No Grimes, sitting 20 metres off your man is NOT considered defending.

Sad ending. Does go to show how much we have to do to catch up.

We just fold like a bloody wet piece of toilet paper.... FFS

Hi Jack Watts - just saw you come into view - nice jogging action

Watts - finished for me... I know he might be better developed somewhere else - I know big guys take longer - I know he has great skills.

But he's a big girls blouse - and we just can't keep carrying him in a game where we need to tighten up.

Watts just gave up on the chase out of our forward line - pathetic and gone. Probably a nice bloke - never want to see him again...

Mate - it's easy to run around - it's hard to play footy - mate.

Stuie - you're just wrong. It will be hard for you accept that - but it's a fact. You've got rose coloured glasses that are restricting your vision - all the people without those glasses are the one's watching the game "properly".

If he's injured, that might be why he's NOT chasing HARD

We might get up and win this - but the pressure on Neeld won't be released.

Watts - sigh.

No - you're wrong again and on both counts -

1. I don't hate Watts, he's just not a very good footballer

2. No he's not - watch Terlich

(oh, and 3: "your")

Wrong again Stuie - you're struggling here, aren't you - lots of posts praising him

"And watts is a beautiful kick - and must play forward"

"Good mark, Watts... so he has to stay up forward"

thought I'd save you the trouble, Stuie - this is obviously a bit beyond you.

You fool. got and look at the post numbers.

off to the ignore list for you, Stuie...

Sorry Frankie, what were you saying about your opinion of Watts....?

I can't understand the difference between 2012 and 2013. We are no better 12 months on. It's a mirror image.

Yet somehow we'll be fed lines about the age of the list and redevelopment. I'd like to know based on what we've seen would inspire anyone to believe that 12 months from now would be better?

It's so depressing to watch.

Seriously. We are just woeful. Absolutely woeful.

It's embarrassing. Whoever organized our midfield should be shot. Seriously it's not even VFL standard. Forget being poor, we are always on the wrong side.

Mark Neeld has to be accountable for bringing in absolute spuds like Pederson and Rodan and getting rid of players like Moloney without replacing their role in the team. It's irresponsible.

Every week we lose the uncontested possessions by miles yet we still dont man up! We play wide and as soon as the opposistion get the ball they go up the middle and we do nothing to stop it. Im all for giving the coach a chance but come on. 5 rounds in now and this happens every game! Neeld the gameplan is not working mate, either we dont have the fitness or skill or discipline or whatever it is we dont have it. Time to hit the reset button because we cant get any worse. Surely....

Just heard Tim Watson say Melbourne are not putting in 100 % and thats exactly how it looks they look defeated before they start

Grimes attempted tackle was pathetic

again because of watts poor efforts early in the game in defence,,,, has stolen the players excitement & energy from last week.

they're deflated because we can't be continually chasing tail.

the backline looks better with watts not there,, & he won't compete well enough as a medium tall, won't lead or run when he actually has the ball. he has only the wing left or out! I think out!

I wanted Nicho in for Zorko,,, & Strauss in for a HB flank role. McKenzie in to go to Rockliff...

Next week we need Strauss in & watts out.

Strauss Dunn & Nicho in next week.

Work rate just doesn't exist and hasn't for years my call is get rid of the blokes that don't want it bad enough and never ever play then again. It should be a prevlidge and an honor to get an opportunity to play afl not many of these guys look as if they give a [censored]

Posted

you're kidding yourself, the bloke has been brilliant all day, has ran and ran and ran!, he is the one bloke you should not be having a crack at mate!!!

Unfortunately Grime has run and run and run... and then consistently missed targets by hand and by foot.

If Trengove wasn't pick two he would be delisted at the end of the season. Clearly he has shown nothing in four years that shows he is better than a good VFL player. Making him captain as a marketing ploy must be the worst decision in the 150 history of the club.

what a lost opportunity

Free to air main game and we blew the opportunity to move forward

Absolutly no leadership hard not to question the players desire and their passion

down hill from here im afraid

SO HARD TO WATCH

There's a guy playing for Brisbane who's had 34 touches and 10 clearances, apparently he was a free agent last year... Wonder why we didn't go after him?

Then get off the forum if you are sick of opinions. Isnt a hard solution for most people. Seems difficult for yourself though unsurprisingly.

You need to give it a rest Tiger and think about the lives of the young men you so flippantly punish with your ego.

See you in a month, I'll make sure of it tough guy!

There's about 150 worst decisions to choose from unfortunately.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
