We just can't buy a goal, and every time we do Carlton go straight back down the other end and score one.

Lazy, leaderless, unaccountable footy. Not one player standing up.

I was fuming when I saw Pederson had been dropped, our entire forward structure has fallen apart today and Weideman simply wasn't the right man to come in for him.

Agreed .... Playing a baby to win a crucial game of footy. The youth at all costs policy should be renamed "Youth at a massive cost"

Well done FD

Lost at the selection table and above the shoulders

Why do we always lose these games? After three years of it and with Roos at the helm, you'd think they would have sorted it out by now.

Possibly the worst coaching performance from Roos when you consider the team selection, match ups and structure.

His 'let them learn and adapt' ethos needs intervention at times. Goodwin needs to rip into these players and take control.

Patheric performance, woeful effort. As soon as we get pumped up in the media, we drink our own bath water, fans included. Finals are far from a certainty next year, as we are still weak in the head.

I raised this point two weeks ago. Take away finals it's apparently too much to expect players to turn up for work 22 days a year.

The coaches bought into the arrogance.

Well i hope this really really hurts because I am hurting big time.

Hard to split this and the Essendon game for worst losses of the year. I'm gutted right now. It was going to be such an old Melbourne thing to come out today and lose to bloody Carlton. We had to prove people wrong and show we've moved past this kind of heartbreaking, peahearted [censored].

But no, we serve up this predictably terrible performance and throw finals in the bin.

You guys (and gals) are all nuts. Hogan has quite literally been our only forward today.

Exactly Chook.  19 touches and 14 marks.  His kicking for goal over the off season needs some serious work, but to suggest he has a bad attitude with stats like that is ludicrous.

No doubting his set shots have increasingly become an issue as this year has gone on though,

Petracca as well for that matter. Both could be anything, but have a fixable flaw in their games.

    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
