I think their effort has been pretty high, just being beaten by a smarter team, just like Hawthorn played smarter, the wetter it gets the dumber our players are shown to be.

Not adapting to conditions...simple really but as it's taken us nearly 3 years in the making to develop the current game plan it's difficult for young players to throw it out the window in the space of one game.

 

The selection panel didn't adapt.

They would have known it was going to be wet and yet they opted to include at least six talls as opposed to the Syndey rich midfield.

You know what GD, if you look at the Swans team, we really shouldn't be getting outclassed. They've got a hell of a lot of no names in that team tbh

They do, but they also have about 6 all Australians in their team. That experience has been telling today.

Just who is on the selection panel? It is The Achilles heel of our developing club right now

Blowout coming. Players have given up.

Not sure that they have given up but just not good enough AND NOT THE RIGHT PLAYERS THERE FOR THE CONDITIONS.

People posting we don't want it enough, are you watching the game?

all I've seen us the players cracking in and putting their body on the line. 

Swans have bigger more experienced players. Invaluable when wet 

That's just not true. This is a horrible unaccountable performance, second to the ball with weak heartless tackling.

This is getting sad now.  To allow 4 goals in 5 minutes in this weather is an embarrassment. 

Blokes content to sit 5 metres off their opponents and it's just plain lazy.

Nah, they've definitely thrown in the towel.

Why do we struggle so much at the congested ball? Pissy little short handballs to blokes under even more pressure? Swans in the same position cleanly get the ball out to a clear player and off they go....So bloody frustrating.

3 swans free inside forward 50.

[censored] Jade Rawlings off at years end.

Again, bloody farcical selection. A 2 year old could tell that we went in far too tall and we've got sweet FA out of our talls forward of the defensive 50, except for Watts and Gawn.

    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.
