Grant Thomas commentating on SEN shows why he has little respect... makes comment on a demons player and forgets his name. Who should it be but the guy that just about single-handedly ended his coaching career a few years ago... Brock.

You'd think that while not expected to know all players at all times, knowing exactly who is playing in the game you are being paid to commentate would be a given......

Apparently and unfortunately not, maybe he could check the numbers in future if he continues to get confused or senile ;) !!!

Yeah, he's only been playing AFL for about 5 years...

Meanwhile, demons accounting for themselves very well with everything except disposal. The only thing separating the sides is kicking into fifty and at goal.

MFC: 0.1 - 1

ADE: 2.3 - 15

Moloney, Brock and Davey among the possession getters. Davey our best apparently, and one of few using it well.

A quick Dermie stat. Crows are up to 20 running bounces, Demons just the one.

Crows getting touches everywhere. Goodwin up to 12, Johncock, Dangerfield, Bock, Edwards, Otten, Vince all 8+... Not good signs.


Much like the first 3 rounds our backline is keeping us in it. Their backline is far too good at the minute and we need to dispose of it better coming forward. At the moment we don't even look like scoring!!

Juice misses from 10 metres out.... The more things change, the more they stay the same! Our terrible skills are on show today!

Still no goals for us either, getting worried now!

Is this game as bad as it sounds? Bad skills, good endeavour, hardly any goals... not dull, but a long way from watchable?

And however good our defenders are, our forwards are twice as bad...

Miller has a chance to get our first goal in the dying seconds of the half... fluffs it. Should have been fifty for him... Umpires having a shocker.


ABC has some Woman commentating - very irritating :angry:

Yes how awful for you :angry: :angry: .......

I have to say, I've just about had it with Miller. For someone to have played that long in the forward line to be that bad a set shot is inexcusable.

Yes how awful for you :angry: :angry: .......

Juice is terrible again, Go Davey he is going to have a good year i think

Worst game ever!!!

Can't believe I'm freezing to death for this [censored].

Idiotic team selection to into the game with Juice and Bate and then let Adelaide do as they please by playing the most hidious defensive game I have ever seen.

Terrible!

Yes , excellent endeavour but abysmal skills

Pressure and effort is great....skills are shocking. Im watching it live on tele in adelaide and they jiust keep handballing it to players who are about to get tackeled its shocking.

And with that Juice, you are now living on borrowed time. You will not last more than a couple more years as a demon, if that. No player in a growing side does that TWICE and goes on to great things.

For the first time since he took the reigns at the club I'm REALLY disappointed in Dean Bailey. His game plan today has stunk and he actually lied about what he wanted us to do - which was kicking it long and getting it into our forward line quickly - nothing could have been further from the truth with all these stupid handballs!! Plus we went in to the game with 3 tall forwards when it was always going to be a shocker of a day. How Maric continues to miss out is baffling. Our forward line pressure has been non-existant too, although with all the players we are pushing behind the ball it doesn't surprise me.

I'm quite embarrassed by the performance today...

Unless he kicks 5 in the last quarter he will be straight out of the side for Robbo next week... against Geelong. I shudder to think of what they will do to us next week!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
