Exactly. It's a crappy excuse

Even poorer consisting our excellent run with injuries this season.  Finals sides are gearing up to peak. We wave the white flag.

    I heard from a very reliable source today, that before the Geelong game the players were cooked and according to the source the club thought they had about 2 quarters left in them.

    Take that for what you want.

     

    so what was their excuse for the Carlton debacle ??

    Those two last games should not be forgotten if we are to improve beyond our present mediocrity. ( yes we have improved from poor to mediocre but there is a long long way to go.)

    Congrats Jack. Next stop: Brownlow.

    I mentioned before - reading the Roos tea-leaves - that Max has some work to do (as signposted in his pressers).

    So not surprised by Hunt's regard from the coach's box.

    But Matrix Oliver? I still thought he'd be contender in the Rising till the very end. What's the deal there?

    Clarry was good. The reality is there were several others who were better and more consistent over more games. 

    Little matter. The kid is going to be a bazooka. Gun doesn't do him justice.

    Is there a breakdown of how Choo-Choo polled in the games that he did play? Strange in my opinion that they don't have a mechanism to counter for absenteeism, like shaving off the bottom handful - five or so - of individual polling games - not a big dif for Clarry, but Jack probably deserved last year's Bluey as well.

    Agree on the Bazooka though. Our best prospective chance alongside Jack for a Chas in a long time.

    Most intelligent people realise the afl is not even. Age and conditioning play a massive part in outcomes. Im not going to pretend i know afl conditioning but i think its a safe assumption unless you're already elite most players would take a year or 2 to condition for a full year.

    So as a fun exercise go run a couple kms a day for a week or 2 and let me know if you tire out by the end of it.

    Maybe then you can put some perspective in your dribble

    You even admit it in your comment that we were not funals standard

    I'm looking forward to watching Roos' speech myself but it sounds like he's tried to impart a last bit of wisdom not just to the players but the club. Pointing to Richmond and saying "don't become that again". 

    Over to you now Goody!

    Surely anyone who went last night must have heard anything about off field trades and movement?

    Bit surprised Maxy got 3rd. Surprised Jonsey was 2nd but maybe I have just forgotten his first half of the year. He really is a great leader. Well done to Jack. But I would not have had votes for the essendon, carlton or geelong game. Just because they were terrible games. But anyway that wasnt going to happen. 

    Sounds like it was a good night and a good atmosphere in the room.

    I asked Jack Watts if his mate Hoges was staying put and he just gave me the thumbs up and said "Yep he'll be ok". Pretty sure that's his standard response though.

    How impressive is Brendan McCartney.  I think his impact on the group can't be underestimated.

    Dean Kent is not a dumb operator. Picked the winner and the top 5. Only one who said Viney will win it.
    Clearly listens in post match reviews.

    How good is Hunt's speech. God I LOVE him!

    And just goes to show how valuable Grimes is, he might be not a world beater, but he is a great leader off the field.

    I liked his description of Hunt: "...will stop at nothing to get the best out of himself and will be a fantastic player for this club for a long time".

    I would say that Hunt is one of our better public speakers.  He was composed, articulate, gracious and he remembered to thank supporters!!

    He has all the on and off field attributes to become a real leader for our club.    No pressure but Hunt could easily become Viney's V.C.

    I said on here when we got him, it was the best bit of business we did, I asked Hunt about the big hug he gave McCartney when he got the award and he said 'he's earned it'

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
