Channel 7 played the 2001 game between Essendon and North Melbourne this afternoon. The one where Essendon came back from 69 points down in the second quarter.

Somehow, I don't see a repeat of that happening today.

A lucky first goal from a turnover, then TEN UNANSWERED goals.

"The hardest team to play against" sounds about as sincere as "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead"

Both need to go

Let's face it most of their goals have come from turnovers as well.

Why on earth does the MFC Board persist with a coach who so clearly is failing? The players are nowhere near as bad as this.

I think I worked out our game plan - handball to a man under pressure until the team loses possession

No inside 50's 13 minutes in...

Has a coach ever been sacked at half time??

Neil Balme (i think) about Round 10 1996 at Waverley Park i believe .... Diamond Jo met with him during half time to deliver the news (someone else may know more about this ...i was probably half plastered on the day lol but that's how i remember the call when listening on my tranny. I think it was KB calling the match)

Sad thing is... I called it. There were very satisfied with themselves last week and have let themselves go to sleep.

Peter Jackson, I implore you. Ron Joseph sacked Gary Buckenara while he was up there as a temporary CEO. There is a precedent there...

I've had enough. Get rid of this bloke. He is killing the football club.

P.S. Funny how SCH, Jumbo and so on don't make appearances during these game day threads.

I think we may be seeing the last of Mark Neeld this weekend..with Hawthorn and Collingwood to come, the carnage can only get worse. Change is a must...our club is dying!

Watts was pretty much the only bright spot for that quarter. Attacked the ball and was involved in our only string of uncontested play (Davey, Watts, Dawes, Howe), where Jetta again failed to attack the ball when it was kicked to him at the top of the square. Davey also failed to attack the ball in a separate incident.

Probably trying to impress his new employer ;-)

Lol, the communication are down in our coaches box, probably explains why we have played a little better last 3 minutes.

Communication has been down since round 1..... 2012

As a 50 years + demon supporter I am starting to believe "enough is enough".

Another failed experiment.

Time to move on - but to where ?

Some of our players are not even VFL standard.

At least their supporters are elite.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
