We're going backwards

Naughtsie, Toff and Scotty reflect on how the club has sunk back into mediocrity so quickly. Two years ago we were celebrating our first finals win in 12 years. Optimism was strong. Now we're reeling after two insipid losses to ruin our finals hopes and we've gone 12W 25L since the Prelim. Pessimism is back, and rightfully so. Hosted on Acast.

Mental fragility remains

Naughstie and Scotty dissect where it all went wrong for the Dees, especially that horrendous third quarter.

Marca and Naughtsie are baffled that Sam 'Choofta' Weideman is not getting a game at the moment, especially when you consider Melbourne's abysmal forward line setup and delivery.
