are you at the game?

i'm disappointed, but not surprised.

bailey took us backwards over 4 years, and neeld is starting from the bottom again.

it ain't gonna be beer and skittles in 2012!

 

Dee's down by 32 and to think my prediction of two wins at the half way mark of the year were scoffed at.

Yep, thats just confidence. When confidant & centered, the skills flow. When stressed out, the rhythm & timing vanishes in all athletic sports. Even Boxing, timing goes.

I hope you are right mate. But we shouldnt be stressed out in a practice game vs Port dont you think?

What players are we missing tonight that would likely be playing round 1 guys?

Not many to come back in.

Howe is back on the field so he must be ok from his previous injury.

I'm beginning to think my guess at 4 wins was super optimistic

Judging from our past performances at AAMI, this is a better result than normal. Usually we're down by around 60 points by this stage.

God Howe was an absolute steal, always has a crack and

looks stoked to be playing AFL and wants to make every opportunity he has count.

Sometimes I wish our higher draft picks would have the same attitude.

I still won't be worried about the Dees this season until 5 games into the real season and we see where we are at.

I have never minded losing, unfortunately as a Demons supporter you are used to it but what i do mind is the WAY we lose, we never go down fighting.

People looking for excuses already with listing players not out there tonight. How many make up our best 22?

Not a lot in that...

Could not possibly agree more.

This is depressing

Dunn will spend round 1 in the 2's. Martin, Green, Barty and McKenzie haven't done much. Missing Watts - Clark being double teamed and Dunn being killed


Port 13.7 85 MFC 6.8 44

Good to see we have answered last weeks disappointing loss with an encouraging and spirited...

Still not acceptable though..

What other club & Supporters would keep putting up with this except us??

We are being out muscled by Port Adelaide FFS and people say we have improved in 4 years!!

HaHaHa

  • 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.
