this is not the players, this is neeld. the repeated long bombing is awful.

Gameplan is flawed. Will get beaten by every side using it. Almost negligent to instruct this or allow it to happen

If I was Neeld I would have said to the seniors you're playing for your career in this quarter, don't expect another game of AFL football if you don't earn it in the next 30 minutes

Before we all put the team to the sword just stop and think about what's happened to the club over the last couple of weeks. No one knew just how this was going to effect the players, it was always going to be extremely emotional, they probably were mentally drained even before the first bounce.

Give them a couple of weeks at least, then if they're playing the same then fair enough, bag them all you want, but not this week.

What we're seeing today is the product of 6 years not 2 weeks, no more excuses.

I think we now have a gameplan with Neeld so thats an improvement already.

Today has shown we have some good kids and the problem has always been with our seniors.(what has Davey or Green done today)

I know with the Jimma situation we were all expecting something special, but Lions are alot more experienced.(they also have Black whos a real senior player)

Its going to be another long season but I hope there will be improvement this season.

I'd love to believe that. I really would.

My gut however is saying that this is the first evidence of senior players miffed over the leadership spill. They've never been this poor. Ever.

Combine that with a bizarrely one-dimensional gameplan, a sub-standard midfield with some ordinary drafting here and there, and you have your result.

On a positive Viney will come to us as second rounder. Once again my football calendar revolves around one day, draft day. Tell me we did activate all 2 picks. Pls

Once again too many on here believing (rather simplistically) that change = success

It's going to take more than one pre-season to transform this team into a club.

Patience.

And don't say you've been waiting since '64, because this team is Neeld's team.

F/S bidding apparently gets done before the draft, so no we will have to bid a first rounder on him. I'm sure this has been on Demonland like a gazillion times.

How many years are we going to be looking forward to the draft instead of finals?! We need a rebuild, we are a disgrace!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
