N.Jones - led from front

Dunn - coach killer brainfade

Hogan - beaten on day

Watts - tried hard throughout

Toumpas - lack of accountability

Viney - hard and ferocious

Lumumba - hesitation kills confidence

Brayshaw - precise effective contributor

Gawn - time your rucking

Cross - completed set tasks

Newton - stealth like presence

Garland - average like performance

Pedersen - frustrates with inconsistency

Vince - leather poisoning effort

McDonald - beaten badly (in) blockbuster

Riley - Ineffective throughout game

Garlett - provided linebreaking goals

Howe - great set shots

Jetta - had hands full

M.Jones - provided some run

Fitzpatrick - Tunnel ball blunder

vandenBerg - strong when on

I reckon joeboy's comment on McDonald is very harsh and completely misguided. Players have poor games sometimes; he's been arguably our best player over the season, I think it's grossly unfair to accuse him of an over-inflated ego after one poor performance.

I seem to be following you around today Nasher.

Might be a little harsh but compiling that list using just three words would be a very hard job.

I sure as hell could not do it.

I forgive you joeboy

Old Dee he could have used

Lowered his colours

Beaten today

Beaten by Cloke

Etc etc

Yes he could have

But I don't mind a little emotion especially if he was [censored] about losing that game.

I think on a couple of others he was very generous.

The comments would have been more barbed from me if I had the skill in the first place.

I generally look forward to the 3 word descriptions, but this one is just too

described jack watts as a "bipolar performances" is absurd, apart from being hugely insulting about this very unfortunate condition. The Regs should censor this immediately

One of my relatives is bipolar, and I can tell you Jack Watts is so far away from bipolar that it is not funny. If this poster is determined to insult our number one draft pick, thereby ensuring he leave, then it may give him varcarious pleasure, but it makes this demon suppiorter extremely angry. All it will do is ensure he leaves. God we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

Pc police alert!

I think the coaching staff might have erred too. Sometimes they don't get every matchup right. Sometimes the balance between reacting (and changing) and persisting (trust...no panic) is a fine line.

I like the 3 word analysis; but it fails to take into consideration coaching box issues.

Paul Roos said no one maned up on Oxyley and players didn't listen to the coach's intructions. I assumed he was a defender who accumulated a stack disposals and hence screwed the Dees chance of a win. Didn't both teams play an extra man in defence?How can

have someone play on Oxley when we have a spare player in defence? Can someone please make sense of it?

Hogan beaten .. Really .. 1 goal & marking contest created another.... Ball going into fwd line like big bombs...

You are aware he is nicknamed Arro and Gancy within the club.

He was beaten on the day...

He was talking about the forwards competing and ensuring he was kept accountable. He didn't necessarily want a specific man on him, just that the forwards were to make sure he didn't get the easy mark, as he did over and over again.

Collingwood also did very well to subtly stop our forwards getting to him, which is against the rules, but it was well hidden.

I almost agree - I don't think our forwards were hard enough at it on the long ball (rather than them being subtly stopped)

If we bombed it long and it went to the only person in defense being the Collingwood loose player then I have problem - but Oxley took numerous marks in and around our forwards. They didn't make a contest.

It was a combination of both, in the first half he was happy to have the loose in our backline, but from half time onwards he wanted us to go to a 7 man forward line and man up the loose man.

The second point about protecting the marking space was something i was surprised about on game day, but the collingwood players did it really well and its something we need to do better in our backline when we have the loose.

Chris,Nutbean and Mad_Melbourne comments on Oxley were well explained,nothing like pointing out the obvious to a mere Deemon supporter probably should have taken the red pill.Was it a coincidence in the MATRIX there were references to BLUE and RED pills?

Chris are you getting use to being disappointed after the Dees loss to St.Kilda……….. bonus early draft picks and another re build (mark 8)

    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
