Sylvia - Not a ruckman

Wonaeamirri - Run some laps

Jones - Calm down please

Jones is prone to brainfarts, we know that, but he shut down Danyle (rubbish spelling of a name) Pearce, which was enormous in the context of the game. Props to him for a great job.

Garland is going to have some ups and downs, and will no doubt tire as the year goes on, given he didn't do a pre-season. Also, being punched in the stomach twice wouldn't have helped. FFS why was a free kick not awarded when he was punched right in front of the umpire? :mad:

Of course re Jones, but even his brainfarts are a part of him doing what the coaches want - play on at all costs.

Was McClown the officiating umpire at the time? And that was the second one! Cornes elbow to JW's throat in the first quarter - no report! Yet Moloney was the only report.

The customary safe hands and clean spoils which are the strengths of his game just are not there.

*shakes head*

Rivers by far tonight gave his team the most 1%'s = 11. By far. He didn't give away any free kicks. He contested well in packs. He may have spilled a mark from memory, but he wasn't the only one during the night in Darwin. Hardly "useless".

Some may say he looked slow chasing Hitchcock, but who wouldn't ? FFS.

Rivers: One percenter King.

Morton - hesitant, uncomposed, slow

Rivers - Being good at one percenters in only part of being a good player.

Watts - Better than Natinui

Trengove - good in clinches

Whole team - Too loose

Jamar - taps to opposition as much as our boys

What a joke. Yes made some errors which is understandable when you have not played at this level for 2 months but look at the two perfect passes inside our forward 50m he made. He has been sorely missed. He may be laconic but he is not slow.

Spot on! Weren't those passes superb?!!

Cale will be better for the run. And, Melb will be better with him back in the team...

This, the Rivers hate is crazy, he plays his role and is a team leader.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
