I swear some people just say things to conform. Newton has done more than Jurrah, Davey, Macdonald etc.

Certainly had 3 times the output of Kosi..

At least he actually chases.. more than Davey can say.

Two poor first half efforts from Newton were taken straight up the other end for goals; the second one he missed from 10m. Kosi hasn't cost them a goal yet.

Though I agree what you say about effort compared to the others, though I thought MacDonald's been OK.

You are a dreamer mate. What a loser he is. He is totally useless. So is Davey. Don't try and hang your hat on the fact he is better than Davey today. My gran would better than Davey today. IN fact this year.

Hey

I just heard the AFL apologist luke Darcy ( Anndrew Demetriou look at me ) suggesting Stephan Martin is just a ruck man

Martin will benefit enormously from having the responsibiliy

in the next 5 -6 weeks he will IMO have break out game ( Kotsitiskii What a dud)

I look forward to Jamar and Martin taking teams apart later in the season

Darc ypls stop trying so hard you are an embarrassment

I agree but he also has gotten 2 HTB for, which one created a goal.. ahh well. Your points are valid, I just think we always have our whipping boys.

On a side note, with Tapscott and now Bartram out.. Strauss and Blease to come in for debut IMO

Davey's defensive effort in the first half was a shocker. Darcy nearly had a stroke and rightly so. Let's see if he pulls his finger out in the second half as Bennell got burnt for similar efforts last week. Some of Juice's efforts also badly lacking in intensity. The rest going ok. Like the look of Evans.

newtons not a whippin boy, he is just plain average and useless

he is the same as the average soft supporters who find positives in his game

Because people disagree with you they're soft?

Davey's problem is that his tank is the size of a Vespa. This makes him so easy to tag, because he's not capable of burning them off. He relies on bursts of effort, and it's just so easy to hold him off the pack all game. He doesn't have the physical attributes to beat a tag, so he's going to rely on his teammates to help him. But nobody helps him because we don't play as a team - it's all about "player development".

I am sick of this team.

I am sick of the costly mistakes due to thought process.

I am sick of the lack of running when we turn over the ball going forward.

I am sick of the senior player's not wanting to lead and play for the club.

I am sick of the mid week excuses about not playing hard enough for 4 QTR's.

I am sick of Green and Davey's performance.

I am sick of injuries to this young team.

I am sick of Bailey being so supportive and calm when we are playing [censored].

I am sick of the wasted opportunities in the FWD 50.

I am sick of this team.

We will not win a flag in the next 2 - 3 years. This game was there for the taking and no-one stood up.

Yeah but, we have injuries.

Yeah but, we have suspensions.

Yeah but, we are a young side.

Yeah but, we have a poor record at the Dome.

Yeah but, St kilda played a grand final last year.

Yeah but, I am sick of this team.

Im sick of all of the excuses, have been following the Dees since 1955. Sick of the club hanging onto players who dont have any heart. Bailey needs to go. Living in QLD is so frustrating, dont get to see many games but when we do get to see them they dont show any heart.

I thought our intensity today was good.

I thought I run and spread was good (at times)

I thought we were strong around the packs with special mention to Sylvia and Gysberts and Jetta.

Good leadership shown by Green, Sylvia, Rivers and Jones

Our delivery into the forward line is either too easy to read and therefore cut off, or misses the target by enough to make it difficult to score. It rebouncs too easily.

At significant moments St. Kilda's class showed out.

At other significant moments, our young kids showed how young they are.

Davey should be embarrassed with his effort.

Newton (not our worst player) showed moments of being scared, not committing, and lacking any sign of being able to play at AFL standard.

Considering our injury list and even though I hate losing, I wasn't as appalled today as I have been during other games.

I don't think they lack heart. They just look like they don't know what to do. They battle so hard to get to a critical point in the game - this week, they level the scores halfway through the third quarter after being behind all day - and then ... what the hell do we do now? Their "player development" coaching doesn't equip them for what needs to come next.

We just have to support our young players. The Leaders will come.

Losing Tappscott was a huge moment..He is a big boy.

Stick Fat Peeps.

You think they don't know what to do?? Let me get this straight, you think, Aaron Davey doesn't know what to do?? Cause that's what Mark_Tuckwell was talking about, older players not having any heart. Aaron Davey is a leader of this club, and up until this year, rightly so. If he doesn't know what to do, then he really does need to be sacked. Not only should he know what to do, but he should run around bloody well telling everyone else too. What are our kids meant to learn from leaders who WALK around quiet as mice, with terrible body language and struck mute. They only see bad examples and inevitably, those bad examples are what shape them as players. We are doomed if these senior players can't work it out.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
