We look so far off it 

 

Big dopey forwards that love to take pack marks sure do find their way to every single team except Melbourne. And always seem to tear us up.

    Much like against Carlton I feel like we are letting a team that isn't really playing that well to take advantage of their moments. We're very lucky the Eagles aren't 7.0.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    If he wasn't ready for AFL level intensity, then don't play him.

    Cupboard was bare dude. Back your players. Rubbishing a first gamer is poor form.

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.


    Someone give a Clarry a rocket. Or a hug. Whatever works. Just get him to wake up please. We’re getting killed.

    It's nothing against him, this is on the selection. I was also not that sure we had to rush Salem so we'll see.

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    We are allowing them the moments to shine

    Perhaps the umpires should see how he is manhandled!

    Low energy and premiership window rattling.

    Gee this Waterman kid would be nice to have 

    Is Fraser Gherig his dad?


    Pathetic attitude not turning up ready to go from the opening bounce.

    We are on the back foot right from the start of most games. How about a little bit of proactivity?

    It’s a long game, and I’m very patient, but this quarter was simply not good enough. To be smashed in the contest against a bottom 4 team is unacceptable. 

    I understand we are trying to change the way we play, by being more attacking off half back, but we seem to have completely lost our strength in contest and clearance. 
    May without Lever is also a concern. Waterman all over him.

    To the ‘we will/must win this by 6-7 goals, minimum’ crew - is that still the projected margin?

    We’re being embarrassed here. Should be down by more. 

    Every single team thinks they can beat us, and there’s a reason for that. Here it is. We have our moments, no doubt, and our best can beat anybody, but we don’t do it often enough anymore, and there are far too many threatening teams on the up. Really sad actually.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
