It's not like playing a Hawthorn or Sydney when they are just genuinely more skilled than us. We are better than this mob but just have not figured out how to beat them

FFS!!!! We are NOT better than them. How much evidence do you all need. They're not just better, they're 30 points better at least. Results DON'T lie!

Wow, bet no Melbourne supporter saw this result coming. /sarcasm

Yeah, let's just make two changes to the exhausted Darwin squad! An underdone Brayshaw, an underdone Wagner, and leave in an injured McDonald and Vince.

Christ this club is amateur sometimes. You just lost this way 2 months ago to this exact same club -- did ANYBODY research that game and formulate a new plan?! ANYONE???

If it makes you feel better mate. 

Here it is for you in one sentence: Tired or not, no changes that you can name would make a shred of difference to this result.

That's the other side of the problem. 

We lack leaders when the stakes are high.

Does Hamish get off on constantly quoting all these horrific stats? 

Everyone know we've been [censored] Hamish you tool.

Are you actually watching the game? You honestly think we don't look tired already?

Yes I am wathing, thanks very much.

We look exactly like we did the last time we lost to St Kilda, and we didn't play in Darwin that time.

In fact, we look similar to every time we lose this year.

No leaders. Lazy (not just tired). Dumb. Error-laden. Kids having down days at the same time. Going backwards 40 metres when we should be playing on.

There is so much more to this than fitness. You make it sound like another 1 or 2 personnel changes would fix all the problems.

LOL.

Nathan Jones, in his career, is 2-41 against St Kilda, North and Hawthorn.

Needs to step aside from captaincy at years end.

Again, we don't have a midfield. We have a collection of midfielders.

And tell me about the changes we made last time we played the Saints...

Seeing a pattern about Etihad yet?

You would think that if you only watch the saints when we play them. They have played some truly terrible football this year.

If only it were just that, deanox. 

I really think that is it. 

When we give up the insideball easily everything else falls apart.

And Hogan keeps us his record as missing fairly easy shots when we desperately need one.

You're not actually watching are you? He landed on his coccyx in the second quarter, the same one that kept him out for a year. He's been on and off the bench getting treatment.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
