Umpires are [censored] atrocious 

It’s so bad it’s laughable… thankfully it’s match simulation

    Mark to Turner surely

    Loving the ferocity with which our key forwards aer attacking the ball aerially. If we keep it up all season, we can be a feared attacking club again

    How are all the newest Dees we got over the offseason going? 

    • langford - everywhere, get on him for the rising star; will be the best 1st year player we've had since oliver
    • linsday - smooth, almost goes unnoticed
    • sharp - busy and quick, runs to the right spot, impacts defensively
    • campbell - looks like an afl-ready ruckman, looks surprising that he's not played more senior footy

    I’ve been happy with all of them.

    Campbell- holding his own against Xerri and is fantastic back up to Max

    Sharp- has done some nice things and kicked a goal. Has been clean with ball in hand.

    Langford- smooth mover and knows how to find it

    Lindsay- similar to Langford without the marking prowess but a bit quicker 

    Johnson hasn’t played yet I don’t think

    Now they are doing some strange scenario training…. So anyone trying to worry about scores today should chill

    Thanks mate. Sounds promising 👌

    I usually avoid match day threads (for reasons which don't need much imgaination to guess), but I'm following this one out of footy deprivation. 

    Are these established AFL umpires, or some newbies?

    I am expect to be shouted down for this but I feel like Billings has actually looked pretty good…

    Awful turnover early in the game but pretty good outside that

    Umps let play for a minute after the 3 minutes ended?

    Thanks pal. I like the sounds of that comment best player drafted since Oliver. And sounds like we may picked up some shrewd picks in Sharp and Campbell. Albeit small sample, but consistent with training reports over the summer.

    I felt like he was finding his feet a bit towards end of '24. Hopefully translate to a better and consistent season in '25.

    No sign of Brown dog

    He along with Johnson and Verrell were wearing the training tee-shirts in the pre game warmup which suggests he’ll either be playing in the second half or not at all.

    Anybody willing to give this ageing queen a rundown on how Oliver is going? I’m really wanting him to stick it far up some people this year

    Very nicely.  Old Clay is back…

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
