Hope I'm not treading on anyone toes by starting this thread, but I waited until late Thursday and couldn't resist any longer

Here's what the "Orrible Awks" Supporters are saying:

Mostly sobering boring observations, but a couple of gems.

=Really feel frosty needs to go. I reckon four goals in the first quarter and a half came directly from mistakes//turnovers/frees by frost.
I love his passion, but we are a team that severely lacks polish at the moment. We need Blank back there.

=Stuff it, I reckon we are a chance

=This will most likely get ugly, like PTSD ugly.
I’m not sure having heaps of young kids exposed to a full strength Demons team up and about is great for their development.
Pick the most experienced 22 we can muster, let them cop what comes and move on to round 10.

=Likely to be a tough game. We might as well learn something.

=If we concede just 90 fewer points from turnovers, we are right in this.

=Just saw the stat that Melbourne is the best final quarter team, while we are the worst second half team.
I hate to say it but marry that up and the second half next week could be torrid

=magine if we beat Melbourne

=This could be 100+ points if Melbourne are in a ruthless mood.

=Kosi has generally been unsighted early and popping up for a couple of late goals. He’s had one game I’d call good, but nothing that makes me think he should be in front of Rama as a key forward right now

=Please don't bring facts into this. It annoys the masses.
It's a bit like the family guy quote with Morrison, frost, and a few others. "We had 7 complaints, and as we all know, 1 complaint equals 1 billion people, so therefore, we had 7 billion complaints"

=Van Rooyen surely misses. Kid is a jet.

    If I had a $1 everytime Frosty was mentioned in this manner on a Demonland forum.

    I will always have a soft spot for him.

    I think they're referring to Hawthorn forward, Jacob Koschitzke, not our esteemed. Mr Pickett.

    Round 20, 2016, is what I wanted to post to my 2014 myself, Gawn and Viney were sensational. That was the end of the Hawks 9 game winning streak, icing was of course 2018 final, lets not talk about 2017.

    I'll remain grateful to Frosty. When we were complete tripe he gave his all and provided most of the limited entertainment we had in those dark times.

    Hearing this from a Hawks supporter is (chef’s kiss). Wasn’t that long ago that we’d be saying “Imagine if we beat Hawthorn”

    I must be the only one who doesn't hold a soft spot for Frostball or the player. But I do remember a number of posts whinging that our FD had got it wrong when we jettisoned him.

    Looking forward to a few stupid turnovers from old mate.

    When I think Frosty (not Miller) I think of him being confused and letting Schoemakers kick the first goal only to launch a 65-metre torpedo minutes later from the kick-in to set up our first goal in the 2018 semi final against the Hawks.

    You can't play a solid defensive system with that sort of incompetence and unpredictability.

    Frosty was a liability no doubt, but loved the way he flew the flag for team mates.

    I used to go fishing in the pond there. When it was drained there were two bodyless cars, various other flotsam and jetsom AND some polar bear fossils. No wonder I got snagged. Yep COLD and SOULESS

    • 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.

      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?
