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.

But luckily Eve was at full forward.

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

Agree ( so far ).


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

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. 

The first game i will watch this week without any distractions or commitments.

Dees by 27pts.

Small joke WWS.


Spargo spotted (alongside Stretch) in the airport this morning. Possibly a quick return post-injury, or at least named as an emergency.

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

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.

This was the case last year.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
