I have but one thing to say

ARGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Watching this is more painful then having a tooth Pulled with no Anesthesia

Bye ,Bye NEELDY it's either that or we basically sack the whole team!

Oops sorry we have already done that , haven't we.

The worst part is watching those Hawthorn Mongrels walking of the ground with the smug looks on their faces .

I look forward to day we as supporters can also be smug but that's a long, long way away sort of like the Never Ending Story!

Frawley is a selfish [censored]. Only cares about his own man, had a perfect view from my seat of him letting Smith run into an open goal, just so he could stop Franklin. Apparently commentators talked about it too. Good

It's called survival, it's what happens when a team has no confidence. Frawley & Garland have been holding back the tide for a few years now, people were talking of 10+ goals to Buddy today, well I don't blame him. He's had enough trying to cover for everyone else.

Watts must go.

Can kick, can mark.

Can't compete, can't win his own footy.

We cannot carry players who want to play on their own terms.

Trade for a midfielder at year end.

He has been deplorable.

Posted

Aside from one miss he has had a blinder in the first half as our only forward. I am obviously watching a different game.

I'm watching the same one you are 'Redleg', he's been good I reckon.

Posted

Yes but it's very depressing that our star recruit is so bad in kicking for goal. Tho absolutely thrashed we should be 3 goals something

The problem is the poor bastard has to nearly play in the centre to get a kick.

If Paul Roos or Bomber Thompson were coaching us today it wouldn't be any different!

The most basic stupid mistakes made by Bail,Jordie,RODAN,Joel Mac,Fitzy are because they are NOT AFL standard.Not coach related just dumb decision makers executed with sub standard SKILL.Those 5 should not be playing AFL football.

SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's exactly right. There is no quick fix. Even culling bail, rodan, Mckenzie etc still doesn't guarantee immediate improvement. Unless we replace them with pendlebury, Thomas and fyfe. If everyone could grasp that, we could all wallow in despair together.

And what the hell is watts doing?????

If we are to be competitive they can't be in the team.

Dumb post. All the commentators said was Frawley "didn't make a decision". He was left two defend two goal kickers, where was Smith's man?

Smith's man is the problem and the reason for the goal but you can't be impressed by this effort. Frawley seems to have lost his desire to do anything but defend his opponent. I don't particularly blame him but it doesn't say a lot for the culture we are trying to build.

Looking forward to punching the first work colleague who stares wrongly at me tomorrow. Defence - Melbourne supporter

Our Top Draft Picks $cully Trengove and Watts cost us a $500,000 fine.

Says it all really.

The whole building should leave tomorrow after the Board meeting.

Peter Jackson. Bring in who you need to work with.

Never complained about anything but his goal kicking.

Clark nails almost every one of his limited opportunities and I know we can't compare most players to Clark but that is his job.

He has been good at everything else today.

Just pouring my first Scotch now. Probably should have started yesterday.

Posted

Well done Dawes. He's been close to our best along with Jones today.

Posted

Anyone got anything to say bout watts coming on like he had measles and avoiding his teammates?

He went back in the rooms after speaking to Mission. I assume he went to get re-strapped or injected.


Posted

Mitch will make a huge difference

And Grimes and Viney.

I started last night RTG!!! U r a bit behind.

how many goals do we have to lose by to get a new coach??

What a great contributor you are... not one single positive post. Time to change your name to Glumpse.

Posted

If you reckon Dawes isn't worth it, just watch his last few minutes. Absolute hard worker of the highest order. Sure he has missed a few today, but he has set up so much and provided such a great target. The new coach can rest assured knowing Clark and Dawes will work bloody well together.

    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

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

    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
