Watts is back to the old Watts. He's been terrible. Soft, slow and not switched on.

Watts really has been insipid.  When Hannan kicked his goal watts literally walked to congratulate him.  There seems to be no enthusiasm in this team today.

I don't usually post on a gameday thread, but I'm compelled to do so.

Bugg and Wagner are bog ordinary.  Jack Trengove must truly be the pits if he can't get a game ahead of Bugg.  Billy must smell too.

Tyson has no poise under pressure.

Tom McDonald isn't a forward's a-hole.  A couple of times mid game it's worked sending him forward, but Goodwin is a slow learner if he thought it was worth trialling in a second game.  

We used to be able to play some quality tempo footy, but that's now a distant past.  

Having the McDonald's and Frost as your key defenders is ulcer-inducing.  

We may come back and win this game, but we're a long way off being a quality football side.  

I get the feeling they dring their own bathwater down at the club and Macca is expert at stating our list is the manna from heaven, but one can't help but feel they're way too satisfied with what's around the corner.  Forget the frigging corner and worry abou the next bloody contest.

Watching at a lovely hostelry n the city, myself and lovely lady reading this, absolutely beats the NFL half time extravaganza  hands down

Saty don't blame fed up supporters, they have every right to be angry with the garbage served up in the first half by their team. It was trash.

Might get howled down for this, don't care.

Oliver needs to kick the ball more and handball less. Sure his handballs are quick, but their effectiveness has dropped off remarkably. The game is called football, not handball.

No howling from me. I dont rate Oliver anywhere near as highly as others. Sure he gets lots of the ball but they are all rubbish little handballs to go nowhere or to someone 30cm away who is under usually more pressure than he is under.

At least Clarry gets in there and busts his behind, dont care that some of his handballs are errant. If we had a team that played to his intensity I can bloody guarantee we wouldnt be the rabble we are now. 98% of the team could learn something from a KID.

Or Lewis, Or Watts etc etc

Close to our No.1 issue - Z E R O leadership

I say it regularly and many shout me down. 

But it is the core of the problem.

Watts is woefully out of form.

And totally lacking confidence.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
