He's really got the yips. He's Ian Baker-Fritsch.

I'd give Mitch Brown another contract in a heartbeat if I had to make the decision. Surprisingly intelligent footballer.

Warning signs already some really dumb footy played there despite early dominance and should have 4 on the board, not 1.4!

I thought Weideman had a really strong block of form in the middle of the year. He's been utterly useless in the second half of the season. He gets pushed aside by the weakest of bodying. 

Without him taking grabs or bringing the ball to ground, our forwardline obviously doesn't function.

Oliver's disposal by hand was shocking that quarter.

Essendon look thoroughly ordinary. We should win easily, but we find ourselves a few points down. Hopeless.

I may be recalling incorrectly, but he seemed to perform better alongside Jackson.

We are playing all over Essendon.

We can't finish some really good passages of play.

The last handball in the chain being unnecessary and error riddled, is absolutely killing us.

Goodwin trying to play a game plan that he hasn’t recruited, or trained for.

We don’t have the skills for this (because the coach insisted on contested ball beasts) and we proved it all quarter.

Cant wait for 22 more games of this next year.

Absolutely pathetic to leave nobody at home, so if we get the ball at half back there's nothing to kick to.

Can't stand it.

And the constant bombing in.  Who was Petracca even kicking to?  How can this still be happening week after week? LOWER YOUR F*@KING EYES!   Show me an All Australian that kicks like that.

That and Fritsch's predictable kicking for goal. Boring.

Every quarter of every game for as long along as I can remember. Let's show how limp brained footballers we can be and give up a scoring chance in the last minute. I guess that's what bottom 8 teams do and that's us. 

I'd bet my house that if a tally was done of last-minute-of-quarter goals against over the last few years, we would be miles ahead of the rest of the competition.

Honestly you could sit down and write the script for this. Talk about a tragedy in 4 acts.

Sorry but even Shakespeare would struggle to get his head around this scenario.

Terrible quarter. Keeping them in the game. Fritsch can't kick for [censored].

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
