POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 6

Was tonights game (North v Doggies) a comedy of errors or what?

I have never seen so many unforced turnovers in 1 game ever. They won't be up there for long bringing this rubbish  time for us to swoop?

 

 

YES.

People on here talking about winning 5 in a row, players talking about finals, the over-hyping of Truck's debut. Spelled trouble from the start. Excuses will include a short turnaround, inexperience, Etihad, blah, blah, blah, but again its COMPLACENCY. It's time to grow up and pull the proverbial head out of the backside. So, so disappointing but all too familiar. 

 

 

Too tall. One of frost or.pedo needed to not play. 

Won't be hard to drop players this week. 

 

Sack Roos. Drop T Mac to make a statement. Retire Dunn. Banish Kent, Hunt and Wagner. Get a new group of selectors. Encourage the Prince to pursue a political career. 

 

I said pre-game this had a loss written all over it, but the recent Melbourne had me believe it wouldn't be the same.

Unfortunately, I've been let down. Again.

Really, really disappointed. 


I've never seen so many goals kicked with 3,4,5 forwards on 1 defender. I'm not sure whether there's something wrong with the plan or the application. I reckon it's probably the latter. 

Hopefully the boys bounce back next week. 

Aside from Jones, Viney and Hogan, not a single other player has won his position.

Doesn't surprise me too much. We still are amazingly immature.
Note to MFC and it's players: the next time you win a game (consecutive games), shut the hell up and just play.

What the [censored] happens in the space of 5 days that turns our small forwards to rubbish? Was this coaching from Richo?! I don't get it at all.

If they were tired with the short break, something plenty of posters here raised during the week, how the hell did the selectors not see fit to make changes? Wagner and Hunt were never going to keep up great form for extended patches, adding a zero gamer to that list was a disaster in the end.

We desperately needed Oliver and, frankly, he deserved a spot in the team more than Petracca (as did several others, to be honest). If Petracca got given his first game because we wanted to attract a larger crowd to Shitihad, it was a shameful decision.

This is what JV is quoted as having said;  "If we can keep the team consistently performing how we are, I don't think it's unrealistic we find ourselves in finals at the end of the year."

Please read and disagree directly with this statement before citing Jack's comments as contributing to this loss.

Sam Frost is special, and not in a good way.

Like a baby giraffe. And also not in a good way. 

Pedersen is that much more useful it's a joke. Can't play them both. 

Also Wagner, Hunt, Harmes, Bugg, Kennedy, Petracca... Way too many too inexperienced and/or NQRs in the one team for me. It's bad enough we need to put up with Roos' favourite Lumumba every week, and the yo-yoing performances of Tyson, McDonald, Salem and Kent. 

I haven't been able to watch the game today and suspect I won't, but on the basic stats alone I suspect it won't be too hard to find room for ANB, Brayshaw, Oliver and/or Trengove.

Kent's had 8 touches after 25 last week and 21 the week before. Has Frost touched the ball since quarter time?

I find it difficult to fathom how we could be getting ahead of ourselves merely a month after the Essendon debacle.

I also don't want to let myself believe that we debuted Petracca earlier than his form warranted because we wanted to pull a crowd to a home game. That's the MFC of 2009, should not be the MFC of 2016. 

 

Please, please, please let Gold Coast go in as short favourites next week. I never want this club to be favourites ever again, ever. If we ever are, I'll bet my life savings against us and retire a happy man.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
