Bowey very good, Rivers worked his way back into it after some howlers, had looked off the pace for the first 2 games, May will be better for the run, great to have Melksham back - if only the ball could get to his part of the ground more often - Langford has cemented his place for the rest of the season, and we have Pickett and Lever back next week.

 

I might have dreamt it, but didn't we used to be good? Once upon a time?

Thanks Simon, the game is up. Please start clearing out your office tonight. This garbage has been slowly building for 2-3 years

You have no concept of attacking football. You don’t train players to attack

You train to stop the opposition, and now that has stopped

We need new Coaches NOW, not next year

 

This season reminds me of 2007 when we went into the doldrums for over a decade. I now dread our encounter against WC on May 3rd. Glad I pre booked two overseas trips over the course of the season. I won’t be buying into the WatchAFL app when away.

Any chance we can win a clearance, hold a tackle or even get on the same page a teammate? Simply gut wenching to watch!

We need answers by the coach and president. This is substandard.

We’ve already had them.. We are beyond that

I know Goodwin will say we believe in our plan and program, that it was unacceptable today, that we know what we need to do etc... But we need more from him today. We, the members and supporters need an explanation from coach and President.

[censored] me ! We have officially returned to the bad old days.

It's just round 3 and you can start planning your September holidays.

Abswruckinlukely.

Falling headfirst into the abyss and lead by players who should know and play so much bloody better.

Total disgrace.

Goodbye Goody.

I defended you last week but I am totally unaware as to why.

So many senior players too busy counting their money and not caring about the club.

If only they were paid when they actually gave a toss.

Last week someone mentioned and complained some of the players were booed off.

Well another non effort like today and I for one would be leading the chorus.

It's official.

We stink.

Lindsay (a rare shining light) injured, and humiliated by a mid-tier team on our home deck in our ‘response’ game.

We’re an unskilled, uninspired rabble playing boring, lifeless footy.

Anyone have any positives to share ??

Yes, I held back my Demon membership this year because Badloss was still there - I really have had enough of him as coach, fooling around with the players' careers and not stepping up to meet the challenges ahead. Footy has changed and this change needs appreciation, and be positively addressed.

I was going to take the eldest to his first ever game at Metricon mid year but don’t think I want to subject him to this. Not a good way to keep the kids interested

things are dire. Things could go even further downhill very quickly

We were spoilt with our 10-0 starts - shocking demise

Bummers rubbing their hands together. Enjoy your top 5 pick.

Don’t forget we got Lindsay last year in trade for F1 this year. Yes it sounds bad if we do badly this year but this is a highly compromised draft with lots of academy and FS picks early and a much shallower pool for everyone else. It’s not like we gave it up for nothing. Lindsay looks great and let’s back him in.

Oliver 31 possesions 3rd highest in the game, don't blame him, still trying his guts out at the end! Anyone wanting him out, take a long hard look!


I remember clear as day the final round of 2021 when we were 40 odd points down. As soon as Geelong started chipping it around I knew we’d win it. Now apparently chipping it around the back half is the game plan of choice… Confusing.

Why would Trac even want to stay?

Majority of the team phoning in a performance in front of a ~20k crowd when he could be on the big stage.

Who could blame him.

Clearly gone at the end of the year. Hopefully he invests enough to give the club market value.

Bunch of mature players need to be left alone with their thoughts for the week to decide if they're serious or not and to remember who they are.

Far, far below the skill and energy they are well known to be capable of.

I'd be interested to know, in the wild politics of late last season, who got what they wanted which has now created this level of confusion and ambivalence on the field?


Hard to say, as wasn’t at the game (Queensland based), but Trac’s body language looked off all day, and seemed more so as the day went on?

Worried for next weekend … if we serve up similar to today, the Cats are a fair chance to break their 186 point winning margin.

Edited by Deemolition2021

The cats just love playing weak dispirited and fractured sides down there. They will be merciless. 186 is in play.

Can he be tanking to bring down his trade value as the Pies dont have anything to really offer us?

  • GAMEDAY: Port Adelaide

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are on the road for the next month and will be desperate to claim a crucial win to keep their finals hopes alive against Port Adelaide.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
