GAME DAY - ROUND 2

I'd float Trengove for trade at years end.

If he nets us a first rounder, we've hit the lottery.

Would get a second round pick at very best. I'd bundle up Trengove and Toumpas back to a South Australian team for a second and fourth round pick.

or is it skills?

Confidence in the game plan and in your team mates to execute it. West Coast have that in spades.

Bit harsh..the expectations of captaincy are weighing him down....

...oh wait.

Is Watts lazy today or injured? Training reports on here had him with a bit of a sore leg. In a way I hope he is sore because if he ain't he is plain lazy.

Frustrating to watch Nic Nat a match winner vs a player with a heart size of a pea!

oh well back to the drawinf board.. again

Darlings last goal gave me 6 more fantasy points. Was a good finish to the game.

Jazus that game was an enormous, monumental embarrassment. We are firmly stuck in reverse gear and are on the verge of being the worst ever side to play AFL/VFL. Players, take a bow. How many of you claim to have had a red hot go today?

You're way too harsh on Toumpas.

Most of demonland are, and they will claim they always had faith in him when it comes good, get used to it.

Toumpas and trengove need to be traded !!! Send them to adelaide for walker

Let's leave Toumpas alone for just 5 minutes - how was Howe? Fitzpatrick? Spencer? Trengove? Grimes? Pedersen? Bail? Players who have had more than 15 months in the AFL system.

Why?

Still a teenager, second year of footy, actually didn't play too badly in either game, should I go on? Already posters want him sent home for a packet of chips.

Posted

Why?

18 disposals, 7 marks 4 tackles and a goal against a very good outfit isn't terrible, especially considering he played as a forward for most of the game

want a player to pick on look at old mate in number 9, he needs to find some form before the end of the year or him and his mate Tappy should be shown the door

fair call. Why is Frank Grimes so revered? Great bloke but is bog ordinary on the ground.

i agree on Trengove 100% But Toumpas has no pace. That cannot be coached.

His goal was in junk time.

Good point, although I never saw a future in most of those players so their mediocrity doesn't hurt so badly.

All you weak pricks on here saying trade Toumpas are part of the problem. Roos has stated time and time again that the future of this club is not be be left for the younger players. Time to leave him alone and let him develop. Get stuck into our senior players

    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

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’
