Was that paid for holding the ball?


Looking forward to some overpaying for Howe and landing us another top 20 draft pick.

Well....late change had to help family. Not sttending..initially disappointed. Glad now

Not sure whether a wake a call for the players ...or Roos. From little I've seen you just cant play this brand of footy.

Tis already ugly:((

Well..back to the grind.. as im dure you at game are also thinking.

We're bloody good at getting other teams back up and firing :(

A goalless quarter coming up???

Would almost make it a goalless half if not for the first 4 minutes.
 

Any chance we can lay a tackle in the f50? Apparently 75% of he time we get it in there the Hawks get a goal. Wow. Just Wow.

What a stat What a bunch of lazy assed players we have.

Useless. Hardly takes skill to tackle. Its intent and desire. This team doesn't have it. CLean the list out again f&*&^ me

If that stat is accurate (and I have no reason to doubt it) then it is absolutely disgusting. You're right, that has nothing to do with skill, it's about effort.


F U Melbourne, you are ruining my weekends. FFS

A goal!!!! A goal!!!!!

No that can't be right

Edited by Demon Disciple

Toumpas and Bail have been good.

I don't know which was worse. Bail's shot at goal or Toumpas's attempt to pass it.

Jeffy runs another one in!

Edit: Neitz in the hawks box? What is his role?

Edited by UTAH

seriously interesting choice of words there. Sums up quite a bit of Demonland, I think. (not a good time to be making such an observation, I know...)

It's a Checker Hughes quote and is where we got our nickname from.

The more you learn!!!

Oh my god seeing Neitz in the Hawks box is nauseating.

toumpas,must feet made of jelly

Footy is played mostly above the shoulders. But where's the drilled skills & ferocious tackling as a bare minimum at this level when nothing else is working? The ability to hit lead up targets under pressure to move the ball up the field when the heat is on. When u aint got the ball man up and tackle/spoil/pressure! FMD

and everyone bags watts for not trying,have a good look at the 22 out there today

Hamstring...Stretch now on.

This game is like a death of a thousand cuts...

Anyone think this club ain't cursed.

Of course we have so much depth in skilled running defenders that Salem's injury won't hurt us at all.

That is nearly half our best 22 out this week, and for a struggling team with little depth that will always devastate.

toumpas,must feet made of jelly

Even when Wines is out injured, he has more of a positive influence on his teams game than Toumpas.


Any chance we might apply some pressure at some stage? This is pathetic, bruise free football is back!

The more you learn!!!

yes but in the light of 1973-1987, it's hardly a usable quote any more, surely!

So how good is this McDonald kid..... Nothing else worth mentioning.

 

Wow. They set up a simple zone and we crumble.

I don't know why Pedo gets dropped ahead of Dawes.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
