AJ appears to have done more than Disco in the pre Season. Reckon he gets the nod

This should be printed out and handed to all the players. We'll see whether the changes Goody implemented stand up. Freo got hold of us on the rebound a lot

And we should never ever ever use that peanut Adrian Anderson again. He hates Melbourne. Played golf with him once and his disdain for our club was blindingly obvious.

The problem here is we get beaten the same way. Chipping around our zone. Dirty balls i50 and avoiding May and Lever at all costs. And we get smashed on fast transition - as do most teams I guess. (i read all replies, reactions and comments because I get really anxious about what other posters think about me)

https://www.3aw.com.au/rory-sloane-thinks-demons-will-respond-massively-in-2025/ 3aw Season Preview with lloyd and Rory Sloane. Demons from around 18:46 3AW Football’s Rory Sloane has praised Melbourne’s “incredibly driven” superstars, as they look to feature in September action in 2025. The former Adelaide Crows captain is confident Simon Goodwin’s side will get back to their best footy and make a big climb up the ladder. “It’s scary playing against those guys,” Sloane said on the 3AW Football pre-season podcast. “It excited me working with that midfield group, a lot of them are incredibly driven.”

We gave up a goal on the weekend with a set play where Brennon cox floated to the wing and took a kick in mark against one of our wingers then playing on quickly Thats where Petty needs to be smarter as a defender and not allow those kind of easy outlet goals. With Gawn on one wing and Petty on the other for kick ins we can stop most run ons....

Aren't we Premiers forever?

Even if JvR was out for the year that is not our doing. It would be down to bad luck. Another media idjut

The Herald Sun 'experts': CHRIS CAVANAGH: Missing finals LAUREN WOOD: Missing finals JON RALPH: Missing finals ELIZA REILLY: Missing finals LACHLAN MCKIRDY: Bottom four ED BOURKE: Missing finals CALLUM DICK: Missing finals SIMEON THOMAS-WILSON: Missing finals Consensus prediction: 14th

So that absolves him from all responsibility for effort? Or do you mean he is above criticism. Asking for a friend...

Yeah he did , rd 15 2 kicks

Then you clearly didnt watch him last year. No denying his talents but his second efforts and tackling are frankly deplorable and these are the cornerstones of our game style. That was what he showed on the weekend When the opp can waltz the ball out of the d50 with ease it pressures every other phase of the game. He has been lazy for quite a while now and last year he went to half time in at least 9 games where he had only 1 or 2 possessions. Disgraceful. You might say he's our most reliable fwd but that is a very narrow view. In a team sport you cant have passengers like him

We offered 3 first rounders for Harley Reid and were rejected.........

Interesting to note that GWS will already have played one game. You'd have to think thats an advantage

Thought Freo really shut down our overlap handball. It seemed each time we handballed fwd out guy was immediately under pressure. Freo seemed to read that play very well. We need to get more separation when calling for a hb receive

Great point assist by Fritsch Is he going to freo too?

Fritsch beginning 2025 where he left 2024 i see

Same

Have you seen him play anywhere else?

Terlich finished 3rd in the Bluey behind Nathan Jones and Colin Garland.

When we wallop Freo it may cause him to rethink any ideas about going there.....

How ridiculous that a willing employee and willing employer cant agree their own terms without the overreach of the union dominated FWC

I bet you do 🤣

The great moralisers of Demonland are out in force I see.

Tracc playing according to Max on the news tonight I think we need at least one full hit out with a strong side before the real stuff starts.
