We're one goal down. I just assumed we were 80 points down by some of the posts.

Notable inclusions: Jack Watts now we can all get back to our regular lives and worry about where in the 8 we're going to finish

I like Smith and think he should play this year. But if he isnt ready Garland seems the logical one to play, he is there to be a backup so if Hibbard is out why not use him? I dont like Harmes in the

One thing that stands out, and I think someone else mentioned it, is that we're a little too tall in the forward line.  It doesn't matter too much tonight, but we can't go in to Round 1 with Hogan, Watts, Weideman and Spencer there.  Saints will kill us on the rebound.

Neither team is playing with much rhythm and there isn't a lot of urgency from either side at this stage. Almost feels like going through the motions to build some match fitness.

ANB is staking his claim for perhaps a defensive half forward role, Oliver has been in everything and Weideman gets to the right spots... but that's about it for us.

 

FWIW- that Tyson kick was a howler, but no one was willing to run hard enough to create a free option for him- everyone was waiting for the siren.

It never is. 

Setting up well for the most part, a few mistakes have let them in.

You're right, just feel like it needs to be said for those who might be relying on supporters posting here tonight.  It's easy to get sucked into the group speak.

Garland barely VFL standard.

Done one bad thing in my book, better than others. 

Those last moments of the quarter still proves we have a lot to learn even when it comes to experienced senior players. 

I love Jonesy but he handballed to a still player facing the wrong way, and from there it all went wrong. Tyson then did what I can only describe as a brain fart, kicking it right across goal to no one in particular. Lucky not to concede a goal there. 

How we're playing isn't perhaps as bad as it sounds on paper, we need to get control over our skills and make the dominance in the ruck pay off.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
