Perilously close to a 186 point loss. A couple of misses just now will put the kybosh on that

Enjoy while it lasts. Would you put money on them not winning a flag by 2029?

Its the Eagles . They' ll get loads of love from Dillon . Its how the corporate world works. Their supporters  will still turn up because they know.  Will Stkilda win a flag before them?

i would put my house on them not winning a flag by 2029. 

this isn’t just a tanking year. they have done major damage to their list. name their good players under 27yo

theyll get some good kids but all the senior guys leaving in the next couple years will hurt. they haven’t hit bottom yet

This has been coming for West Coast. I've been surprised their fanbase haven't mutinied already but surely today is the final straw. Simpson out for starters but the whole club is rotten, top to bottom. May they languish for the next decade.

Their list manager appointments have been atrocious:
2010 - Craig Vozzo
2014 - Adrian Battiston
2016 - Brady Rawlings
2019 - Darren Glass
2021 - Rohan O'Brien

In the last 10 years, 5 appointments. We have had 1 in that time

Oscar Allen, Reuben Ginbey, Elijah Hewitt off the top of my head.

Though we have a strong percentage, most of our ladder position rivals still have games against WC. Cant take it for granted it gives us an edge over close rivals and we need to keep winning.

yep. very light on. Kelly probably under 27 still

What's the significance of 186? The biggest losing margin is still 190 point when we lost to Fitzroy at Waverley in 1979. 

Regarding Jayden Hunt, did any other clubs make him an offer?

One of the great things about a 23 game season is that we get to see WC get belted another 9 times.

Still don’t understand why we got rid of Hunt. I feel so sorry for him having to live through this garbage. 

feel for him too. 

but we got rid of him as he couldn’t perform consistently or reliably.

I would venture to say there has never been a lower % after 14 rounds ever

St Kilda had a % of 39.1……….in the 1900 season 🤣

I guess so. Let's just hope one team, one day, can wipe away both records in one foul swoop

Would love it to be us over Geelong.

I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
