I would like Etihad stadium destroyed.

I want the umpires tortured.

I want to slap a few of ours also.

Terrible day with the club showing its ineptitude in ticketing as well. 

Roos needs to explain why he wants Reiwoldt to get BOG every time!Why?

We know something will happen then it happens.

Peter Jackson and the club need to stand up and demand that we NEVER EVER play a home match at this $hithole again!

If what I'm reading is correct, and we were lazy, flat and disinterested, it's not an Etihad problem.

Those are the same traits that we showed against Essendon in Round 2, coming off a good win and hype.

The problem is the club, not the ground.

(NB: I still hate Etihad and don't want to play home games there, but still).

We should pick the same team next week. We were out on our feet by qtr time. I thought Watts, Hogan, Jones and Viney were great today but too many tired kids.

I might not watch the replay when I return.  On the bright side I have just enjoyed several Bia Ha Noi's in the old quarter.  Maybe next week? Monkey Island here I come. (Might see some relatives)- just thought I would get in first.

Those that won their position or broke even: Hogan, Jones and Viney.

That leaves 19 blokes beaten in their position.

Particularly useless were Dunn, Lumumba, TMac, Garlett, Kent and Harmes.

Col Garland has a big chance to take his spot back off Wagner, who looked slow and tired. Salem probably needs a spell. Cp5 was the wrong call, Oliver much more effective. We need more midfield grunt and that's Oliver.

Short turn around from last weeks game  Saints were smart enough to drop a few as they also had  a short turn around

We werent smart enough and paid the price

The boys looked tired, there was no intensity on the ball mover like we have seen over the past couple of games which is how we got our selves back into the North game.

I expected Petracca to be a more of a in and under player like Viney but he plays more like Pendelbrey.  You definitely see the basketballer in his game, Moves very well in traffic and in one play he tapped the ball out of a St.Kilda players hands instead of tackling which I thought was quite clever. He did a couple of special things which made me think his going to be a player in a few years.

Thank goodness the game is over.

Maple I am not surprised considering the company you were keeping, if my spies are correct!

Pederson's lack of effort today has really stood out. He will be first to be dropped.

I think you'll find Frost has a hold on that spot. Worse than useless today.

    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

    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.
