Was it that or the "tad too wide" kick from Pedo?

I've seen enough of Grimes, Garland and Matt Jones.

Kennedy and Bugg very underwhelming so far.

I've seen enough from Dunn as well.
Plays with self preservation foremost in his mind.

We look like we're playing our first competitive hit out for the season. Haven't been very impressed with the defending when they are in transition from defense (very loose). Tyson gets it a lot but is the new Brock McLean (running in treacle). Kennedy and Hunt look lost out there. Salem, Jetta, Gawn, Watts, Viney all look pretty solid. Have liked the few touches of Stretch as well. Vanders looks rusty but that tackle! Lets see how they run out the 2nd half.

Disappointed with key backs inability to body-up... Oscar needs to make body contact when trying to spoil. It was always going to be an easy shot for goal, what has he got to lose if he gets pinged for a free? Kennedy has been disappointing, as has Hunt, but I'll cut all of them some slack this early in proceedings. Frost has got his hands on it but disposal and decision making has been untidy. Jetta was good in first quarter but was outsmarted a few times in second. I know this is negative but these are my observations to date. In the second half I would like to see better decision making, less panic!

halftime;

after Jordie ver1.04beta testing went nowhere I think Jordie 2.0 is AFL certified.

We are at least 5% better having Kent out there.

Gawn monstering.

Lay off Tyson he probably has some mild concussion.

Agree For Grimes and Matt Jones to get a game even in an extended bench is an indictment of our depth.

FWIW Throw Tom Mc Donald up forward, move Frost down back. I also agree with the opinion already expressed that Oscar Mc Donald hasn't and nevr will have it!

Just showing Brayshaw sitting with cruches in the rooms and getting no attention from trainers. Could be precautionary hopefully. Scans will determine what if any damage has occurred. 

For the love of God pls don't let it be anything serious. We need all our good midfielders on deck.

Why the hate for Oscar McDonald? Firstly, The kid has played 2 AFL games and is now only in his second season. Secondly, key talls take a while to fully develop. Don't count him out just yet, I thought showed some good signs at the end of last year.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
