O Mac to Lynch? Or Omac to Riewoldt?

 

that is absolutely terrifying ?‍♂️

My Goodness! OMac in again? Heaven help us.

All the Demon backs will have to cover for him against Richmond just to fill the OMac gap (and simultaneously be caught, repeatedly, out of position many, many times - prepare ye the way of the rampant Tiger forwards. Goodwin could not have done better for those opportunistic runners. 

We know where the attack will be directed: at OMac wherever he may be. He is as good as two men missing for most of the game and into the last quarter, three or four more men missing as our other backs display total exhaustion from  the now-required double-teaming for three quarters. Frosty and HIbberd will bear the brunt of it all and Salem will be shagged by half-time.

Oscar -v- Riewoldt/Lynch. Pray for very heavy rain all day Saturday.

Pray for a game-ending earthquake at quarter time!

Guarantee the sponsor prize Jag ends up in a Richmond supporters hand to cap off the spanking and show the absurdity that our sponsor will give the major prize to anyone who turns up rather than the cash paying members or the sponsor clubs own supporters!!

Am I the only one thinking this will be the mirror image of the last time we met? Like all of our double up matches where we don't really learn a thing and repeat the same mistakes, however much captain crash n bash would like to talk about how we're learning from the year  (SEN today)

We'll shut up shop, flood back all game with no one to kick to forward and avoid a massive embarrassing prime-time loss as the Tigers keep a 12-24 point margin for most of the game, before kicking away in the last quarter after we "excitedly" get to within 1 goal. We'll of course never really have been in the contest.

May still unfit. OMac another game by default. Tim Smith out injured again. What a f’ing joke. 

I don't care how old they are, but we need to recruit a senior KPF next year, even if they're depth. If by miracle, we're contending next year but Weid or Tmac get injured, we can't rely on T. Smith to play more than 1 or 2 games in a row. There goes any forward line chemistry and we're back to being scored ridiculously easily on the forward half turnover.

Anyone that wouldn't take Jenkins or even Westhoff for a couple of years over having T. Smith and Keilty alone in reserve is absolutely kidding themselves.

On  last week's form Hore should definitely be in & Omac out. WTF? Our coach is hell bent on finishing bottom.

All going to depend on what gear the Tuggers want to get out of.

Potential for a an absolute drubbing.

ANB OUT...who would have predicted that? (Err...everyone for the last 3 months).

Shame May doesnt get up, but looking after him for the longer term comes first.

We have so much to improve to just be competitive.  Everyone will expect us to get spanked.  Set up and play faux-tough, and then get absolutely pantsed on the turnover.  It is a struggle to see how we will kick a competitive score, and even harder to see how we stop them.  OMac just doesnt man up, Frost doesnt think when he disposes of it. No Nev, Hibbard looks at half pace.

Im glad they sell beer.

I stopped caring a long time ago, but surely Hore should have come in for McDonald allowing Lever to go to Lynch or Riewoldt.

Did we really give up two first round draft picks for a back pocket?

Lever will help us win a premiership 

Stop selling him so short 

He’s a beauty

Would have been better rolling Petty back and throwing Omac out

Indictment on the club OMac gets another game after his shocker last week. Bartlett promised action ... Well Glen

Can I give you a hint.. Coaching and Selections are mystifying, to say the least, Yeah I know injuries and all, but for one of our "Finds" in Hore, to miss again and Oscar to be given yet another game is almost negligent. As a member, Im not happy with this!! Agree with post Petty back and u know who out.

Not happy, but not unexpected!!

Will be interesting to see given the season we have had if Jag re-sign as their existing sponsorship was only for one yr. 

btw I think the tigers will be after a % booster this week.

I’m going simply because I feel like the $72,000 I spent on memberships this year has been a total waste of money. With 2 home games left before I bugger off, I’ll go to try and win the Jag so at least something can be salvaged from this season. 

We will get smashed. This is an ugly ugly team.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
