Who didn't get to that last contest,  poor effort

Buggy surely gone for 6+ stupid act and might not get a call up again this year. 

6? No way, Mills not even knocked out. 2 about right.

We haven't even put the key in the ignition. There's bad football, there's not trying, and then there's pacing.  We are pacing ourselves. We are confident in our defense and we should be. Every shot they had was on an angle except for that last one. Once we kick into second gear as we did in the second half of that quarter, we kick goals. They might shoot ahead but we'll come back. We are well drilled and smart. That was a great contest and we deserve to be in front imo.

Why do we always start so bad? At least we are winning and know we finish well. Trac is just magic. Wagner and white nervous I guess. Bugg gone for 5 weeks but Garlett in next week so all good. Frost makes be uneasy but tough game.

Losing mills might hurt the swans badly with their run in a game like this off a short break

Like last week we weren't the best team in the first quarter but with some luck we rode the storm and somehow find ourselves with a handy little lead but we have to start showing some composure. So offer handballs are getting us into trouble and we're choosing the wrong options or not hitting them with kicks. No Salem on the half back line is hurting there. 

But last week we settled and I'm back us to be able to do it again. 

But not to harp on again but I'm so [censored] off with Bugg right now I almost want him to be forced to sit out the rest of the match. Dog, weak as [censored] act by him, whenever he is available for selection again I want him to be be forced to play a further 3 good matches in the VFL before coming into the seniors. He's not automatic best 22, and that was assault, plain and simple.

Meh.  He'll do his time and that will be his punishment.  Not angry at him at all, stuff like that happens.

One thing we really need to do to stay in the game is to get our pressure up across half forward.  2 or 3 times this term we've allowed them to run it out too easily, rather than put some pressure on them and keep it down there to give our backline a rest.  Swans will kick straight eventually.

Lot of fumbling out there, need to tidy it up

    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

    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.
