I have just got home from the game. I watched it till the end. I just feel sad. That was Humiliating. Ime cold & wet. Inside & Out. We deserve to be Laughed at, & treated Poorly by the AFL right now. I am sick of excuses. 4 Years ago Geelong was on a par with Melbourne. Now Look at the Chasm of Difference.

This club has so much work to ddo over the next 6-7 Months.

Incredible to think we have been Paying 100% of our salary cap

All Players should be put on Base Incentive Contracts. Earn Money with Hard Work.

We do not deserve the MCG as our Ground Right Now. I was Humiliated Tonight & its got to stop.

I love my club But Not Like that. We gotta Get Tough. There was no Toughness Tonight. It's not acceptable.

So how do you think we can get there whyyou?... It seems like our basic skills are failing and just not up to scratch at all which results in our high error rate. Maybe Bails needs to make them train more times each week and just focus on practicing those skills repeatedly, I don't know.

I hear ya though, it is demoralising but I guess the team needs us now more than ever while they rebuild from the bottom. Agree with your point about incentive contracts.

Go Dees!

This team has got to be worked hard. The same way John Kennedy put a rocket Through Hawthorn in the Late '50's. Hard Tough Training. Yes Geelong are a Great Side, But Melbourne was intimidated & I will not stand for that. These Guys earn Big Coin & as such i expect them to earn it.

Buckley said it right in the commentary tonight, that basic skills shouldn't have to be taught at the AFL level. Players need to bring more than the basics with them at this level. So what went wrong tonight?

I just think its so dissapointing how many players haven't kicked on. Im talking about Bate, Jones, Dunn and Sylvia. All have shown they are capable of playing good footy but if someone was to tell me they were never going to play another game for the MFC it seriously wouldn't bother me.

From tonights match, seriously the only players I would keep would be

Maric, Morton, Wonnaeamirri, P. Johnson, S. Martin, J. Frawley, Buckley and maybe Chris Johnson. Im not mentioning older players e.g Bruce, Green and McDonald who give it a crack simply because they probably won't be in the next premiship challenging side.

This Team was intimidated tonight. That's what happened. I last saw it in the '88 Granny. That culture is still there. We never impose against a top side NEVER. Since NORM SMITH WAS SACKED...Dammit.

I think its very safe to say that preseason training will be very tough at the MFC.

Tough training does not make tough players.

We simply have none of those. :angry:

What would you define a tough player? List some from other clubs that are.

yeah ok but..... what about the rest of this year???? we still have three games to play and we need to redeem ourselves from last night's absolute flogging. from here on we need to be able to get some back. We have got WCE, Port and Richmond to go and if we catch get at least one we are in real trouble.

i just hope those dees are out there right now working on their ball skills and hardening up.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
