WTF is all this "Development year" bull. This should be a FORWARD PROGRESS year. Still getting excuses for all the dross thats been served up for the better part of most peoples lifetimes. It took Northey only one season to get back some respectability after decades of misery. Bailey get these guys razzed up or get on your bike. And it's starting to look like the Dons and Tigers might end up better than us this season.

Spot on !! We have been way too forgiving - patiently waiting for improvement - we have every right now :mad: to expect progress - and that second half last weekend was completely unacceptable - I repeat - we could well have been done over by 20 goals if the other mob had kicked straight !

    19 months ago we were the worst team in the league, for the second straight year...

    "We're going to win a premiership" is not a defeatist attitude. In fact it's the opposite.

    But emotions don't like hearing that sort of stuff when they can only see each week in isolation.

    Jurrah was hopeless Sunday, and he wasn't great against Sydney. Still young and inexperienced though.

    My biggest problem with the game was the lack of forward pressure. The better teams right now put a lot of pressure on the opposition players when the ball is in their F50. With Melbourne, the ball is like a really quick boomerang. In and out of the 50 in a matter or seconds. Our forward 6 need to put the pressure on and keep it in there. Our backline are working too hard when the ball spends 70% of the game in the opposition backline.

    I will be going to Melbourne v Brisbane this week. We better put in a significantly better performance compared to Sunday. I understand that Melbourne are young and will lose games against better teams. But I expect some effort from the boys and they need to make other teams earn the win. Rolling over like a little [censored] and letting another team steamroll you is not good enough.

    Play Wonaeamirri and Davey forward for 2 weeks and show the others how it's done.

    Development is a defeatest attitude and the club shouldnt stand for it.

    I forgot that you are either winning premierships or you're dead as a football club :rolleyes:

    Development is the ONLY way to win a flag. No club woke up one season and went "that's it, this year we are winning a flag". My god!

    Enough with the logic dear girl, it is not welcome....

    Along with common sense, rationality, sound judgement, sensibleness, acumen or reason.

    Sunday was bloody awful, no one is going to argue otherwise.......

    But to say development should not be stood for is frankly insane and just plain wrong.

    The club must continue to develop to get bigger, stronger, more skilled and thus more successful.

    We are a work in progress, backwards steps are going to hurt as they should, and the reasons for them should be rectified, whatever they may be.

    But all teams learn as they go, we are no different.

    I'm surprised no one has criticized Jurrah.

    The reason for this is that you don't take the Lord's name in vain

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

      The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
