We got Dunkley when we could have got Pickett? Bloody hell.

And so could possibly 16 other teams too. An inexact art / science is recruiting

Pickett coming to a club that plays with no purpose would not have helped him.

I wonder if Goody and Co were watching and thinking "we are no wear near this level"?

Small Forwards, pace, foot skills and turnover pressure, is all he should be thinking about over the break and pre season.

All we need is

A home ground

A dynamic president

Recruiters with a vision

A development program

A skilled coach

A club culture

A dozen or so extra top line players.

Sounds like the exact opposite to where we've been heading doesn't it

Would have to have been one of the most boring GF's after quarter time.

Sure they have a lot of talent, but GWS remain a cultureless franchise.

Just heading home after a thoroughly un entertaining game.  Tigers now with 12 premierships, equal with us.  The best team over the last 12 weeks won this day, deservedly so.  Regardless it was dullsville at the G and not representative of a great season. A pity for us neutrals.

Hopefully the Storm can roll the Cronksters tonight...

Quote an excuse from me.

You outrage everything

You and WiseBlood

The Happy Clappers

My Outrage is how pathetic my club is

It’s all too hard. 

Mid you knew what I have been through in 56 years, then you would understand why 

But I know that would be beneath you....

Saw our game in Perth in round 9. We put in a good show for over half the game but as you say when WC went up a gear it was all just too hard for us. We more already less gave up the season then and there,  That game summed up our whole shocker of a season.

Might have helped if Goodwin reviewed the preliminary and gave them some direction.

Many ways are learned through many years. Call it experience.

Richmond finished last year exactly the same as we did. 

It’s all just too hard, when it counts

That Round 9 game was our best performance for the year. The peak. 

collapsed after that

It would take a dull brain to not see what it takes to win a flag and not compare where we are to where we need to get to. Each to there own though, ignorance and denial helps some sooth the pain.

    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
