Geez, of all teams in the league we are allowing ourselves to be physically intimidated by Norf... Higgins especially. Our guys shouldnt be able to look each other in the eyes at half time for allowing that.

This. This is the Brereton line in the sand moment. we've never meant it, physically. I've lost count of the number of line in the sand have and never seen us mean it.

 

Now we're in touch (thanks Frost), we need to mean it. For once in 50 years.

This reminds me. This is exactly what happened last year against Norf in Launceston. They wrecked us in the first quarter, and we got back into it in the 2nd. It was a battle of the rucks that day and North just got us in the end.

You’re mental. We’re back in the game because of him, Viney, Frost, Hannan and Salem.

The wife thinks I am when I watch the Dees but there is a limit and he always goes over it. Love his tagging but not when he gives away stupid free kicks, or get suspended maybe you do.

So I landed at Athens airport to see us 26 down (17 to 43). I depart for Istanbul with us 3 points down. Sheesh!

I like when he makes the opposition earn it and leads from the front. Maybe you don’t.

Clean Clearances

Melbourne .... 20 (7 centre)

North Melb ... 14 (8 centre)

Better ball movement in that quarter ... we're getting our game going. 

It's that downfield possession from our clearances that has improved - much better that quarter.

got to give hannan his credit, he is getting us back into this game

Agree, he is having a huge influence up forward.

We clearly are not liking North's heavy handed tactics. Why don't we hand out some of our own?

    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

    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
