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.

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.

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.

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
