Just now, leave it to deever said:

I posted earlier if we make finals we could cause damage. I amuse myself.

The fact that we always give up a goal in the last minute of quarters probably suggests we cannot play out full quarters of football. A team that cannot play out 4 quarters of football is not causing any damage deep in the finals. Not against the good sides.

Is getting fined for staging still a thing? if so Rhys Maitherson will have to sell his house to cover the fines.. the block has ducked 7-8 times clearly already. 

fortunately it seems on the most part the umpires know he's a sneaky little [censored] and aren't buying into it

Correct. 

As much as the umps are rigged, we are playing like absolutely garbage. 

Hibberd, Hogan and Tyson. Three players who are winning their spots. Everyone else is in first great and taking a nice week off.

Just not switched for long enough ATM. Agree Wagners days are numbered

Did we really expect anything different? Lions came to play today, knowing that we are such a gettable team when playing someone below us. They know they can win whilst we just think it will happen. At least I don't have to waste money on finals tickets!

our forward line always works worse with hogan in it. we go so hogan focussed every time. lower your eyea inside 50 ffs!!!!

And any chance of tightening up on beams and zorko!! 

and garlett ffs. just get it done

if we are a clean skilled footy side we are 6 goals up. Just to add more frustration we let them waltz through for a goal on the siren. FML big style.

Plus, they can probably hear me getting stuck into him over the boundary every time he does it.

Omg can we stop this [censored]?

Hogan is an A grade player. He is the reason we are still in this game. 

Our team is 100% better off with him in it. Our players just need to stop being so dumb and lower their eyes going inside 50. It's not rocket surgery!

After we won the free kick for holding the ball on Hipwood, whoever took the kick (possibly Melksham) didn't bother to get back behind the Mark far enough so his kick only went about 35 metres as he had to kick over the man on the mark.

There doesn't  look much between  these sides at ground level. We simply aren't a finals side. Getting slaughtered in contests in the air. Need to fix our tall defender situation  in the summer.

Hibberd is a freak. I love him so much.

I reckon vince will get offered a week for the second collision with Clay Beams. 

He elected to bump and was looking straight at Beams.

Bernie has to be one of the dumber players I've seen at his age. He never directs his aggression at the ball. He goes the man nearly every time and it's becoming seriously tiresome.

Agreed. How he got a game ahead of Salem I will never know. He is an ordinary player. 

Hunt is very sore. Some sort of lower back issue. Looked unhappy on the boundary line.

I mean when max had the ball smashed out of his hand it was exactly what Hogan did... wasn't 50 though. would have been if it were a lions player. 

I think it's time to send a please explain off. there were multiple examples of them getting frees and the same thing happens to us and it's play on.

Hogan and Garlett have been held so much the opposition might as well be stitched to them.

Can't buy a free and 50s only going one way. Just ridiculous. 

Half their fifties ...so tiggy touch soft ffs.

That said half our lot playing like little leaguers. 

Be nice to stick a few more tackles. Be good to just kick the ball occasionally...and to someone :huh:

Wont get far in sep playing this crap

Brisbane good, play(ing) much better than their ladder position. Making us work. We can go up a gear, but will we? Still plenty not getting into the game - and to state the obvious, we really miss Viney.

Pedersen another decent game, though should have nailed at least one of those goals.

We would be smashed today without hogan. How about looking at garlett who continually wastes it. Or harmes who has done nothing. Hannan quiet again in half of footy.

Poor forward structure. Everyone leading back at goal with no one leading to the ball carrier. We've been lucky a few times where they've been out and its been max one out with someone small or jetta one out with hipwood

Hogan didn't actually touch the ball though, he tried and missed. Hogans was for less clear than Gawns andt Gawns wasn't paid. How about Pedo and Garlett both clearly held with out it and not paid. Ridiculous.

    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. 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
