I'm all for playing on. When it makes sense. Not when you're panicked.

Our players mostly struggle to make good decisions. Even senior players. It's not good enough.

You are 100% correct.

That is a decision to be made by the players, and has nothing to do with the coach. If anything it is evidence the coach is supporting and encouraging his players.

It's like Watts has a rule that for every good thing he does he'll do 2 more bad things

Sorry I forgot I can't blame the coach for our inability to make basic decisions with and without the footy. Apparently he is absolved from all blame that we are heading towards 100-3 loss.

Our competitive efforts and attack on the man and ball are as good today as anytime this year, and are acceptable.

We are losing because our skills under pressure are terrible.

Thank God -Hawthorn is starting to thump us. New coach coming real soon. Great! We might even win a match. Perhaps he could tell wattsie to get the ball wherever it is!

How can we have so many players devoid of basic skill set at AFL level...

Our effort was good for the first quarter. We've totally shat ourselves now as usual and Neeld has loaded the backline already.

Epic smashing coming up. Brace yourself.

You can blame the coach for a lot of things but this isn't one of them.

Your football knowledge is better than stooping to this sort of irrationality. Pick on the coach for things the coach controls.

Watts as the loose man is a joke. Give him a chance up forward FFS.

Wait so decision making is not the coach's domain?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    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
