Can we find somewhere on the ground that Watts can go where he is the least detrimental to us? Put him in the forward line. At least the ball isn't going to go there very often.

This is the most hilariously split personality thread I've ever seen. All we need is a contribution from hogans_heroes and it will be complete.

FFS jack Watts gave Smith, a faster player 10 meters inside forward 50 then, stupid lazy play by Watts

Chip auditioning today.

Notice how Watts cops it for their last goal yet it was Vince who went to ground easily that gave them the extra man to set it up... yet no-one cracks it about that.

Very happy with our ins so far today, Gawn giving us a target, Barry and Michie getting their hands on the pill, Cross is just fantastic... we are having a dip, no doubt about it, which is pleasing to see. Just need to keep it up now.

In years one by we would have been six goals down by now. We're no chance to win, but anyone who thinks we haven't improved is flat out wrong.

OUT: Watts, M. Jones; anyone who can't kick.

IN: Hogan, anyone who CAN kick.

Things will be better from now on.

Reasonably encouraging. Good first 10 minutes but then we let the floodgates open a little bit. A couple late goals helped a lot. Cross makes a world of difference while Watts is um.....well no.

Garlo Mitchie Kent poor disposal and a fumble costing us goals . 2nd rate footy

Probably because Vince doesn't do it every time he goes near the ball.

Puts Watts in the goal square! He's just no good around the game if we can't get the space and win the stoppages. Play him out of the bloody square! We have no targets going forwards!

Trust me when I say I'm not a Watts apologist, far from it, but I was far more annoyed at Vince going to ground and allowing Stratton to waltz up the field to set up an easy goal. I know Watts ended up being involved in the chain but the contest was long gone by the time he could have had an impact on it.

I seriously love Nev Jetta. Crossy welcome back. Barry getting amongst it.

A sign of fight there. It's something.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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.
