Dear god that is one horrible team. That back six would struggle to beat the Sunshine under 12's League.

And I love that Godfrey got a game, but McLean was named as an emergency. What the hell?

Were we tanking, and was this actually the best available team? :wacko: :wacko:

11 of the starting 18 not playing this week, only two of those are still on our list.

Mental.

Mclean was emergency because this was when his foot was still broken/mending. He would make his return the week later, to thunderous applause in a gutting loss. Green and Bruce up forward while none of the followers remain. None of the back 6 playing in this game.

Wow.

But it's killing me, what is it we're supposed to notice?

Anyone who thinks Daniher did a good job needs one look at that team. It makes me gag thinking we were actually thought to have been contenders at the start of 07.

Daniher was a joke! Even putting his coaching to one side (a whole new topic by the way) his list management skills combined with Cameron have left us in the position we are in. Still we move on - but I'II never forget!

Got flogged that day. 77 points.

13 shots to 1 at quarter time. 42 to 15 in the end.

Macca and Green had 25 touches each. Travis 24. Nathan Carrol had 21, sheesh.

Sylvia had just 6 touches but kicked 3 goals.

And somehow, in a 77 point loss, Travis received 1 Brownlow vote.

I'm still desperately trying to detect what we're supposed to notice.

I suspect it's to do with our midfield, which has barely changed(apart from Godfrey, the hardest in-and-under midfielder during our years of relative success).

This is worrying, since it seems that in 2 seasons we haven't progressed much in the midfield, which is now considered to be one of our glaring weaknesses.

Our backline is 100% different.

Very different this time round with the whole new different backline from last time and also last time with a key forward the great David Neitz, and also on the ball we have godfrey and Johnstone. 12 players who isn`t playing tommorow but who played last time at subi, including 8 players who aren`t even on our list anymore. Oh how times change.

    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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
