Immediately after the game Gawn was on Twitter. The club's leadership and cultural issues persist.

    At least we kept Daniher quiet.

    Positives:

    No turnovers.

    Backline kept the opposition scoreless.  May and Lever anchored us well.

    Hussle around the packs and pressure from the mids and forwards didn't allow them to touch the ball at all.

    Bombers are absolute knobs.

    Negatives:

    Conor McKenna.

    We didn't score.

    We struggled again with that mid forward connection and couldn't get the ball inside 50 once.

    Tom McDonald to cop it again this week after not clunking a single mark.

    Thoughts?

    One correction, Conor McKenna was one of the positives.

    Good to see Bennell got through another week and Vanders didn’t break his foot for a change.

    I thought some of the outer fringe shows at the Comedy Festival were appallingly unfunny, this topic takes the top spot

    Perhaps this is an attempted joke. Who knows.

    But saty your relentless bagging of fellow posters, individually and collectively is becoming exhausting. 

    The great irony is that you bag posters for their supposed negativity. Ironic because it reflects a seeming complete lack of self awareness given how negative you so often are of late.

    I know I can put you on ignore (I have done so previously). But i'd rather not. I don't put many people on ignore.

     You are a long term poster that has contributed a lot of good content and positive energy. Your training reports are a good example of that.

    It would be great, in these somewhat dispiriting times for some more of that positive energy.

    The players weren't switched on at all. It's as if they were somewhere else.

    Has been let to get away with it for far too long.

    Moderators need to have a serious private discussion with him on whether he just needs to think about just slowly stepping away from the forum for good. 

    It's becoming very tiresome when every thread is hijacked by his constant negative criticism on posters who are trying to have a fair old footy discussion.

    Someone's starts a thread taking the [censored] out of the current situation and he comes in to give it a wack.

    I've spoken to old demonland posters on bigfooty who are no longer member purely on the fact they got sick and tired of the constant negative criticism from him.

    Let's not lose any more good people thanks @Demonland

    AFL going to screw us for something that’s not our fault. Will need to play an extra match later, whether it’s 3 in a fortnight or dedicated round when the other teams get a rest.

    Honestly do we care in this year that could still crash around our ears? I am caring less every week.

    A season of practice matches,  going nowhere but development.  Lets do It.   And continue Dee-veloping our youngs.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
