What they are saying at St Vincent Street

I have never gone so far as to actually start a topic before despite spending my 10+ years of membership wasting too much of my workday reading Demonland.  I was so happy last night, i thought i would take a chance.

I would have to say that they seem a bit upset at Port Adelaide over yesterdays game and if anyone thinks Simon Goodwin receives a pasting on this site, they should take note of the Port vitriol directed at Ken Hinkley.

A few comments from Big Footy are repeated below and these are some of the gentler ones.

 

Also, when did Alex Neal Bullen turn into an untackleable beast? fu** me dead, we couldn't stop him. I thought he was a spud.

I think people really underestimated Melbourne coming into this. They have a very strong defence and an absolutely monstrous midfield.

It is staggering that we are so poor in every area. Poorly skilled. Dumb decisions. Not strong enough. Not tall enough. Not fast enough. Unfit. No discernible game plan. sh*t leadership. What the f**k do we actually do at training? I refuse to believe that our players (well most of them anyway) are at the limit of their potential. So we need a clear out of the leadership at the club - chairman, coach and captain. We're just so poorly led at every level.

Another club waltzes in with a SeAsOn-DeFiNiNg win.

Now that the siren has gone I can safely say, insipid performance and a disgusting display of football. Forwards invisible, the only time I did see them was when they crashed into each other. Umps were no help, gave Melbourne a couple. Sure am thrilled to have played Melbourne into form. We ******* suck, sack ken, sack Bassett, fu** it sack Voss too. Gang sh*t we out.

Melbourne are good, we aren’t.

Can’t see Melbourne not winning the flag now tbh

 

Marshall must be on the trade table

Who's going to want a 200cm third tall with no presence, can't kick and floats around the field like a fern frond with no impact.

Edit: and yes I realise this also describes Ben brown, but he kicked 10 in an afl match.

 

And to think we were out coached by Goodwin.

That game exposed all of our weaknesses at once. Biggest of which is our gameplan which relies on the other team not being very good.

Too many passengers and credit too melbourne who played the game I wanted us to play.

actually looked like our mids and forwards were rubbish. deep defense kept the gap closer. the rest were sh*t. boak sh*t. drew sh*t. everyone forward of full back was dog sh*t.

At least Ben Brown didn’t kick 10 goals. That’s a positive I guess.

yeah, so you agree, rozzee is sh*t, has the contested ball awareness of a minature poodle.

Players: What's the gameplan this week Ken?
Ken: Oh, we'll chip it around giving Melbourne time to get everyone behind the ball.
Players: So same as usual against the top teams then?

We put the ken in Farken Average.

I'm sick of crap teams going past us - if the trend continues, bloody Carlton will play in a grand final before we will LOL.

Melb brought in the tallest slowest forward line I’ve seen in the past 20 years of football. It was set up for us to run off of them.

Almost all of their good players had a night out too. Gawn, Patracca, Oliver, May, Salem, McDonald, you know the guys a good coach would have plans for. Hinkley is a bum.

    As I said in another thread, Port fans hate Hinkley and they are right. He is a terrible tactician and can't get lemonade out of lemons.

    Let's hope they keep him for a few more seasons then.

    Quite a lot of talented players at Port.

    Absolutely. They have a very strong list. And yes I know they have had a few injuries this year, but they keep finishing high enough on the ladder that you can't sack Hinkley, but then they don't do any damage against strong sides or in finals. A terrible position to be in.

    They would be a perfect fit for Clarkson.

    Please do not allow Clarkson to get his hands on all of Ports talent.

     

    I want at least one flag with our own list first.

    So we're not the only club that worries about whether Carlton have gone past us

    I will never be able to look at Connor Rozee without thinking of this. ?
    AND they misspelled his name. Their own player!

    Im no hinkley apologist. But why do people think they have a good list.

    They've been 50/50 for a few years now except for last year which frankly was a gift to them only having to play in 2 states with minimum disruptions.

    They have 2 midfielders you'd worry about.  (amon not bad but he's not strong tier b)

    They have one key forward in Dixon who's never kicked 50 goals in a season.  

    And a bunch of kids who go in and out of games because they aren't that good? Consistency is a thing. 

    robbie gray is a gun but on the wrong side of 33. 

    Last night you could see holes in their list everywhere, primarily their midfield. And against the teams with better lists their deficiencies gets exploited.   I dunno, 5-8th seems about right.

    I sat next a port supporter last night who commented after Kozzie kicked his goal from the 50, saying that he was soft and had only 2 kicks all night.  I gently replied that he had 10 tackles and that was his 3rd goal but thanks for his analysis ???

    Disgraceful!  Melbourne fans would never do that with Bradshaw, Jordan or Wiedermann.  :D

    I can get really irate at certain Dees players, especially our stars when they make Hollywood mistakes, but this is the best attack on a player from a supporter's club, that I have ever seen. I hope Marshall doesn't read it. Stuff me, that's harsh (if just a little bit accurate).

    Good ! … it’s brilliant Great line 

    I do enjoy reading the vitriol on losing team sites….. when it’s not us ….. 

    I’d love Wines to get pxxxed off and come home, but I think it’s too late, and I reckon we actually have him covered

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
