One positive to come out of a game like this is that Demonland really comes to together and there's no bickering.

A bloke I know cut himself while shaving down there.  It got infected and he nearly died from arse-nic poisoning.

Tim Watson is a bit special. Talking up how good Geelongs recruitment was last year. Umm, yeah, they got the best player in the comp though free agency mate. That makes it look pretty decent. Who else? Oh, Scott Selwood. 

Yeah. Nailed it.

Why play Weiderman ahead of Pedo? The kid has hardly touched it. Talk about destroying his confidence.

 

Why play Pedo in a game like this when Weeds needs experience against top defenders?

Perspective.

Congratulation Melbourne. 

Not long ago, we came to this ground and lost by 186. That was one of the darkest days of our club, and started what was a horror run towards oblivion. Somehow we lucked out and managed to get Paul Roos to come and save our sorry arses. Yet here we are, 3 years on, and we are finishing off his career the way we started it, by playing gutless, skilless, pathetic football.

What a sad way to finish off what felt like an optimistic season and has turned into absolute [censored] the last two weeks. From finals contenders to garbage.

Pretty funny the people on here making judgement calls on players' careers based on today's game.

Whilst disappointing, today cannot be entirely unexpected. Good motivation for the off-season.

We may have improved some elements but it's hardly a successful is it if this is the litmus

This is not the litmus test but we have improved but it has not been a success ....wait

So why is this the litmus? Why not say the Hawthorn game was the litmus?

No one game is definitive of the season, the season is the litmus and the season has been a success.

It would just have been more successful if we hadn't turned in a disgrace of a performance today.

I disagree with the success mantra titan. You play footy to win premierships. When we do that we have had success. We have definitely improved this year though.

As for next year who knows. Fingers crossed but footy is a brutal game. There's no guarantees we will automatically be a finals team unless everything goes well. Even then we will need a bit of luck also. Oh, and some decent off season trades!

[censored] disgusting Melbourne. Entire season of hope undone in 2 rounds .... Great way to enter the off season.

If you've lost hope after the last two weeks you're kidding yourself.

    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
