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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
