AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

TV off, kettle on, chocolates out.

Got it on the radio and doing some work now, but I just can't look at him.

He's eveyr bit as good as he was at Melbourne.

I can't agree with that. He has no defensive pressure at all, and that was a feature of his play with us. He's had two uncontested marks for goals and a couple of touches up on the wing and HBF. He's doing ok, but not great.

Blease not even named as emergency. You'd think he'd struggle to get a look in with all the outside talent at the cats

Apparently he had 29 touches in the reserves yesterday, even though Geelong were thumped. He won't play a senior game for them.

Thank god the MFC have finally started to do what Hawthorn has been doing since forever - draft players that can execute basic skills and have an appetite for the contest.

I don't usually barrack for Hawthorn but find myself doing it today despite myself. I think it is because if Hawthorn are dominating I don't have to see those ex-Demons at the other end.

All class. Good on them.

Huh?

I don't think they're there to support Clark or Frawley but rather watch two of the best teams in the comp go at it.

Purely a learning exercise.

ED: loving the booing of him.

That hit by Johnson was cheap and should get weeks. Had potential to cause serious injury, was unexpected, from behind, and out of play.

However it was 2-3 minutes before the melee which and to center around Clark. Any idea what sparked it?

Does everyone know something I don't? Clark is being praised for [censored] us over and a couple months later going to a successful team

Courageous? I'm going to punch the TV in a second

If Mitch Clark makes a successful comeback from injury and whatever mental health issues he has (clearly he's a nutbag of the highest order even if he isn't depressed), it will be a fantastic story for everyone except Melbourne. We're the only loser here (though I can remember a nice goal that was kicked on the weekend that wouldn't have been kicked had things not gone down the way they have).

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    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
