So you've got Terlich, Bail, Evans, M Jones and Grimes, most of whom play off half back. None of them can kick it and every one of them is an atrocious decision maker. You cannot win games with one player of that sort in your team, let alone FIVE of them.

Oh and Kent has to learn to tackle. Absolutely as soft as butter.

EDIT. Terlich, Bail, Evans, M Jones and Grimes wouldn't get a game for any other AFL team. One of them is our captain.

Last night, the wife and I had dinner with friends at the Railway Club Hotel Steakhouse in Port Melbourne. Apart from the fact that the food's great, the other benefit is that there are a number of te

I am a great Watts fan. Thing is, the conditions make no real difference, if you are committed. I once saw Robbie Flower best on the ground by daylight, against Essendon at Windy Hill in a day they

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.

Rubbish. The list is dreadful.

Motivation does not equate to skill and talent.

You're dreaming if you think Roos is 'happy' with the list.

Fmd.

They scored five goals from our kick outs, nothing has changed at all in this club.

I am totally empty. I'll go to the Carlton Melbourne game next week. More because I feel I have to then want to.

Spot on.

I feel nothing. I'm going next week out of some sick sense of obligation, but I'm just [censored] over it. I'm over this pathetic excuse of a club. Can't let a bunch of players ruin every weekend. Life is too short to care about Melbourne so deeply!

When Evans dropped that mark it was game over and I reckon the players knew it. I'm gutted we couldn't run it out and win, I reckon if we'd got our noses in front some doubts would've crept in and could've got the job done.

We were smashed in at the stoppages by Mumford, and just couldn't get any run going at any point of the game.

Endeavour was much better but that first quarter (much like the saints) was when we played our best but couldn't get goals for effort.

29 scoring shots to 12 is a 15 goal victory by any reasonable conditions. We HAVE not improved, we are NOT more competitive. And we will NOT win a game this year. We WILL finish with a percentage worse than last year. These last two factors were the improvement measures Roos deemed that we could overcome. I honestly believed we couldn't be worse than last year. We are.

Agreed, that dropped mark was just through a lack of concentration and laziness. Edited by Clint Bizkit

I don't want to hate on Grimes but he really needs something to happen.
In the past he could get the pill but occasionally butchered it. Now, he doesn't even get the pill.
If Trenners is relieved of the captaincy because of poor form. should Grimes continue like this he may need to lose the title as well.

    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.

    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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
