Of the new players put in today and last week i think it is fair to say that Garland, Weetra and Buckley are just not up to it...good/average players at Sandy but just dont have the skill and decision making ability to be consistent and good AFL players....

as for Morton...he did some nice things today...looks like he could be a future player with a bit more muscle and a few years in the sytem...

season is over after Round 2....

btw...

Robbo is overweight and selfish

Sylvia is f'n useless...

brock is slow....

neita is hurting....

miller...delist....

Carroll...had a good game....

bell...needs to wake up...

jones...all heart!

junior...all hear...

davey...needs to wake up..

 

Morton is special

A joy to watch

Buckley has no idea what to do with the footy once he gets it, and it happens every time

The fact that Carroll was today was BOG for us by a mile says alot about our team. Our list is comically bad.

 

The thing about Carroll is that with all the goals being kicked against us, he's getting a lot of practice. That's got to be a good thing, right? Right?

Probably the only joy we will get all season and one of the reasons we should turn up to watch this pathetic rabble. He will be a genuine superstar I reckon with some of the poise he has shown today under pressure with zero help from his mates. Thank you Cale!

Don't worry, he'll go the same way most of our 'potential stars' have gone... down the toilet.

How good was his kick to Green (was it Green on the lead??). It was like he wasn't even playing for Melbourne the way he hit a target.

Definite shinning light so far.

Arise, Sir Cale!

Yeah must admit I enjoyed watching him today, but he really does need to bulk up before someone breaks him in half!

Garland on the other hand.. what the hell :wacko: . Could not have looked more disinterested if asked to. No aggression. No second attempts. Could not even take the most simple of marks. I know he's just starting out, but so is Morton and look at him, playing with a bit of spark and enthusiasm.

Time to unleash Warnock ! Gee what depth!

Garland is hopeless, so many fumbles.

Didn't notice Weetra at all, did he even get a touch?

This kid is the one shining light of the past 2 weeks.

Poise, skill & a geniune will to get the ball.

Will get better & better as 08 painfully unfolds

Robbie Flower just may have been reborn.

Agreed. My brother and I commented that watching Morton was the only shining light. He had class and poise that more seasoned players lacked.

At any other club I'm sure he'd be a star. But he plays for Melbourne.

Time to unleash Warnock ! Gee what depth!

He was actually there today signing autographs at a table, and looks remarkably like Miller. :unsure:

At least Sylvia chased all day. Unlike his senior counterparts who are supposed to be setting an example.

Ya sure he wasnt signing a clearance form. Dead set if ya can`t get a game at the moment in this team , it`s time to head for the suburbs!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    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.
