Don't worry Ethan it's in the bag!! I'm confident on this one and I'm sure you will relish the opportunity of being boorish, uncouth, unsporting and foul mouthed toward your fellow employees.

Win by a lot and we could move to 9th. I am not giving up on the finals dream!

Geeze we've butchered some opportunities. Could almost have kicked 100 points.

Matt Jones has been dreadful.

The rest is pretty positive,

We certainly have, but it's great we are creating them.  I dare say that we would have converted them at a dry MCG and not in slippery NT.

It's a shame about Matt Jones - we works his socks off, but his disposal tonight has been shown up in these conditions.

For those that have a crack at our leaders that goal from N. Jones was all about leadership. Took it on himself and delivered.

That Pav free kick was very soft. Had it been a first year player it would have been play on.

Even when we're running all over them, disposal letting us down. Just so many of our players with questionable disposal and a real lack of footy smarts ... M Jones, Harmes, Hunt (OK, young), Kent (great with the goals in front of him, but too often turns it over), Grimes (of course), Petracca (OK, young) - there must be a few I'm missing as well.

I know a few here [censored] about Oscar Mac, but at least he usually hits his target. Speaking of which Mitch White looking good. Some footy smarts.

Carry on.

When was the last time we'd put a game out of reach at half time?  I know - careful not to jinx etc, but I can't see this game becoming more free flowing and high scoring as it goes on.  The players all looked stuffed.

Probably should be in front by more given our domination but hey if we continue on this path it'll be a very big win. I also suspect that if we continue getting these numbers the dockers just won't be able to hold us back.

No mercy Dees, kill their spirit in the 3rd quarter and go for the jugular!

Playing in Darwin is ridiculous. Players are out on their feet before half time. The humidity must be killer.

 

We are playing now okay-ish and controlling the game, which is great to see, but Its a terrible game to watch because of the conditions.

 

Need to come out and smash them early in the third quarter - the heat will inevitably kick and and then go out of the game after the first 10 mins IF we can again hit the scoreboard.

 

My only complaint currently is that we are not absolutely burying them.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
