There should be a rule against the umpires changing the interpretation of the rules over the course of the season and from week to week.

Bring in, Mc Donald,Sylvia,Jurrah,Wona,Gysberts,Cheney,Bennell

That's right let's bring back the players who starred last week at Casey in that glorious 20 goal defeat! :wub:

We're not this bad. We just don't know how to play AAMI. We are a MCG team and only a MCG team. I think we'll always struggle when we play interstate. It's just the Melbourne way. Had this game been in Melbourne, we'd have won (but we'd only be on 3 wins because the earlier game against Adelaide would have been at AAMI...)

We just continue to struggle like lost cattle when we play against a zone.

North and West Coast are two games that come to mind. It's so obvious we struggle immensely against that type of defense. Why not counter it?

Adelaide are playing that zone, and then their counter attack is KILLING us, straight down, 4-5 uncontested marks, for the goal. The zone KILLS us.

No , we are this bad.

Our first half work rate and intensity was disgusting!

Watching Might ducks on 7two. Should I turn it back?

Depends whether you like watching spirited, inspiring comebacks.

If you do, stick to Mighty Ducks, Fox Sports is showing a team show up for 15 minutes of a contest and get flogged by 8 goals.

Lost the plot now. 15 minutes of good football, then once Adelaide settle, the zone kills us...again.

Bruce goal! End to end. Coast to coast, if you are a w@nker. Bring out the witches hats.

Shocking, isn't it?

Still some hope!

All i can say is thank god we have Bate in the forward line.

Bit of urgency in this quarter. Adelaide have failed to capitalise. We MUST take advantage of that. Should have beaten an inaccurate Magpies. Can beat an inaccurate Adelaide.

BUT GOD DAMN THOSE SLOW STARTS! MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!

Posted

I was JUST thinking that. The margin got cut back to 33 earlier. I may not have Foxtel, but I could tell Adelaide were slowing. Three goals from that and it's 15 points, which isn't much of a lead in today's game.

Now it's 25 points. If the Dees come out and nail the first two, it's gonna get good.

its embarrassing we get this close

29 to 14 scoring shots says it all

will still lose and still a pathetic effort

bruce, bartram, grimes, scully, trenners have been the best

Our run of victories in the premiership quarter continues. Shame about the other 3 quarters.

I wonder what we'd be like if we played 4 good quarters a match. It seems unthinkable.

Posted

they are a man down on the bench, so we will/should over-run them to an extent, wether it is 25 points worth i dunno, but we give sides 5 goals start each week and make it incredibly hard for ourselves

Posted

I predict a draw.

I predict a 10 point loss

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
