Blease is very dissapointing too, 3 or four efforts in four quarters of footy is unacceptable

Thanks PM got out of bed this morning at 5.30am to watch the game on the AFL site and that was my start to the day, great.

Unfortunately I don't drink although I might start.

U r probably the only Dees fan who doesn't drink Robbie.

Happy Bday

Listened for a bit over a quarter, haven't and won't watch.

Two I 50s in the first quarter ! Seriously, how can the club expect even longstanding supporters to turn up and watch that rubbish ?

My overwhelming emotion is just plain sadness.

Was at the game till the end hard to watch keep hand balling there way into trouble all I can say is kick the thing long into the forward line and go straight up the middle the three times wedid it resulted in goals the second we chipped it around someone stuffed it up and we were on the back foot.Two minutes into the game I knew I was going to watch a sh$t display of football when two NFC players in defence watched a nmfc player take the ball on the boundary and kick a goal my grandma puts more pressure on than that effort

We are clearly cursed, that bit I definitely agree with.

And we definitely have the best jumpers in the competition.

It's not that I think we deserve a priority pick; we require one. Actually I kind of think we do deserve one. If seven years of non stop disaster do not qualify for a priority pick then nothing should.

And I'd like it to be BEFORE the start of the draft, so we can trade the pick for Boyd, haha!

Neil Craig spoke really well in the presser. I don't see him as the full time coach but i want him to stay at the club.

Grimes is a lost little boy. He is not a future captain..

Right now this club is very very sick all the way through.

That's arguably the one area where this club has been elite for a long time. Speaking well.

The club was 'wyl', now it is in a holding pattern until new appointments can be made. Thought we might get through the rest of the year with some reasonable efforts but it's not going to happen. Again the most important part of our year will be September/October for the wrong reasons, new board, new coach, FD boss and list changes.

Nup. Gone.

Clean sweep.

Neeld was sacked, time to bring in a new team.

Start with trying to grab Ling, Bolton (potentially his last year) and headhunt Brett Kirk.

Minimum starting point.

i agree, but the club is still in a very bad way.

1 goal to 16 in a second half. No pride at all. Nothing.

Yep.

But i would still keep Craig. We need one constant.

He is a good man.

Yeah, I am not surprised by this result.

For those that are struggling to see how 22 blokes can be so dominated by another 22 blokes - it is not just a coach.

It's inertia. The feeling that attempting something will be met by failure so the attempt is affected or not even bothered with.

You won't run past a contest to receive a handball because you know, you just know, that your teammate won't get the ball and you are more worried about making sure your man doesn't get the footy. So you don't attack. And then, when the ball comes out of the contest, only one team is setup to win it. And they do, and they win the next one too.

You don't run. You don't trust your teammate to get the ball in a one-on-one, so you get in and 'help' and the other team has an immediate advantage with a release player created.

You become inert.

And you get thumped.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
