Our second quarter was below VFL standard today, it was as bad as any we had last year under Neeld.

We just sat back and spectated as they brushed us aside.

Take that out and we win the game, but football is a four quarter game not 2 or 3 or two and a half, it was embarrassing.

Our first 12 games last year lead to 11 losses. The margins were 79, 148, 94, 28, 61, 60, 34, 90, 95, 83, 35. We've lost 3 games this year by margins smaller than every single one of those save for

If you don't like what you saw yesterday, what did you think of the last few years? God strike me, we are turning the screw to being relevant again and people want to blow up the place because Watts

Hes entitled to his opinion whether you like it or not

If you genuinely do not think there are any positives, just give up and leave us all alone WYL. Seriously.

This time last year the game would have been over 10min into the 3rd by them kicking 10 unanswered goals. The fact that we never gave up and fought hard up until the final siren is a step in the right direction in my book.

I actually watched the hole game for a change without being frustrated that they gave up to easily which is all a asked from the boys this season.

Hes just frustrated TU, i am as well :)

Yes, true. But his opinion is often pure negativity without any basis on what's going on with the club.

Honestly, what were your expectations for this year? Considering where we are coming from I expected pretty much what we are getting.

Slow but steady improvement, which is what we are getting.

Remember our first five games last year............

That 2nd term was Ablett conscience nonsense.

The rest was good. Our brand of footy ain't pretty but effective.

28 I50s to 20 after half time. We are getting there. Too bad Tyson was down and McDonald out played.

Could have won that.

The 2nd Quarter killed any positives. That is the reality.

No, that is not the reality.

The reality is we are not giving up in games that, in 2013, we would have.

The reality is that we are far more competitive in the middle than we have been of late.

The reality is we are restricting team's scores a lot more than we have been able to in the past.

The reality is that we are coming from such a low position that being in the game with Gold Coast is, right now, an improvement for us.

Yes. But all that gets thrown down the bog with a 2nd Quarter that was put in today.

Watch it again.

There is no excuse for the majority of the side to be in that mindset.

Chance to win 2 in a row thrown away in 30 minutes of standing around.

That is the reality

So should Paul Roos and co just throw up their hands and say "Got nothing for you" when the players ask what they did right?

You think the players have attitude issues, yet you refuse to acknowledge positives when they're staring you in the face.

Classic.

I really think that video is a bit unfair and a disgrace from us supporters.

He was really bad today, Watts, but that passage of play isn't that bad and it would have happened to 15 others today.

At least he laid a tackle today! We had 5 players notch up a big fat 0 in the T column. People give it to Watts partly because he deserves it, but partly because they're biased. He was not the only player today to play poorly, so why is he the only one to get shamed on YouTube?

with you on this one, get sick of the 'supporters' on this site continually getting stuck into certain players,, frickin' douchbags the lot of them

The "skills" exhibited by Melbourne players was shocking. Continual handballing to players under pressure, poor kicking and dropped marks. GC's skills were much better.

Watts' "tackling" was pitiful.

I also thought that the forward line was way too top heavy.

I'm normally not a fan of Pederson, but I thought he was far from our worst today. Bail was invisible.

Until such time that the Melbourne players warrant my attention, I will devote my interest to anything else besides the club. Bring on the game tomorrow, that will be another classic!

Oh, that'll be a shame that we wont get to read your pearls of wisdom, including you talking about your vomit and telling Frawley to leave the club.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
