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.

    And they belatedly appointed a fitness guy (very late in December last year) who had minimal experience and has been in charge of at least 15 soft tissue injuries this year

    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

    most teams would have a couple of guns and a dozen good players under 27

    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.

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

    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.

    It's a disgrace

    Hi dice. As opposed to VFL/AFL combined?

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

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

    I blame the Dees Team Manager for that record loss.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
