Viney - obviously not ready 

Jones - embarrassing and costly

Salem - our ONLY winner

Jetta - loose and slow

Hibberd - disposal was abysmal 

O. McDonald - no redeeming component

Frost - a total liability 

Petracca - still looks overweight 

T. McDonald - no second efforts

Weidemann - overrated and underwhelming 

Spargo - has a brain

Oliver - rarely advantaged us

Brayshaw - possessions without purpose

Harmes - tried but limited 

Gawn - was easily overcome 

Hunt - far from convincing 

Neal-Bullen - laughably our fittest

Sparrow - not the worst

Fritsch - just some cameos

Melksham - not as fluent

Hoare - lacked game awareness 

Wagner - not the answer

Don't really like individualising but starting to think Frost and Oscar will never really be up to it.

Salem - lone class act

Weeds - not a ruckman

Spargo- not forward target

Viney - why selected?

Preuss - why not selected?

ANB - blew up early

Hibberd- shanky left foot

Hore - better second half

Frost - frequent cognitive dysfunction

Petracca -slow muscle man.

Jones - retirement looming

MFC - recruit outside run

Spargo should never ever play another game his disposal and fumbles were dreadful 

Jones and Vineys leadership?? Non existent

Oscar as slow and fundamentally fumbly as ever!!

Frost heart in mouth stuff

Petracca drinks own bathwater

Neal Bullen never ever does enough and misses 2 easy goals 

Weeds doubts remain

T Mac don;t do any more interviews 

Corey Wagner? Another pygmy like Spargo

Max can't do it by himself Why Recruit Pruess and not play him??

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

Cats will tear us a new one next week 

Finals will be a distant memory!

4 Loses in a Row

Sparrow did show a bit!

One of Spargo's main jobs is to apply defensive pressure. While watching the game, I noticed he was all arms and was constantly brushed aside. I just checked the stats and my eyes didn't lie, he applied 0 tackles.

And this isn't a direct knock on Spargo, as he is a 19 year old kid making his way, but you take Spargo out for someone like Vandenberg, and that adds a considerable amount of strength and defensive presence to the team. Hopefully he is back sooner rather than later.

Sorry loges, but you're only starting to realise this? They are only made to look half decent by our midfield. When we fail there, like we did today, they are exposed big time.

OMAC is a more uncoordinated version of Garland (which i previously thought impossible)

Frost is simply a dumb footballer, with loads of athleticism that is let down by his mere stupidity. The frightening thing is, he doesn't play to his strengths but his weaknesses.

Before the game - full of hope

during the game- screaming at TV

after the game - single malt solace!

Yes I was giving them the benefit of the doubt but they just keep on making the same mistakes.

    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
