Bigfooty:

Not much to report so far. 

Understandably they are preoccupied with their injuries and replacements.  There appears to be some new injury outs that haven’t been reported in the media yet.   They are expecting at least 5 and maybe 7 injured players from last week to be 'forced' changes.

I detect resignation more than doom.   There was still room for a bit of humour by a few posters.

  • Well, everyone who wanted the over 30s out in lieu of playing the kids got their wish...
  • If culley doesn’t get a game I’ll spew
  • Lets do a Sam Mitchell Cleansing now get ready for Mid Season draft and then End of Season/Draft & Trade.
  • We aren’t beating Melbourne.
  • Melbourne will easily be the shortest price favorites for the round.
  • What was the injury to SPS? Been real good in the two games he’s played…
    • …s**t haircut
  • I have a morbid excitement to watch this weekend with the forced youth policy.
  • The emotional part of me says I've well and truly had a gutful of these highly remunerated but often absent 'credits' boys and can the lot of them.
  • The more rational part says if we chuck out ALL the oldies then we're asking for the pain that Hawks/Norf are currently going through and in the past Melbourne/Carlton have experienced.
  • What concerns me about this week is that with no rotations in the 4th quarter last week you can bet that those that were left were being pushed in the "red zone" as the sport scientists call it. In other words being more vulnerable to injury..
  • someone ******* throw this medical department out, enough is enough.
  • Fritsch is the one I see causing us big problems. I don't see a good match up for him.

My favourite:

  • Oh dear, playing Melbourne ...
  • Waterman would be great in a good team

I'll check in again later in the week after selections.

Agreed.  Geelong, Eagles and Blues have been the guilty ones to openly gloat in recent times.

We are slowly getting our own back...

... I thought we lost by 186 to Geelong?

Either 187 or 188, I would love someone else to have the largest losing margin record - couldn't think of a better team than the Eagles.:cool:

We owe Hawthorn, West Coast and Essendon the most I reckon.

In the past we have performed poorly in games like this. The other team has nothing to lose and we have often coasted.

I would like to see a ruthlessness that becomes the norm for us.

Can't recall us actually deestroying an understrength team in recent times. This is the week to do it and it'd be satisfying after 2018

But seriously, GC Suns by 98 points, round 20 2021.

Here are some things these delightful people said on reddit a couple of days ago:

  • Melbourne were dog[censored] in 2019 after we demolished them in the 2018 prelim
     
  • God what a [censored] day that was, was almost as good as winning the grand final. I just remember all the media saying Melbourne were the favourites, they were so desperate for it to be melbournes year and for us, the team predicted to not even make finals, to absolutely blow them out of the water was just chefs kiss
     
  • It was also made more delicious by them wanting to be able to beam in video of Melbourne supporters to negate our home crowd advantage. In retrospect I kind of wish they went ahead with it

That was a precession! We could have won by 150 but kicked really inaccurately (18.20 to 4.6). We kicked 1.6 in the final quarter.

Would it be OK to ask for a 191 point winning margin? It's embarrassing to have to point out that 186 is not our greatest losing margin ever. That (dis)honour belongs to the Melbourne team beaten by Fitzroy by 190 points in 1979. Final scores were Melbourne 6.12 48 to Fitzroy 36.22 238.

We lost to Fitzroy in rd 17 1979 by 190 points. I will never forget the trip home from Waverly. Devastating.

    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

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
