Credit to West Coast, they were very good and far superior to us. 
Unfortunately I don’t think we have the list to play this new game plan we are trying to execute, and when you combine that with a midfield that has not fired a shot all year, something has to really change for us to contend.

Spot on, except I'd say it's 3 years we've had to work on an oppo key forward to get them to us, for nadda.

We've played Petty forward when he's a far better back, paid $600k to watch Grundy play VFL, and now are playing BBB and Turner forward simply because there's no one else.

I'd say our window is well and truly shut. One flag during lockdown from the best list we've had in 60 years. So disappointing 

Window gone, sounds ruthless as our only living premiership coach but why the rush to extend last year?? Haven’t won a final in since 21 flag, can’t help u juries to BB & Tmac but their plan B and recruiting of fwds has been abysmal & start me on the Grundy bs

When opening this thread was wondering how many posts before “danger game” was thrown up, didn’t get past the first post. Seriously we should destroy the Eagles. Mainly interested to see McAdam play, honestly didn’t know who he was being we picked him up. If he can bring some magic to our fwd line it will obviously make us more dangerous with both him and Kosi down there. Also when Kosi has stints on the ball we will still have some serious X factor in our fwd 50. 
If we are going to try anything today let’s try getting separation with our fwds and back them in one on one.

We're simply not that good

Yep.

We are not.

Last few games have been putrid.

Except for cats who have we beaten. Port?

And now this.

And who do we have at Casey?

I have not watched or listened but watched the scores as they changed 

 

I take it there are learnings to be had.

sugar coating a turred does not amount to much

Goodwin has absolutely munted this list.

Unless Gawn, Petracca & Oliver dominate every week we generally  lose. They have no quality support around them. We have no midfield depth for regular rotation or to mix it up. The same predictable [censored].

Forward of centre we've been terrible since mid 2022. Goodwin has done nothing but flood our list with mediocre forwards (at the expense of our midfield) - not addressed the actual problem.

We play slow because we are slow.

If he comes out and says we didn't get the game on our terms I'll spew.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
