Davey's having a purple patch. Good to see him doing well and taking it on.

Posted

50 50 decisions have stopped going our way.

I think we won the quarter on the field but only just on the score board.

Posted

For the first time ever, I've had an absolute gutfull of Trengove. I'm a fan, but he is in struggle town.

And Dawes us having a shocker. Letting his opponent get to him.

I hate Game Day threads. They make me sad.

They are also an insight into the mindset and level of play many d'landers have played at. NFI a fair few

Posted

I just can't see us winning this.

Gawn is getting humiliated. No Garland. No sub. No good.

He was always going to tire in the second half. Humiliated is a bit strong. Leuenberger is a genuine star.

Opinions are the A*holes... Everyone has one!!

Fitz has been nowhere since the first. Surely they try him in the ruck, regardless of whatever knee twinge he has

Yes he is a star, and he is destroying Gawn.

We know Gawn has no fitness base to speak of, but he isn't giving us much in the ruck or around the ground. We had to resort to letting Watts ruck. That's pretty bad!

No way! He was literally a millimetre from suffering a knee-destroying injury. Let's not risk him on an ultimately pointless game.

Garland left ankle problem. Done for the night, not sure how bad it is yet.

What sort of near miss

Posted

maybe Sylvia as a lead up forward? We need to change this up, it hasn't been working.

Posted

viney is just a terrier.

other players who hunt the ball with the same intensity - joel selwood and garry ablett.

i'll take a cross between the two, thanks!

Garry Selwood?

Posted

With Toumpas off, Garland injured and Fitz struggling, and are serially down on rotations and don't expect to win.

I hoe we can keep it less than 20, a respectable result.

Nb Byrnes has been poor tonight, he has fumbled at times when clean possession probable would have resulted in shots at goal.


Posted

Dawes you pleb.

Posted

Why are people rambling on about Trengove tackling alot? Mckenzie does the same and he was picked up as a late rookie. We didn't use a #2 draft pick on a tagger/tackler.

apparently we did

So disappointed with Dawes. He has been [censored] poor, and as a leader, we should expect more.

We are battered and bruised now, and we've given up. It's so disappointing.

    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
