Koltyn had to be better then. Costs us a potential goal which results in them transition forward for a goal right on the siren.

He's just a kid Daz. Still trying to get the tempo of the game. That last goal was down to missed tackles from experienced players at that last stoppage.

Very optimistic of you. Do you have time to co-host a Demonland podcast?

One tackle and that doesn't happen

Yes but shouldn't have had to.  Kolt needs to learn to kick off a few steps and not lollypops either

Agreed. I can’t be mad at Kolt when I’m watching Salem, Viney, Oliver and Sparrow let their opponents run unmarked for half a game. 
Can’t stick a tackle. Can’t win a clearance. Can’t hit a target. Hence can’t win. 

I love the Kolt, and yes he's only played a handful of games, but hes regularly slow to react and doesn't read his surroundings well. He had eons to get rid of that ball going forward, it was almost as if he waited to be tackled. He'll get better with more games for sure, but boy, he'd want to get that slow reaction out of his game

How disappointing. Kolt should have made a better go at that, how aren’t we communicating with each other?? Then it goes the other end to an unmarked Walter’s, again. For a goal. Instead of being maybe 3 goals down, we’re back to 5 mainly because they’re not kicking straight.

Maybe I’m delusional but we can come out and be aggressive. Mids need to work very hard. May being our top ball getter tells the story. 

let’s just come out and fight, throw everything at these guys we have nothing to lose. 


2nd half of that wtf we actually got some control back.  Less free players around the ground that killed is up to that point.  Also a pretty small ground, about 1/2 full.

 

some of the umpiring has been second rate.  
 

that last goal really hurt after getting the game back even.  But wd looked better in the middle. Maybe Darcy tiring with his first game back.  Up to them he’d been ministering us.  
 

half to go. 

Looks like freo will have to wait a bit longer to see the best of us.

Really hope he can find a way into it in the second half. We need him badly!

King wants to see a 15-20 goal win for the dockers. That’s what he thinks of us. 

I hope the spray Goody delivers to these players at half time peels the paint off the walls.

I can deal with mistakes and wrong decisions but lack of effort is not acceptable. we've been chasing shadows most of that half. We should not be out worked to this extent by any team.

May has been great.

Not having an experienced backup ruck is killing us. Hopefully the boys were just saving themselves for the second half.

I think Verrall is going to be a player, but it's going to take some time. Fullarton should have been in the team today, absolutely no excuses.

Our lack of defensive accountability at stoppage from our mids considering the ruck set up is disgusting. 

Our lack of work rate through the midfield is disgusting. 

The lack of leadership from senior players (May aside) is disgusting. 

Discipline and effort requires no talent.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
