Christ most of us think we have had it tough, that takes the cake. 

Not when you consider the number of losses over the last twelve years Cards13.

I have not been to a win this year attended only losses.

Unexpected omission!? Looks like the coaches are serious about players who don't perform.

Not by me I was saying Garlett out Kennedy in since monday.

And Oxley out for Collingwood. Average player but killed us last QB.

Not to mention Cloke being dropped as well.  He has been putrid but it's still a relief as I had this nightmare of him kicking 6.

Garlett being dropped is 50/50 for me too - on one hand he is such a dangerous player in our forward 50, but on the other hand it sets a good precedent - the moment you don't do the team things and your form drops, you're out.  Good message to send for the long term.

Good to see Jeff Garlett being held accountable for his putrid form.

Ive said it already but last week was probably the worst game Jeffy has ever played...couldnt believev what I was seeing and Im a big fan.  Maybe he's injured or maybe he hates the wet or...?? But either way with another wet game coming up we cant carry him. We will  already be carrying Dawes.

Jeff had 3 major brain fades last week:

-when he misjudged the flight of Dawes' kick and ran under it.

-rather than make it a 2 on 1 contest and help Hogan, Jeff waited to run into an open goal assuming Jesse would win the contest.  He didn't.  Ball went straight down the other end. (Ist qtr I think).

- in the last quarter he had the ball outside our 50.  Only 1 player near him, a few metres behind. A paddock in front of him to an open goal.  He clearly didn't want to bounce it because of the conditions.  Fair enough.  But instead of doing it the hard way and run and bend to touch the ball to ground, he took a wild kick.  It went out on the full.

I wouldn't say any of those plays cost us the game.  But all those were at critical times in the game and they cost us.

Love watching him play so wish he was there on QB but not unhappy the coaches enforcing required behaviours.

Is one of those the Gibson contest? I thought that was the worst, refused to take any body contact.

I'd rather him play. Their forward line has worked much better with him out. Although that's also been with Moore in.

    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.

    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

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
