Should get our coach has to punch it....could call it a king hit ;p

There is no I in selfless I guess....

If he is a selfless player that prefers team success over personal accolades.....he would/should be open to it. It would be nice to have marking options on all parts of the ground.

Not sure on changes....if they turn up with like they did against Essendon, it does not really matter. Some thoughts on what went wrong , and why. Fritsch and Melksham in the same team, has it ever worked? Every time it happens we lack pressure in on our forward half. Balance out of whack, especially when you throw in Culley and Langford who also had no real impact. Who are our marking targets? Gawn, Petty, beyond that Essendon killed us is the air, and they did not kick it near Gawn, who had 1 mark. Thinking outside the box I would bring in Heath who is is in good form, and let Max play as CHB....we need more marking power, all over the ground. Keep pretty forward, and alternate with Heath. Let's stop relying so much on Max, and see if there are other viable options. Have heard Max say he thought he could be a great backman...let's see. We just made the game so easy for Essendon. Nobody pressed up. We gave them easy 1st outlet, then another 10 chip around passes after that. We never pressed up at any stage, it was strange. It scares me that we looked utterly clueless, when they played a really simple game of keepings off. Surely we can't be that easy to dissect. They gave their all as a team vs GC, we barely turned up vs Essendon. We have stunk it up vs Carlton in 1st quarter, and got punished by a very good Freo 1st quarter. We need to turn up, like any team if we don’t, we will get punished. King is a good coach...just waiting until we have had enough of our inconsistencies and the players take charge. Like Geelong once did. We need to hold players accountable to much higher standards. They need to use their own brains. Evry loss I hear the same from players....it did not look or feel like a Melbourne game. Ffs just take what teams give you and find ways to win, sometimes it will be ugly, but we can't afford to give up games without firing a shot.

Do Geelong top this list every year lol?

We should do them another favour by not just winning, but putting them to the sword. 100+ points win would put huge pressure on Scott. Most Essendon supporters want him gone....let's be the gift that keeps giving. No chance they stick with us this week...we will run them off their feet. There will be no complacency, too many players vying for selection. Rip em a new one Demons!!

Really happy that Laurie is getting a game. He was solid in our preseason matches. Get behind the guy, he never really got a chance being supersub most games he played. He is a smart accumulator, clever and accurate with his disposal. He will thrive with a little confidence.

Which is an admission of guilt or wrong doing.....which this day and age means litigation incoming. Plenty redacted means we only are ever going to know the surface of it. The players and players wives/ partners did not need to be privy. Should have been handled by our coaching/admin. We made a massive blunder here, this story will get traction.

We will end up paying for this one. Why on earth would you invite players partners to such a meeting. Most of them would be friends with both May and his partner. We will get what we deserve.

The first rule of fight club is to never talk about the match day thread. Such a brilliant movie! Meaningful and meaningless in equal parts.

Why do some of our supporters just make stuff up? OMac was there, Oliver was there but hiding somewhere. If you don't in fact actually know...don't make up bs. Some of our most highly esteemed demonlanders have said these things. People take to the bank what some of you say, regurgitating it as fact. More facts, less fiction.

Yet you managed to give him a drive by on a post that had nothing to do with him.....so you are not beyond it....you actually doubled and tripled down on him. It sounds like you have seen him play for 5 mins as substitute in seniors and seen enough. Don't bother replying!

Deserves chance/s. Thought he added a bit in the preseason games. Honestly I think he is a better version of Spargo. A link up player we need around HF to transition out of midfield better. Also he seems far more AFL ready than Pickett....atm anyway!

Really? We fumbled due to pressure all the way through 1st quarter. We bombed relentlessly in the last quarter. I counted 10 at least with no purpose. Reminded me very much of Goodwin coached teams, long bomb to no one in particular. There were stuff all leads from forwards. Was a stark difference to way we played vs St Kilda, we lost most of our dare. I must have watched a different game, old habits were there to see all over the place. I hope King categorically tells them that this is not the way we want to play, and really encourages them to take the game on, especially when it gets tough. 4 or 5 years of bombing it long is going to be one of hardest habits to kick, quite simply.
