He does seem more preoccupied with owning territory...than the ball. It's his shtick ;)

Well this weekend we celebrate the miracle that is the resurrection. An entity given up for dead somehow gets up and walks among us once more. That's all wonderful for that lot but essentially we're nought but a bunch of Devil worshippers so we've got sfa chance of that happening. I reckon even if JC was up at FF, between Judas , the Romans and our midfield he'd need another nod to upstairs or he really would starve to death. I regret to think even an "honourable" loss is several bridges too far this weekend. I'd just like to see the powers that be concede that nothing is going how they think it ought , and that's on them as much if not more than any and in that frame of mind mix it up. Just get back to some footy basics. Romans by a march.....

For display and discussion purposes only .. 🙄🙄🙄There's little to no respect out there. Not sure any deserved.

Kinda want to laugh... But that would be ill mannered... Perhaps I'll cry instead ...

It IS ugly

Not apples and apples. Neither AFLW nor AFL are National teamd .. they are National Competitions. Whilst AFLW has grown and indeed will still some.. it's thoroughly shaded by the main event. Always will be. Just is.

Was $4.00 or so a friend told me ... 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Be nothing more than a Dead Cat bounce imho

A very real reality (lol) is AFLW for all its good points etc just hasn't got the following, hence clout of mainstream footy. It's obviously fantastic for those playing and the opportunities it provides to aspiring participants. It will always be overshadowed by AFL.. Great that the lasses dis so well. Maybe Libby ought to focus on that and not the "we were hard done by" .. smacks of sour grapes tbh. Bigger fish to fry imo

Then maybe that is the move Petty fwd.. Roo back Either way both need to improve.

I don't know that that can be a given... I.e moving a fwd back. Not everyone is equiped skilwise or mentally to play all over the field. The way you approach fwd and back is VERY different. As a back it's your job to deny scoring opportunities. The buck stops with you. You are under the pump in a very different way to how you're potentially responsible for scoring as a fwd. Without being cavalier.. deep down fwds know they aren't expected to goal with every kick. It's almost a get out of jail free situation. Yes , many try. But if you want proof... look at their faces if they miss ( just saying ) If you either stuff up.or simply outplayed as a defender... then just like a Goalie... that's on you. Some players are much much better either one end of the ground than the other. Some can swing... ( could use more of these ... as resigning matchups during a game in.progress IS an effective way to stem tides etc ) Unless JVR actually has any experience as an effective backman be very careful before putting him there.

I reckon have then line up for 1st qtr.. leave exactly same for second... I.e .. don't swap ends 🤣 Spin repeat. Ought confuse the [censored] out of everyone. Might even learn something about suitabilities.... lol Yeah, silly idea.... because all the good ones are working so well. We have no master-strokes available. Will require good old fashioned 4qtr efforts and doing better with the ball... when we have it. I've watched better Magoos than we're currently offering up. Go Dees

Possibly. I'd counter is that the end of the world if some did ? Some will look to leave anyway . Melbourne is in a MESS. If we have to prune the Roses harshly then so be it. Football is far more fluid re people now. I really couldn't give a fig who wears our jumper, who coaches, who leads, who follows or cuts up the bloody oranges. I just want a highly competitive team . If players want greener pastures, better 'relationships' or Kumbayah Karaoke ...well good for them.

If you haven't already done so good Demon folk I implore you to take the opportunity to read Demonland's report on the weekend's game . Read it , read it twice and if you still think our mediocrity is not to be blamed on Coaching and Selection then so be it. Quite damning in my view Great report Demonland 👏

The bullet need not be silver

Never going to happen with Goody .

Loosely translated.... "Thanks for flying Demons, we'll try not to crash again next flight"

Tbh. That letter is somewhat embarrassing. Just trying to remember who helped orchestrate Bails' assassination?? Who was that again ..... My god we need to be so much better than this.

Just going to put it out there... Not thinking we're a destination club. This will shock some no doubt. In fact quite reverse as if even a qtr of the storied rumours have any substance then a handful are casting their gaze about. And to be honest who can really blame them. 15 or so players are Premiership players. That just screams to me how much we miss those other 6 or 7. That said... this is 2025. '21 is now a fading memory and NO ONE is going to give you any credit for that in THIS year's contest. Nor should they. You line up and away you go . This year's combatants playing this year's 'game' and may the better side win. If you're lacking in either the players or stewardship you will struggle. If both are ineffective then you will be unceremoniously despatched. We're 5 and zip. Somehow not sitting on the bottom. Who's responsible ?? Well, from my cheap seat, the players have to be somehow complicit as they're the only ones actually playing. But playing at what exactly? Many experienced track watchers, many a seasoned supporter are seemingly unable to define a particular strategy. Is it that those previously mentioned Premiership players have all woken up one morning victims of some alien abductions and now rendered incapable of coherent and conducive football ?? Possibly the least likely of occurrences. Have the newer younger additions somehow hindered the more experienced?? Not particularly likely I'd have thought. What's left. It can only really be the instructions given to the players. And whose job is that ? I'm not thinking it's the line coaches. They are only responsible for the particular part of the overall gameplan/style that their briefs allow. They too a following instructions. Whose instructions?? The Senior Coach Some will come running forward screaming "that's not his job" Tbh I can only laugh at that as there is no one else whose job it is to to exactly that. The Architect come Builder of any teams efforts is the Coach. If not why have one ? Our Coach is not particularly successful currently. It's been a while between wins , indeed still waiting on one this year and was a while back in the last that we took the chocolates. Those looking at patterns will note after two less than flattering finals campaigns there is but one essential trend. Simply losing, and losing more than we win and very seldom able to backup one win with a other. Somehow we are to suddenly click ? The same players with same coaching to same instructions.... suddenly going to click ?? The only way this changes, is WITH change !! The club is simply in denial otherwise and that , to me , indicates they are simply wrong ... or they too are the wrong ones. Currently we've 22 odd players without any coherent idea of what to do and as many ( likely ) aiding them off field If we were a business using this strategy we'd be broke and calling in receivers. There's a saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" If that is true then so must its converse " if it is broken, fix it" Fixing often entails removing what doesn't work( broke ) and replacing. Over to you MFC

In breaking news... the HFC have turned back the clock to go out in solidarity with the Demons. "We won't forget we were almost the Melbourne Hawks... so we thought we'd play like them !! ""

Mercy rule... surely

Tbh... I don't get the impression... and arguably its only my impression.. that Choco gives a flying f atm His player whispering magic has disappeared out the door. The special skills .... well... we have sfa.. He's on a good wicket eh 😏 I.e why is he there ???
