GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

Featured Replies

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.

Was going well until moved into defence.

Why was that again?

Watts up forward? LOL - When will we learn

 

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

Neeld got Dawes to the club, chance Dawes will not play a game with him as coach.......


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.

Is that the second time bail blazed away for a behind when a team mate was open in a better position?

He does it every single game. That's the type of thing that he should be dragged for.

 

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....

Amazing how Brisbane don't have to handpass to dispose of the ball. You can just tip it out to a teammate and away you go.

Neeld can [censored] off and take his zone, boundary line, and reject players with him.

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]

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!

 

They just open us up so easily through the middle. Why are we so unaccountable? How do four Brisbane players get clear in the centre of the ground with not a Melbourne player within 50ft of any of them?

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.

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

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
