Back to reality, the only games we will win this year is like last week when the other side doesn't show up, as soon as there is pressure we fold, last week was a fluke still bottom 4 for me

The old melbourne still lurks beneath.

We still need a star midfielder who can change a game.

Why not put Garlett in there this quarter, have to do something.

some very funny comments on the last couple of pages, haven't bothered with the rest. It's going to take time people.

I strongly believe we dont need Dawes to have a solid midfield. let him mentor off the field as he doesnt show anything on the field...When his contract up?

Posted

Here's a thought: GWS were really really good that quarter.

We're a bad side too, but give the opposition some credit.

Howe and Dawes have been the worst by far.

Dawes should never have been brought in on the back of a useless Nab challange.

Adds nothing to this side.

You could tell in the second quarter that this was always on the cards. We just lost all our run. Looked like we were spent and they have rope 'a doped us.

Every time we play these guys they out run us.

Posted

Let's see if we can respond this time.

I reckon we've got the capability but if the effort of the third quarter keeps up it'll be a ten goal hiding.

wow...i am in shock...i just turned the radio on back at work

9 unanswered goals after such a good start..

This club murders people.

Get your F@#$^%ing arses into gear Demons..

This is just the old Melbourne resurfacing.

The new Melbourne played the first 5.5 quarters of the year, but the last 1.5 it's been a relapse into last year's team. We're slow, we're weak, we're being belted at the contest and on the spread, and we have absolutely no answer to anything the opponent throws at us.

Last week this was all the other way around, even in the first 40 minutes of this game it was too. The fact we can fall away so badly in the space of just one quarter is indicative of how much work we still have to do to climb back.

Seriously who didn't see this coming?

We are so incapable of playing 120 minutes it's just unbelievable. What a bloody waste.

You saw a 9 goal to zip quarter coming?

Head to tab mate. You've got a gift

The Giants just had another gear, we don't have the speed or ability to match.

That would have cut up a lot of AFL sides, hawthorn like nearly.

Posted

All our leaders went missing..

Cross worked hard, the rest Dawes, H, Jones, nothing.

Posted

Roos completely outcoached

Jones very poor.

One thing Malthouse said that made sense last night. Funny the times you are out coached when your team is outclassed.

Maybe we are playing 'Rope a Dope'.

Lets sit back and watch...

Posted

well, that was an outstanding quarter of football from gws. their midfield is scary.

I was going to say we were just pathetic, but I think this is more to the point.

Posted

Dawes should never have been brought in on the back of a useless Nab challange.

Adds nothing to this side.

Well it's hard to blame Dawes when the midfield is getting smashed....Blame VInce, VIney, Garlett, Kent, Jones Tyson.....Don't blame the forwards

    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.
