Can we get our forwards on the Jesse Hogan gym program? He is a unit

The Genetics program?
He was a beast at 17years old.

    One team's season ends while another starts. Better team won 

    In the end it could have gone either way.

    We lost against a top-four team because of some crucial errors, not because any of the umpires cheated.

    That's tough to take but hardly a reason for some of the venom being aimed at the players.

    Some author will write a best seller on how to destroy a Premiership window based on the Melbourne Football Club.

    94% of teams don't win the flag every year. In any year there's roughly 4 teams with a good shot at winning it, with form, fitness, health, game plan, luck all factors. Winning a flag is definitionally a successful traversal of a premiership window.

    I wouldn't put the house on that book being a best seller.

    [censored] season 2024 is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Season on the line going into the last quarter and they dish that up. GWS kicked more goals (4) than we had touches after 5 minutes. Pathetic really. 

    With 8 minutes left, Green kicked it OOF about 60 from our goal. We wasted about a minute switching the ball and then lost it out of bounds in the same spot, but on the other side of the ground. The [censored] was that?

    And with 3 minutes left, we let them chip it around with ease. About a minute or minute and a half burnt. That extra time would have been handy at the end.

    I dunno, I’m proud of the effort, but it is frustrating to see us bottling another season.

    It didn’t even take a page for someone to say Laurie isn’t AFL standard , but I thought he showed a bit.

    That last centre bounce was an absolute balls up.  

    Max could have smacked it forward or at least just try to get it down. 

    Instead Greene just waltzed it out

    Back on the coaching with this one. Hogan is the premier full forward in the game and we have the premier fullback playing on Jake Riccardi until they made the move late in the last quarter.

    Horrid coaching

    Agree. McDonald unable to defend last 6 - 8 weeks, Lever showed the same and May has regressed this year, overweight IMO.

    Petracca's absence was felt hard tonight. We really lack any sort of dynamism through the midfield and it shows.

    There’s been more than 1 bad game, last 6 weeks he has been unable to defend, yeah he’s had a few kicks. Not the answer moving forward and time to go past him IMO. 

    Ok.

    Can May ever regain any agility or is he done?

    If the former he should sit out the season and get right. having a guy that can’t bend over at all is killing us

     May hasn't been able to collect a ground ball ... Ever.

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    They're not alone there though.

    I'm really frustrated with Fritsch, he is a class player but his defensive efforts are deplorable. Late in the game "chasing" an opponent across half back his heart rate wouldn't have gone above 80bpm.

    16k is club killing stuff

    Umpires genuinely cost us the game, no ifs or buts about it.

    I have not been as furious with the umpiring in I honestly don't know how long. 

    I was apoplectic

    Simply appalling. I'm still seething.

    The blatant inconsistency is just mind numbing.

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    I’d think that if we had a 6x AA ruck playing against a ruckman with 1 arm; Oliver should have been trying to make space so we could win a game defining clearance.

    Should have been 6 goals up at quarter time. 

    Should never have conceded four goals in 5 minutes to start the last. 

    Billings and Bowey atrocious, Gawn not fit, not sure May’s fit, and TMac had an all time stinker.

    Some dodgy 50/50 umpiring against us (it was obviously a push to May and Green sucked them in by dropping his knees) but we are far too inefficient and it keeps killing us.

    I love Maxy but his center bounce tapwork was horrible all night.

    Through circumstances beyond anyone's control we just have too many key players out or underdone, and it's going to have an impact. Gutsy performance all the same against one of the best sides in the comp.

    It was woeful.

    Clarry was behind Greene on the defensive side (inexplicably) and maxy hit into open space on the offensive side allowing Greene to run onto the ball unimpeded.

    Oliver last quarter: 3 touches and 1 tackle.

    Will we ever see the best of him again?

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
