I don't know about anyone else but I've has enough of getting beaten by this mob. It's time.

I already posted this in the preview thread, but North losing to Port has kept us in touch with the 8, even if barely. A win also puts us a game clear of St Kilda, Collingwood and Richmond. This

Congratulations to Jack Grimes in his 100th game today.  Hope he plays a blinder.

Tired.

 

Nope we're not good enough when it matters. If Wagner, OMac, Hunt, Brayshaw, petracca, Harmes, White, etc stick around and play 30 games together they'll get there.

We've been outcoached today.  Simple as that.  After quarter time they shut down our half back line and stopped our half forwards from being damaging as well.

Plus it doesn't help when you kick long to the wing so they can pick it off easily.

Proven right today. So many non-perceptive fans with their blinkers on in this forum who couldn't see how St Kilda's winning performances were a more mature brand of football than ours.

yes and two of their better performers have been Roo and Joey.  Will be so happy when these two retire.

We need a game-day tactician on the coaching panel.

We have no system at stoppages. Gawn just hits it & 3 dive on the ball. That's not a system.

Every other team has a system. One goes for the ball, the other two wait for the give.

Dumb.

This is a team we should beat every time.

 

Why should we beat them every time? They're a better team than us by every measure. This idea that we're better than St. Kilda is just delusional. Please tell me how you work it out?

We are not better than the Saints, Melbourne fans need to stop saying that we are. BUT we should be at least close to on par and therefor we should be at least winning close to 50%, the fact we aren't shows a massive mental weakness.

They play one on one when we have the ball... There is no zone. Then they work their ass off the other way

Yes, but is it a workable game plan going forward - i.e. do you think they'll be winning finals games with that plan in the next couple of years?

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
