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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
