geelong should have rested all their senior players. Our senior list needs to grasp the new game plan more than the kids.

We continually lose, then we wonder why our membership is poor.

NOt one win in any match and didnt really look like it, it's not losing that is getting me p!ssed off, it's the way we are losing.

I'm out, going to have a beer and kick the footy with my daughter, her enthusiasm would nt go astray in the current list...and she is only 16 months old.

Melbourne [censored] me at the moment...

I'm generally very positive during preseason, regardless of what happens.

But [censored] this really isn't good enough.

There are some real problems down there.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
