Eagles are well drilled and disciplined. We still have 4-5 too many VFL players.

I'm waiting for the reality bus to arrive..It's scheduled for around 9:00pm tonight, however I am desperately hoping it gets cancelled.

My usual hope against the Eagles is that Jack Watts kicks the after-the-siren-winning-goal after taking mark of the year on top of Nic Nat's head. But football does seem trivial given the events of th

Viney's touched kick high into our forward line.

4 Melb players tackle the WC player who "marked" the ball

The WC player gets the handball away to one of the THREE FREE WC players

DUMB

Rinse and repeat stuff.

They never, ever learn from it.

They're not a class above they're just playing smarter more disciplined footy. It ain't rocket science.

I don't think I've seen one MFC kick to Dawes or Hogan all season that matches half a dozen or so I've seen to Darling or Kennedy tonight alone. They're most certainly a class above.

Get [censored] that's in the back, players are throwing themselves to the ground while being tackled and somehow getting rewarded.

Would you prefer him to not contest the mark? Dunn did exactly as he should. The Umpire paid a shocker. Don't blame the player for the [censored] the umpires are dishing up.

It's a 50m penalty every day of the week.. He blatantly pushed him in the back after he took the mark. Absolute stupidity from Dunn snuffed out any chance we had

I just tuned in briefly to see that mark to Kennedy. Dunn's attempt to cover him was insipid.

DUMB

Not just dumb - selfish. Too often when the going gets tough our players resort to fending for themselves. We're not tackling well tonight so off they all go trying to get a tackle. Not playing team football.

At some point we have to rid ourselves of this individualistic, selfish football and stick to playing as a team. We win as a team, we lose as a team. I can't stand it when we are overrun because our players stop doing the team things and start doing what they think they need to do themselves.

Don't be daft he pushed him straight in the back - Dunn is an idiot.

Of course he did. It's a free kick any day of the week. It's not 50m though. His option was to give away the free or not contest at all. He did the right thing, provided the contest he could and slowed down the play. The push was in the marking contest. Pay a free or a mark, but it's not even close to 50m.

In all reality we are playing a team that is 3rd on the ladder. They should put away a team like us. But Id like to think we have improved and at least stuck with them.

Maybe having the bye wrecked our momentum. Instead of going into this game the week after our win against geelong we have the week off and lose it.

I just hope our players arent stuffed because we need our energy to beat the bummers next week.

Look at the time and space they have. Masten drilled one in before because there was no Melbourne player within 10 metres of him. Give most of our players that much time and they'll hit our forwards on the [censored] to.

Need another one for the records to be broken thread: Not get completely embarrassed by West Coast. I don't even ask for a win, just four complete shameless quarters.

Poor from Stretch, gave off the handball and didn't bother with the shepherd. He left Vince to be squashed like a bug.

Terrible... really left him open.

He's a kid and will learn

But I despair for our club. We've been down for so long.

    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. 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

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded.
