Even our own players are giving us a clip..

He still attends games but he's nearly unrecognisable now days. Has lost a ton of weight and doesn't do the Mohawk anymore.

I always thought Adam Hunter from West Coast was one of the best versatile players I've seen in terms of being able to be a great lockdown defender, but then could swing forward and kick 3 or 4 goals in a game when needed. I reckon Petty has the potential to emulate this as his strengths is his reading of the play and strong contested marking. He showed some really positive glimpse back in 2019, but I also think he's needed more down back then he is forward.

Another good performance yesterday in their 37 point win against the Calder Cannons 19 disposals 6 tackles 4 inside 50's and kicked a point.

Wonder whether they'll give BB one last shot with the bye coming up to give the coaching staff a better time to assess some options moving into the 2nd half of the year.

Interesting comments by Goody.. maybe it's not as simple as Brown out for Weideman? Seems like Weideman has been given things to work. These comments were especially after seeing his VFL performance. I highlighted some key points that stood out the most for me. https://www.afl.com.au/news/774791/-he-ll-be-sorely-missed-foot-injury-fears-for-big-demon Ben Brown struggled through his third-straight match goalless but Goodwin is backing the premiership hero to return to his best. In a bold move, Melbourne preferred to recall veteran utility Mitch Brown over promising tall forward Sam Weideman when McDonald was ruled out. "I don't think anyone's guaranteed a run in the AFL, everyone earns their position," Goodwin said. "There's no doubt it's competitive with our key forwards for spots. "Ben's not at his best at the moment but he's a very good player. Our challenge as a coaching group is to get him back into form. "(Weideman's) got to keep working hard on his game, continually be working on playing a big man's type of footy. "He'll have a good look at opportunities throughout the year but at the moment Mitch Brown is just playing better."

Don't apologise. All those points you shared were fair and reasonable. In fact I think there has actually been some reasonable comments on here. No one has gotten personal towards the demon army nor bad mouthed them in general. I attended the North game and while it was a horrible crowd in terms of numbers their own supporters were way louder then us. They were certainly loud towards some of the questionable decisions going against them but it actually turned the atmosphere from dour to entertaining. I was gobsmacked because here I am all these years taking the absolute [censored] out of their supporters for not attending games but yet turns we're just as worse.

My first thought also when I heard this..

Yes correct, which if selection was up to me then its Hunt that has to be dropped for Hibberd.

Hibberd is listed as 186cm tall. Both Hunt and Brayshaw are actually taller then Hibberd.

But this is what I said a few weeks. The umpiring has really turned people off from the game. AFL has turned this into a [censored] show. I think the covid excuse has worn off now. So unless the AFL does something to change the umpiring of the game then unfortunately it's only going to get worse.

We kicked 2.6 in the 2nd half after kicking 7.1 in the first half...

Great. He was close to BOG last week when I watched him play.

I'm still trying work out what on earth was he thinking there.. It just summed up our night as a while.

If this [censored] gets your gripe then sound advice would be to shut your account down and don't bother writing on here. Because there is currently for worse comments written on here and the changes thread compared to what I just wrote. I'll tell you was worse on and it was your Demon Army for barely making any noise once again tonight.

Petracca only let him know because he wanted the handball for the goal. Petracca having a shot from 60m out was just as worse as Spargo's. Even Nathan Jones was quiet surprised he was having a ping when he should have just centred the footy.

Why play Hunt on a wing when we have 2 genuine wingers who are doing a really good job in their position. Forget moving him around. Just simply drop him.

Not surprised one bit with the turn out of the crowd. Raised this when I made mention of this when we had a pathetic 13k turn up only few weeks back and got smashed on here. We've won a drought breaking flag, record memberships and yet we still have [censored] poor crowd numbers.

Cool timing with the mid season draft just gone...

Try telling some of the nuffys on here who were stating this only a few weeks back.

I said last week that Sparrow had a poor game and wouldn't get dropped but tonight he was as bad as I've see him play. I'd drop him personally. Dropping Ben Brown is the easy option but there is no way bringing in Sam Weideman improves us at all. If anything it makes us worse because he's he's not an AFL standard player time and time again. I have no idea what the changes will like, but I can easily reel off 5 names I would drop straight away.

Yeah look we aren't winning a flag this year. There is so many concerns on all lines and that's not even counting that our pressure is ranked 17th in the league. Forget the umpires, our style of play from start to finish was horrible to watch. Why we continue to just rush all night by playing on or having one too many handballs to a teammate to then put them under enormous pressure is bizarre. Backline has turned to [censored]. Steven May is now our most influential and important player. When he doesn't play the rest turn to water. That's an apology to Petty who battled manfully tonight. Jayden Hunt has over 100 games of experience and he is still one of the dumbest footballers going around. Not forgetting he touched the ball 3 times tonight as a [censored] half back flank. Jake Lever is horribly out of form and it's costing us. When we need some form of leadership while May is out Lever has failed to stand up 2 weeks in a row. Simply not good enough. Our midfield is seriously all over the shop. Rushed handballs and dump kicks into either no one in particular or straight to the opposition. Petracca, Viney and Sparrow are huge butchers of the footy. Our efficiency going inside 50 is just horrific and these guys are main culprits alongside a few others like ANB who's not much chop either going forward. Really think our midfield needs a huge shake up and I'd be getting Brayshaw in there personally just to add something different. Don't get me started on the forward line.. I think this is a significant concern moving forward and beyond as the likes of Tom McDonald, Ben Brown and Mitch Brown are all 30 years of age or over, plus a former first rounder who is only a VFL standard player. Our only hope is an 18 year old kid who is still unknown. All of these guys are either badly out of form or injured and I can't see this forward structure holding up this year. Besides Pickett, our smalls are barely impacting the scoreboard. Spargo has only kicked 4 this year and ANB just the 2 goals. It's just simply not good enough. All in all a very disappointing display. Our current game style won't hold up and we could easily be out of top 4 very soon if there isn't significant changes to it.

That's game done folks.

What earth is happening? Lever had a complete brain fade and just handballs it back Into a contest after playing on when he didn't need too.
