We haven’t beat the Swans since Dean Bailey was our coach. He’s been dead for four years.

With the side in poor form, and knowing how the Swans own us, i have zero confidence about tomorrow’s match.

Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

 

 

 

Adam was playing full back for Tel-Aviv.

TMac Stretch Hore and Spargo are on the plane.

No Preuss

If this is the case, Preuss will have decided that he joined the wrong club given all the pre-season hype about him forming a partnership with Max. He will be disappointed and frustrated.

If ANB is in the team I will not watch this game. 

Where you really thinking of watching the game?

Go for a romantic candlelight dinner, nice music in the background, a very nice red (don't go for value forget the price), TV or mobile not close by. And don't check the result until next day.

He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, itr decision making by the coaching staff.

It is called desperation!

Might be because it is not on the weekend.

Huh? I said its coming up so fast, i know its not on the weekend.

Would not be surprised if this is our biggest loss for the year. I honestly think we will be slaughtered.

Next week the turnaround begins and we start to rebuild confidence in the game plan and each other (players i mean)

Cant bring myself to watch this game live, thats how little faith i have in the team right now.

Dees by 24 point.

We’ll come out strong and keep them at arms length for the entire night.

I'm weirdly confident this will be the week we turn things around.

I'm sure it's completely misplaced. I just don't see how we can play much worse than we have been to date.

If we can continue on with some consistency then I'm expecting Franklin to kick 12 on Frost, and Oscar to find himself manning someone like Papley who will kick 6 on him by running circles around him.

Can't wait, should be a corker.

I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

Agree ( so far ).

There is almost zero chance of ANB being dropped so don't get your hopes up guys.

if you are confused as to why - have a look at the Casey game on the weekend

Excellent point. The lack of depth amplifies why the outlook is so grim. ANB know he will get picked. Selection pressure is a critical factor in keeping players honest. ANB would definitely be dropped if there was an alternative.

I used to say that back in the Neeld days and look how that turned out.

@dazzledavey36   what you gonna do if ANB isnt dropped tonight?     Lets see if your dream finally comes true.

Surely he wont be named @Petraccattack.. i cannot physically or mentally see how the [censored] he can justify his place in the team.

Can't believe Jeff was not on the plane! 

He is the only one with a bit of x factor and knows where the goals are.  His defensive skills can't be any worse than anyone else in the team.

He was out injured for just a few weeks so how many games at Casey does he need?  Instead we take an undersized, underdeveloped kid who was dropped after one game and recovering from a broken jaw.

Just don't understand our selection criteria anymore.

Fear his card has been stamped.

    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
