GAME DAY - Round 7



Recommended Posts

I have come to the realisation that we are never going to be a competitive football club. We are too far gone.

Therein lies the problem - the competition never stops evolving.

We're ducked.

I only follow the scores for two reasons these days. First, in the hope of seeing a goal kicked so we don't go through a match without scoring any at all. Second, in the hope that we do not lose a game by over 200 points. Both will happen soon but at least we seem to have avoided both again today. I don't expect these guys to compete because they quite simply won't.

An apologist culture where competing is not the highest priority. We do not belong in the AFL and will not be there in 5 years time.

It'd almost be worth delisting everybody and starting from scratch, is that even possible? We need to cut out whatever cancer has infected this club

Win? Are you [censored] kidding???

How about chasing and tackling. And manning up when we don't have the ball???

We can't/won't do the basics. They are a pea-hearted bunch of losers.

Watts might be smarter than we give him credit for.

Asking to be dropped this week might have saved him....How pathetic we are as a club.

That is a scary thought Ethan but, unfortunately, is now worthy of serious consideration.

Dawes 2 marks. Spencer nil.

Just not enough return from our big men.

I'm not sure how N.Jones gets away from getting a lashing from this site.

Because when Ablett has a sore shoulder he gets to take a well paid holiday. When Jones has a sore shoulder he's expected to continue to lead a midfield full of crap players.

Getting the base tan for the hipster holiday, Earl?

Yes off to Noosa soon! Can't come soon enough.

The question how many Melb players would get a game with Hawthorn. There are not too many. McDonald and Garland only.

Disagree Jaded... Sorry

I don't understand how we have had so many high draft picks and still have one of the least skilled side in the HISTORY of the competition. We are a debacle!

I didn't expect to win but at least keep it to a 10 goal loss!

Insipid stuff but the AFL did us no favours at all in piling on these three games in a row. Confidence will take a hammering from this. If you want a competitive Melbourne, this isn't helping.

I wouldn't blame the AFL fixturing. We would have had to play them at some point. I'm just sick of being uncompetitive against the better sides. When does this crap end?

Jones just shaking his head at Howe

Howe can [censored] off - useless footballer, drop him to Casey and see what we get for him in trade week. A 3rd round pick would be about right.

And to think GWS offered pick 6 last year!!

It ends when the league finally puts us out of our misery and we fold/merge/relocate. And when that day finally comes, we will have nobody to blame but ourselves. In a strange kind of way i hope it is soon, if only so i can stop feeling so [censored] bad every weekend.

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
