Sitting here watching the game i always try and look for any positives i can when we lose and today i dont think i can find 1 positive out of this game. Not 1. Tyson was ok in 2 two quarters and dunn wasnt terrible. Thats as positive as it gets. How can we hope to win a game this year if we cant beat a depleted st kilda and gws? Anybody?

Our Percentage has improved. That's all i've got.

Neither St Kilda or GWS (at home) are easybeats.

Just saying.

. Yeah....another pathetic choice of coach :-((( [nothing to do with the players]

Players dont choose the sub.

Posted

I think that may have been our last chance to win with this current line up.

Might change with Hogan and or Dawes back but i can't see us winning a game from here without either of them back and fully fit.

What happened to Blease today btw? Just an emergency it seems

Roos, really pees me off not starting JKH....couldve been a different story in these conditions.

The problems are a bit bigger than one player.

Posted

Relax. We've shown a little today. For starters, we don't have a forward line.

Anyone who lists that lazy spud in their favourite players is clearly clueless with regards to football and as such has no right to say others have no idea

Actually, RGRS, I don't agree.

One of my favourite actors was Jack Elam. Cowboy movies, with the cast eye? I loved watching him. Never thought of him as a star, obviously.

I list Jakovich, Jurrah and Watts among my favourites. I'm willing to concede I am clueless, but I'd argue that getting a kick out of fascinatingly flawed characters is not proof of that cluelessness. I find interesting characters engrossing, and Sylvia was a tease for a long time. He never did, but there was always some grounds for supposing he might.

Don't be so hard on those true believers willing to admit they've had favourites based on hope, not hindsight!

Actually, Roos stated he is happy with the list.

He can't take that back now. It is his job to motivate the team. Emotion is a key ingredient.

And our mids have been.as effective with their skills as the auskickers....

Posted

Need a dynamite up their #^*+#^ to be quick. By the time they look around with the ball in hand the opposition had tackled and kicked a goal.

Posted

It just amazes me that after 7-8 years of being down the bottom receiving good draft picks how truly bad our list is, Roos seriously needs to just completely start over, we need to cull over half the list. I'm not even angry anymore, it's getting to the stage were my interest levels are getting less and less....

Posted

Simply, this is the worst AFL/VFL team I've ever seen. Roos or no, they are unsupportable. Outgutsed, out run, out thought. I could say some savage things about so many of our players, but what's the point? I thought I'd get some hope, some reason, some encouragement to follow the Dees this year, but there just isn't one solitary sign, not ONE, to maintain any interest.

Posted

Frawley kicks a goal everyone celebrates , and then puts the cue in the rack, for the day.

Not enough will to win.

Posted

Kick ins , cant take a chest mark , handballing our way into trouble . A lack of dynamic young talent .

Posted

BBO, whilst I sometimes get caught in the emotion, I don't subscribe to the Henny Penny, the sky is falling art of football following.

And btw, there's an Alpaca Farm in Rye. passed I today.

Posted

Roos must stay for at least a 3 year tenure. He cannot possibly turn the list over and leave with a team/club he is content with after only 1 more draft period. I am sure prior to round 1 he was hoping he could do just that..but the reality is now there for him to see.

    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
