Shiiit what a borefest...

Our boys haven't turned up. 

I've taken to counting the number of consecutive effective disposals in a row we can do. (<2m Handballs don't count)

Best I saw in first quarter were two consecutive kicks to a team mate.

Try it, it distracts you from the horror of it all and watching this club destroy talented youngsters careers over and over again.

We haven’t been bad on the ground but when the ball is in the air we are uncompetitive.

Fritz just shouldn’t be dropping that mark at this level. If he takes that and converts we’d be a goal behind which would be reflective of the game.

Nothing wrong with the defensive effort. Lacking any dare and clean take aways, May this be the last game without a second tall and can our first one please find something that resembles form. 

I believe 1987 was the last time Tom McDonald took a mark or kicked a goal. 
Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me. How is he a worst option than playing no forwardline.

We have the worst forward line In the league comfortably. No marking targets. Our list management decisions in throwing the bank at defenders has cost us a chance to have a run at the flag. Unless we can find a trade target in the off season this list build has been a waste of time.

North will be planning who they want with pick 1. May was a huge mistake, not to mention Lever. Overpaid duds.

Absolutely agree. Who owns those decisions. May is the laziest footballer and Lever has no impact whatsoever. It has assigned us to another rebuild.

How we going with Inside50 stat? That's the one that counts, that's the one that indicates 'potential'.

Thought the umps were fine. If Fritsch could take a chest mark and Kozzie could convert a soda we’d be about level. Cats just took their very few chances. We didn’t.

Dangers 50 was soft. 
AVB kicked the ball (looked bad but did connect)

their short kicks didn’t go over the ‘grass lines’ but were paid 15m

Kossie stopped play but was still called play on. 

yeah they were fine.

Brayshaw's kick inside 50 is classic Melbourne. Has plenty of time, but either the forwards don't lead to the right spot or the kick is poor, or both, and we can't make the most of the clearance.

    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
