Gee, 'suspect when pressured' is really tough on Salem.  He had 22 possessions @ 95.5%.  5 marks.  6 R50's. 4 Tackles.  He ran and he bounced and he kicked true.

Am genuinely curious as to what you saw to think he was suspect.

We must have lost by 20 goals!!

They were all hopeless according to Joeboy!

Not sure if you noticed JJC but we lost and again to a half decent side.

Do you see the pattern here.

I thought we hardly had a good player on the ground, really disappointing performance a missed opportunity.

Well said Old Dee. JJC and others must take into account they had 20 players from mid way through first quarter and we still found a way to lose. It's just happening all the time and even if we made it to finals will be out in first set. No leaders, no one to drag the team up and follow him. Blokes like Petracca get their ambitions mixed up with their capabilities and most of the rest choke big time when pressure is on.

Its quite amazing how poor jones has become so quickly 

Loyal servant and great player for us but used by date fast approaching 


Jones - Love Me Do

Jetta - 8 days a week

Frost - Drive my car

O.McDonald - Tomorrow never knows

Salem - Here comes the sun

Pedersen - Yesterday

 T. McDonald - While my guitar gently weeps 

Hogan - Happiness is a warm gun 

Garlett - You won’t see me

Petracca - Come Together

Oliver - Carry that weight

Spargo - I’m so tired

Tyson - Twist and Shout

Brayshaw - I saw her standing there

Fritsch - Day Tripper

Gawn - Ticket to ride

Harmes - Across the universe

Hunt - Get back 

Kennedy - One after 909

Lewis - Glass Onion

 Neal - Bullen - Norwegian Wood (This bird has flown)

We should learn from past mistakes IMO Petracca is like a few we have had shows  brilliance against poorer sides but not up to it against good sides. Use him as a trade to get a good player who gives every week. Before we have another Watts situation.

A half decent side would be a team like Essendon not Sydney.

Harmes - becoming very important

We have beaten no one of any consequence .

Does that not tell you there is a serious problem with the average level of talent ?

I'm saying Sydney are more than a "half decent side". I think we're somewhere around the average level pushing above.

My Dad used to say every cloud has a silver lining. 

Just remember RM you won't have to worry about getting finals tickets.

This is the best ever ?

 

I reckon Frosty did better than just break even. He can hold his head high. 

He didn’t kick half of the 18 behinds today.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
