This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they c

Yes, I'm on a power trip - that's why I've been deleting and editing your posts, and banning you etc. Oh wait - I haven't done any of that. I always get a great belly laugh when people accuse me of

I don't buy the leg excuse. McKenzie has had about 2 weeks of pre- season and was on the bottom of every bloody pack. You either want to go hard, or you don't. Sadly, Davey is the only player in ou

Keep in mind that this is the first real opportunity for Mark Neeld to really analyse his players performances after a loss. They always say you learn more from a loss, so it'll be interesting to see what the coach has to teach our players.

Don't take too much from it. Only the NAB. Besides, it's gonna take Neeld and team a whole year and a half to sort out this lot (and build them up physically/mentally) after the last few years and the debacle that Bailey left behind. He'll need at least 3 years to turn them into a consistantly competative unit that can take on the top 5 on any given week and then challenge for the big one therafter IMO. Much patience needed fellow demonoids.

The Hawks kicking skills are just awesome. I don't understand how we can't find players that are as hard as the Hawks' players are, yet can still kick the ball accurately over long distances.

My exact thoughts, their kicking skills are incredible and so far ahead of ours. How does someone who can kick like Suckling slip to pick 20 in the rookie draft.

It looks like Aaron Davey's leg is still troubling him; but if you ask me, his desire to play hard, competitive footy is totally spent. Barring injuries to other players, I don't see him in our side half-way through this year. Certainly not even at our Club in a couple of years time.

POSITIVES

Clark

Jones

Howe

Tynan

Watts

NEGATIVES

Sylvia - Just a selfish player and no good against good opposition

Fitzpatrick - just looks clumsy and awkward out there

Nicholson - disposals and spectating

Bennel - Just get involved son

Magner - Injury (I hope this isn't serious front runner to be elevated)

Watts and Mitch need to work better together and I'd blame Mitch more than Jack. Once again there were times when he should have been keeping his opponent out of Jack's way and letting him have a 1 on 1 instead of jumping in trying to be a hero every time.

You either want to go hard, or you don't.

Sadly, Davey is the only player in our midfield who can hit a target, so he will get plenty of game time. Find me a replacement, and I'll be happy.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
