spargo is so overrated here 

He is one player that has a red hot crack every time he is in which is more than you can say for others but he is just too small and limited which is a shame

And JKH hasn’t been as bad as some say. Can see some of Neville Jetta in him. Could be our next small defender.

I've got my annual Breaking Bad rewatch on one channel with the Dees on the other (muted of course). Far less stressful. Some kind of zen has come over me since last week, clearly.

We're playing poorly, so is Adelaide, but we're worse. Adelaide is seriously average, and if we lose this, so are we.

We can win this. Midfield must dominate more.

Nothing like Nev. 

Not strong in the contest

Not strong over head

Literally [censored] himself if he has the ball and there is opposition within 5 meters

Cant kick

Only still in it because Adelaide are so ordinary. Any half decent tem would be 6-8 goals up already. I'm officially over Garlett, delist. Petracca is the ultimate built like Tarzan plays like Jane, not a footballers [censored]

Brayshaw, Oliver, ANB, TMac and Gawn are our top 5 players so far. Hard fought match, we are right in this.....fighting hard Dees. Good to see.

[censored] you Melbourne with your [censored] typical shot on goal on the siren. 

[censored] your tackling. [censored] your softness. [censored] your defensive efforts. Argh!!!! 

We’re not playing well but effort is there. Had we kicked straight we’d be in front so relax. A lot of nerves out there, ball is hot and slippery

So lucky.  We were so fumbly and rushed.  They dominated us in the first.  We should not still be in it, but we are. Maggots-my god they are one sided.  Gotta switch up at half time

We might get investigated for tanking playing JKH, Smith and Spargo.....

You mean the first year player doing more this year than many experienced players on our list?

Seriously NFI

We’re right in it, but this is not doing my nerves any good at all. I don’t know if I can cope with the rest of this season!

Everyone's complaining about JKH, Garlett, Spargo, and Smith. I'm over here wondering when Jesse Hogan is going to show up.

Umpires setting a new standard for worst umpiring of the year.  Two first half goals to the Crows from marginal RUBBISH, Zero to us.  That deliberate out of bounds against Smith was a shocker, has been half a dozen worse sense from Adelaide that haven't been paid and in front of goal.  This stuff really makes me mad.

I feel like we were on top for most of that quarter, Adelaide got gifted a couple of goals from the umps and we missed some very getable opportunities (JKH, Harmes, Garlett). 

But certainly Max came into the game more, as did Brayshaw, Clarry, and Petracca (although he wasted it a couple of times). 

We’re well and truly in it, but we’ve got to start taking our chances. Kicking goals is how you silence the crowd.

Are we 10 goals down and I am unaware? Any positives? It’s a tight tough game. We are having a crack. They look better structured forward and moving the ball out of stoppage are cleaner than us. Well in it if we get cleaner and take our chances as they tire. If we are going to be critical Jones and Hogan need earn their pay in the second half. Both been poor.

Oscar is doing quite well considering Jenkins is a lot stronger. 

Spud vs Spud makes for a fascinating contest.

With how our tackling is going, maybe it’s time to try Vanders. I can’t imagine he’d be worse than Tyson who is like a snail out there.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
