But seriously is there a line? How long is it?

Mousey - this could be the answer to our woes - find 22 willing young ladies and in 20 years time we can have 22 Jonesy out on the G battling to bring home the flag - would the father son rule cover that?

Sorry, pathetic, I know but getting no joy reading the scores or match reports so inventing my own fun

    Look guys and gals we are just going to have to give them time. Time for the young kids to get games under their belt and time for the Coach to develop the ones with potential and weed out the ones that are gone. I know we have all been waiting ages for it to be our time but its not , theres going to be a lot more loses to come. So lets suck it up and hope Bails knows what he is doing.

    well the draft looks good for this year!!!!!

    By the way, there are 119 people viewing the thread at the moment. It could be more than are actually at the game.

    Nah it's not.....I watched the first half. had to leave early because on my way out, but there was a heap of people down there today!

    IMO......decision making was shocking......too many times we held onto the ball for too long.

    A lot of players simply not in good touch, and the team isn't gelling yet.

    North looked far more advanced, and much slicker using the ball......Wells was red hot through the middle.

    I am not too fussed - still only practice matches so I won't hit the panic button just yet.

    What is with Robbo getting reported again????? What happened and what's the charge?

    sick and tierd of hearing for years "There's good signs".

    we need skill, thats what we dont have!

    its fair to say we are in huge huge trouble this year. This consistent pattern of falling away after quarter time is very concerning. Practice game or not, its unacceptable.

    Baileys reaction to the loss last week shows he was expecting a lot more, so this is not part of his "master plan".

    The problem is, Bails has been saying the exact opposite. "We are not rebuilding". 'Rebuilding gives players an excuse for losing".

    I wonder how the players and the club plan to attract members with the hidings we've been gettig in the past few week. I know its early, every one says this, but for crying out loud, in the famous words of John Kennedy "DO SOMETHING!!!!!!"

    Im also worried about the off field repercussions of the season we are about to have....

    It is clear that more players should have gone at the end of last year, we are just dragging out the rebuilding process now.

  • Quote

    any idea what Robbo was reported for ?? ..the maggots already love him this year !! sheeesh !!

  • Quote
    Jeez, they've come into $3.80 on Sportsbet. At $5, I was about to have a nibble myself.

    I doubt that 5/1 is correct. Id like to see a link pls.

    Theres only so many u can clear out in one hit . Look this year may be a tough one but I see a lot of promise in that we have Chris Connolly doing a lot of wotk behind the scences to get us up and with a new CEO with the selling of the club to the co operates is what will happen. Oh and I havent even mention the new traing facilities. So chin up lads we'll get there.

    Yeah, there's a lot of development left in the likes of Neitz, Yze, McDonald, White, Holland and Robertson. Others such as Whelan, Wheatley, Green, Bruce, Carroll, Miller and Bell have gone beyond the development stage.

    If the club isn't being upfront with it's supporters, there'll be a massive drop-off in memberships.

    Final Score

    Melbourne 14.10.94

    Kangaroos 24.14.146

    Robbo kicked 4. Newton 2 (early on).

    Report to follow. Scoop Junior, Redleg and Whispering Jack will fight it out and the loser will be writing the report.

    I'll be interested to know whether the backline is as truly bumbling and feckless as a score of 24.14 would seem to indicate.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
