Hey y'all, long time lurker, first time poster, 48 year old sufferer!

Can anyone give me any (rational) hope that we may win one of our next 6 games?

Our opponents: Saints, Blues, Bombers, Pies, Dockers, Tigers.

Maybe a spirited showing v Pies?

Dockers at the G? Perhaps.

I'm a drowning man clutching at straws here.

It could be a long 6 weeks.

Agree mate, still a bit of deadwood lying around, Lynden Dumb, Bate for starters, as said before youngsters are pretty good, show a bit of promise, 23 and older are really where the problem lies.

Mate, would luv us to pinch one, but gotta be honest, cant see us winning any of those six, especially given the injury list. Here I was thinking we were starting to bat a bit deeper but we still lack a bit of cattle.

We will lose next week.

After that, the next five are at the 'G, where we always play better. Carlton is over-rated and thus beatable, we play well against Essendon but they're a better side this year, not a chance against Collingwood, more than a chance against Freo and Richmond.

If over the next few weeks we get some of Scully, McKenzie, Trengove, Bail and Jamar back that will help too, as we'll be able to cut players like Dunn, Bennell, Jetta and Newton who are not best 22 material. If we can also get back to putting in a half-decent effort and extracting some life from our senior players, we are a chance to win three of them (Carlton, Fremantle and Richmond).

It goes without saying that if we don't put the effort in the results won't come.

It's our toughest stretch all year. The next 6 games determine whether or not we will be playing finals.

And we won't be.

St. Kilda will be absolutely licking their lips at the thought that we are going to resurrect their season....10 goal loss easy. We are rubbish, and I soooo wish it wasn't so.

We do bat alot deeper but we are missing 5 of our best 22 (Jamar, Grimes, Trengove, Scully, McKenzie) and we have have 5 of our next best 10 out of form (Green, Davey, Frawley, Jurrah and Morton) are disgustingly out of form. In a team of 22 if half are out or poor, you're simply not going to win games regardless of depth. Australian cricket team anyone?

Frustrating thing is that we have a couple of Friday night matches coming up, matches that are great to showcase your talent to the AFL. Not looking good.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
