"I haven't made my mind up about the Dees yet" so incisive

 

They really phoned that one in didn't they? 

  • Where are the dees at? Haven't made my mind up
  • Gawn, Grundy how is that going to work. Don't know.
  • Forward line could be an issue. Might be fine. Dees fans excited about JVR.
  • Off field issues last year. i'm sure they have been sorted
  • Straight sets losses last year in finals. Will that leave scars? Probably not.

Makes me wonder what kind of microscope Barrett has.

I get the feeling that I shouldn’t bother listening to this podcast. 


Always good to read footy news related to us but this is very meh. Pull ya socks up Purple.

It is low effort content, but there's a very simple part of my brain that releases dopamine's when I listen to or read MFC related news, regardless of quality! 🤪

Too early to tell; ask again in August

In 1972, Chinese premier Zhou Enlai was asked about the impact of the French Revolution. “Too early to say,”


But our forward line could be a major problem again this year.  McDonald has been poor since the middle of 2021.  Brown appears at the end and ANB and Spargo can't score.

Great article. As is another (by the same journo) linked with that one titled, “Brothers in arms: will the Gawn and Grundy experiment work?” In particular, this…

😁🥰🤩

Definitely agree that in the second half of last year we played not to lose instead of daring to win. We need to get back to being ruthless.

Barrett was commentating and standing next to Cornes who was wearing a Dees scarf after the 2021 GF. Cornes put one over Barrett who angrly pulled it off and tossed it on the ground.

I wouldnt take much notice of him.

Thanks for sharing. 
 

I’m surprised fitness was summarily dismissed by Richardson. For me, we just couldn’t physical run out games in the later half of the season including the finals.

as he says, kpis measured against other clubs don't support that

this sort of article is great for the non-demonland user or non-mfc fan as it says a lot of the things being said on here last year throughout the season

Interesting that Richardson said that van Rooyen was unlikely to debut in the round 1.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
