Jones - regular brain fades

Bartram - game from hell

Watts - 15 minute game

Gysberts - no repeat performance

Trengove - was surprisingly wayward

Morton - composed and effective

Sylvia - our only winner

McKenzie - had no influence

Moloney - prolific but ineffective

Jurrah - tentative and lethargic

Rivers - just too little

McDonald - poor decision making

Scully - prolific but wasteful

Martin - couldn't get going

Gawn - 2 years away

Harsh on McKenzie, thought he did as good as job as any on Pendles(apart from the last half of the last quarter)

Did he? Krakour had 15 disposals and kicked two goals v Bennell's 6 disposals. Bennell did not hurt Collingwood going the other way.

I agree He had one passage of play.

Whatever his postion is it is not in the backline.

I will get jumped on however I have been saying it all year.

He is not good enough.

Sorry guys just to comment quickly I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to go into the rooms after the game and Rivers was genuinely devestated. He was sitting by himself just in a state of disbelief. He didn't play great but it's not all his fault 1 on 1 on Cloke ain't easy. Midfield didn't work hard enough

Not a bad summmary Joeboy.

I thought Bennell was put to the sword by Krakoeur. Mind you with 74 inside 50s it was not a good place for defenders.

Jones: The weakest link

Couldnt believe how often he sold team mates into trouble today, and how he would seem to hold the ball just 2 steps too long. Critical errors directly cost goals.

He does it every week! Been saying this for a long long time yet get howled down. This guys is the complete hack!

As for the rest - too many mistakes. We are 3 years behind the maggies, and it was clear today.

I find it very funny the things people say about Jones. He is the new Cam Bruce for exactly the opposite reason. While Bruce would dish off to a bad option to avoid being hit, Jones will occasionally hold the ball too long because he refuses to dish off to a bad option. I'll take Jones any day.

Also, let me say that the rot began when someone (can't remember who) chose to handpass to Jones in the midst of three Pies rather than go the other way to three unmarked teammates. Even then Jones very nearly got the ball out again.

Green - [censored] poor form

Jones - not to him!

Bartram - week too early?

Watts - ok in glimpses

Gysberts - nothing overly special

Bennell - shut out Krakouer

Frawley - some awful disposal

Trengove - oddly off today

Morton - kept pushing hard

Sylvia - A game today

McKenzie - did he play?

Moloney - poor disposal really

Jurrah - lazy or carrying

Rivers - outmuscled, wrong opponent

McDonald - played fairly well

Scully - lots of nothing

Martin - anonymous mostly today

Gawn - raw but potential

Howe - will be fantastic

Jetta - average, average day

Strauss - AFL suits him

Evans - tried his best

you wanna back it up using stats? i didnt even know krakour was playing until the second half.... i'm very surprised he got 15 disposals. Bennel saved us from defence 2 or 3 times and effectively. Krakours goals were cheap [censored].....

How was that 5 bounce run through the centre? any other game that woulda burnt off the opposition

Bennell did some good things but I think Krak won that contest - but he wasnt the only Pie to win their one on one.

On the Jones debate - his disposal was terrible (as it is often) but he puts his head over the ball and gets it. I would love someone with the disposal skills of Trennes (the usual Trennes not the one today) having the ball the entire time but until the kids start getting under the packs Jones is always going to end up with the ball.

    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
