No but guys think of the 'support' Dawesy provides

Spud

Surely he can do something against Brissy's defence?

Thought Terls was a bit stiff too.

Got quite a lot of turnovers on the weekend.

Yeah it looks that SWYL - I don't understand the changes. Maybe there are some injuries we don't know about?

after last weeks lame effort i will pleasantly suprised if we win another game this year.

I mean we LOST to half a side of damaged footballers last week.

That 3rd quarter was an absolute shambles

Do these employees of ours ever learn anything??

I know it's terrible.

Heads should roll.

There is little evidence to suggest they do.

This is just the sort of game where a young nobody, like Daniel McStay, will bob up and kick 5-6 goals and be a match winner too.

Always happens to us Wisblood.

Just like we play teams and players who have been horribly out of form into form.

At least we are consistent!

FMD it's hard following this team.

Paul Roos is surely taking the [censored] with this line up

What about Newon for some run

Just wow under whelmed

Completely feel the same.

I was reading the article just shaking my head. No words just meh.

As it stated in the paper today, this club has achieved nothing since Neale Daniher.

I expect nothing from this team anymore, last weekend was the last straw.

All talk no walk!!!

People had high hopes for Newton yet he can't even make a squad of 25. Also pretty stiff for Fitzy and maybe Toumpas especially since Stretch wasn't good last week. It's like that tunnel ball has ended Fitz's career even though he showed some form in his 2-3 games

Not sure what people expected

Our injury list hasn't moved this week. Whether you bring Grimes or Newton or Michie they won't make us a better team.

I want Kent and Salem back, but I also want a million dollars, so you know, tough luck.

Feel for the Toump. Stretchie has similar numbers or less. Not anymore goals. Less tackles and just as many clangers and is still in. Love Stretchie. feel Toump's card also marked now. Back to shitilaide young fella.

Stretch does the same job as the Toump but without the turnovers/clangers.

Cant believe nobody was dropped after last week......what do you have to do to get dropped, refuse to take the field?

Posted

After last weeks terrible loss the doom and gloom feeling is well and truly back. What we dished up was a disgrace, Roos knows it and the players know it. It's all about how they respond, the Lions will feel they're a chance but we have to get back our early season form of starting confidently and putting on early scoreboard pressure.

This is our must win. We win and season expectations are back on track, we lose and it's back to square one.

Posted

I hope and think that Harmes will get another run. Roos has given new players a couple of games to try and get into the groove of things (neither ANB or Stretch set the world on fire in their first matches).

I think we're likely to see:

In: Grimes, Riley

Out: JKH, ANB/Stretch

It says a lot doesn't it, but it says even more about those who don't make the team this week.

Really? Seems to me they have lost 7 on the trot and only won 2 for the year

yes they've lost but were very competitive against top sides unlike us.

Watched our Forward line coach interviewed last night

very ordinary performance I must say.

I think we may need to replace him if that's as good as it gets

Pathetic apologist

Followed by Nate Jones. Again no explaination as to why the team didn't come to play and the appalling on field leadership

What can they say " we are seriously short of talent", "Dawes is hopeless and I have no idea why we pay him so much"?

That would go done well with this group with eight games to go.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    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
