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?

Lose to the Roos and we will see it hit the fan.

@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 ;)

Dunno.

Our old english teacher stopped us using Americanisms by telling us that they turned one gay.  One went into the cupboard but came out of the closet.

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.

Munchausen at the symposium;

Munchausen: "This condition is one where the sufferer compulsively invents medical conditions in order to gain attention."

The Symposium Attendees: "Yes, we see that."

You just never know. Remember 2002.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
