Why we let Jordan go is beyond me 

You know very well that he chose to leave as a free agent.  We had no say in it.

Why you persist in peddling this "let him go" furphy is perplexing.

    He left because of chances so in effect we let him go

    I can’t see Yze surviving the next 2 years regardless of how good a coach he is. They haven’t hit bottom yet but it’s coming

    The expression "poison chalice" springs to mind.

    Can we rebrand the leftover merchandise from Ninthmond to Northmond?

    We wanted him to stay.  That's not letting him go.

    When a player is not getting a go regularly and has limited opportunity they all go to greener pastures and that was the case full stop no matter how you want to spin it.

    I'm looking at the Norf score and, regardless of the myriad of issues, they should not be this bad. There's a couple of players who do not give a stuff and in just about any other team would be dropped for lack of effort. Zurhaar plays like a bloke marking time until recruited by a big club. He's not alone. Pathetic.

    Gosh these 2 games are soooo 1 sided.

    Wonder how dimma is enjoying Darwin. Usually likes to complain about travelling. 

    These older Geelong players are going to tire easily in the Darwin weather next week

    Anyone bored with these games, checkout the southern lights. 

    Yep and the nrl didn't help me either. The storm got beaten. 

    I'm just watching the Darwin game wishing I could get some of their 29 degree weather

    North, Richmond and Suns are Essendon’s next three games.

    They’ll be top 2 soon. 

    We beat St Kilda, West Coast and North in rounds 8,9 and 10 in 2022 and then fell in a hole we haven’t yet quite fully extracted ourselves. Let’s hope same happens to them. .

    Losing Harmes, JJ and Gus in one season. They are 3 premiership players. And you wonder why our midfield has fallen off the face of this earth. 
     

    Yea a little dramatic… but point to be made. 

    Exactly this!!!

    Richmond have 4 flags to hang their hat on, but what in the sweet Jesus is happening at Norf? 
    I never thought I’d see someone be worse than us under Neeld, but I think they have us covered 😧

    Sydney will come back to the pack. Happens every year. They haven’t had too many hard games just yet. 

    Did you mean Essendon? Because Sydney is far and away the competition's number 1 seed right now, mainly because they have the league's best record against good sides.

    They've beaten the sides currently sitting 3rd, 4th, 5th and 8th, plus 9th and 10th.

    No other top 8 side has that many wins against fellow contenders, nor are any of them undefeated against fellow contenders.

    It's bizarre that Richmond beat the Swans.

    Gold coast play Geelong in Darwin next week and they're without Cameron and Hawkins.

    A loss there could see the cats fall as far as 7th at the end of next week.

    It is and it’s also a good reminder that these bottom clubs will win matches this year. Just got to make sure we don’t slip up against them.

    Feel a bit sorry for Yze but not for Richmond.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • 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.
