GAME DAY - Round 6


Recommended Posts

That quarter hurt. About the only thing I can see that's good is that we're not as far behind as we should be.

Oh, and well done to Billy Stretch with his first kick and goal in AFL.

if watts was always going to be sub he simply should've been dropped. he's not part of the midfield rotation and he's horribly out of form. i love roos as much as everyone else, but he has no idea how to use the sub whatsoever.

closely followed by brayshaw.

I try to not get to excited as many of our first year players have shown promise and then well you know...

Guys need a rocket! They aren't running hard enough to create options and when we do happen to win it they hesitate

Gee, surely Hogan is hampered by something. He looks slow and ordinary.

Our midfield is so lazy

We will be lucky to kick 5 goals for the game, and it wont be the fault of our forwards

Jake Spencer woeful. Got drawn into the 2 on 1 on the boundary and pyke slots it. Is the loose man back and is outoutmarked by tippett. 2 goals as a result of spencer's ineptitude. And where is the supposed aggression people rave about?

Three goals gifted to glaring defensive errors. Not looking good.

We were smashed by McVeigh & Shaw last time we played em allowing them to run free across high half back (wall). Switching, running free and sharing the ball around. Bringing others around them into the match then pumping the ball back into the 40-50 metre zone. We refused to man up and they just did this all night.

I see nothing's changed from last year *_*

Same old demons

If we don't get in front in the contest (Hogan), it will be.

i'm seeing the same school boy errors (2 players getting sucked into the ball carrier, stop-start, not running in support of each other, leading to the pocket at all costs) that I was seeing at the start of the Bailey era. I'm bemused

Better start

Mcdonald has defiantly improved his kicking

Posted

In my hotel room in Amsterdam hitting refresh on my phone because I can't get the game up to watch.

Looks like it might be a safer option to head off for a choof this arvo.

Good to see Jones get a couple clean touches - we can't do it without him

Posted

No one is flying the flag.

Garlett had his head turned off and no one even went over to him.

This team has gone back into its shell.

    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

    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.
