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.

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...

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!

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!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
