Play the kids and see if some enthusiasm can bring a few wins, or likely the season is done.

After last weeks game if we don't play Fullerton then why the hell is he on the list? Billings is NQR, Laurie is not an AFL level talent, and Chandler is seriously out of form. When you add that we are playing two backman in Turner and Petty as forwards it is not hard to see why we are having problems. Howes is a fill in player who without Lever  looks all at sea. Surely there is the opportunity to add a couple of first gamers next week how could they possible contribute less than Howes, Laurie or Chandler?

    @old dee, @Redleg; you are vertebrae* in this thread! How could you inject the slipped discs of actual football talk into it - and with nerve pinching negativity at that!

    Back to inanity, gentlemen, please!

    Well your request is my task.

    Why do some people call it jam, while others call it conserve, not to mention the Yanks calling it jelly?

    This thread is like 'barley', or parliament with its privilege, isn't it, layze; you can safely say stuff that would elsewhere be roundly slinged and arrowed! 😄

    That's because we operate under a banner of truth and tackling the hard stuff others won't.

    No one cares what Yanks think.....other than Yanks of course....  

    They've bastardised the language and therefore forfeited any relevance.

    As in..Tonite I'm thru with donuts.

    That said at least there are those around who sorely test the limits of Darwinism that'll probably dial 911 thereby doing us all a favoUr ;)

    Met a bunch of Dees fans last night and they were as feral about the Coach, as Uncle Bitters is when he gets down to the last few swigs from the wine cask.

    Basically want him gone and blame him for all our ills.

    I have a headache atm and they have got me wondering if it is Goody's fault.

    Love the fact we are now playing the younger guys and improving our depth.

    Don't know how we can win friday, but if we somehow could, it would turn our season completely around.

    Naming storms and the like after people always seems a little odd to me.

    Do we do it for earthquakes or wars?

    Even stranger is people who discover diseases and then name it after themselves. What a nice way to be remembered.

    You just never know. Remember 2002.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
