Is that bald [censored] Nicholls for real? Bloody rude [censored], respect needs to go both ways. Who the fark does he think he is.

Have to hit a target going forward and, in contrast, just have to stop them getting out of the back and getting easy looks.

Where have I heard that before??

Again.. an oppositions spread is beating us. 

They look more hungry at the contest.

We look slow compared to one of the slowest teams in the Comp. Our "improvement" is glacial at best. 

Who, if anyone will stand up as we are being belted at this point and it is terrible to watch... Again... Ffs again.

We are playing some dumb football. Getting murdered on the counterattack. Forward 50 entries are a joke. Signs are not great. 

Lucky to only be 2 goals down.

They're structures are just better. The game is being played in the corridor and we've had heaps of chances, but butchered them. They're running it right up the middle and catching us out the back.

Teams know how to beat us: in transition, spread, in space, out the back. Put enough pressure on and we'll buckle.

Terrible.

Watts couple of mistakes early letss see how he responds

That was utterly disgraceful. The ball use, the overuse. We gave them a sniff. They didn't touch it for the first 10 minutes and we butchered the ball.

OK. This is one for those who know about footy. Why do we get killed out the back this year. I know we press but that isn't enough. We must be not doing things...

Horrible first quarter. My God we look slow - Jeffy should have played. The worst part is the million kicks into forward 50 straight to a Pies player.

Can't name one performing demons player at the moment

Vince, Jones and Tyson again. Vince has been good, at least he's going after it.

And Hunt is trying his nuts off.

Jones and Vince are the main culprits in butchering the footy. Not good enough at all.

Delivery into forward line sucks (again!!!) and causes the goals out the back to them.

Ho hum....

TMac off for the last 5-10 minutes. Any word why?

Seems ok to me and I sit near the bench. 

Tyson was doing shuttle runs on the boundary for the last few minutes too.

Butchering the ball, missing easy (and not so easy) shots. None of this is helping, but then creates a turnover, with predictable results.

More than anything, this is a team that needs a season or two of just playing together, so they're all on the same page, and they know who's going to do what and run where.

    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.
