Not even Gold Coast had 19 scoring shots against them last night.

Who is accountable for this? It is embarrassing and there are players out there that should be better than this.

To not even touch the football? Horrible.

    We are a disgrace, pathetic effort. Put your money down on gold coast getting their first win in 2 weeks. Re coaches and recruiters are responsible for this that's who! Rabble

    Not good at all, it was almost a carbon copy of the pre-season game except Hawthorn played even better... We fell away, had no grit or determination and showed some signs that should seriously worry even the most steadfast believers in Bailey's plan, straight kicking made us look better than we were for 2 quarters. No one expects the dees to win every week, but we want it to happen, and no team will ever win with so few scoring shots and inside 50s...

    although its a losing cause, like to point out that the Spark which awoke the Hawks came courtesy of TWO ridiculous "kick-the-goal-for-them" umpiring decisions... when the call is so bad, no-one ever sees a replay, you know its [censored]!

    Then Jamar gets pinged twice for doing his job against a fn failure of an AFL footballer masquerading in the ruck - Hale & Disgrace!

    Those 2 "gimme-goals" really got the wind up their sails

    But at end of the day - GET A MAN FFS!!!!

    There are players much more capable out there to prevent what happened today. It is damn frustrating. It took a heap of ball for Buddy to start to have an influence and Roughead was held by Rivers but it was just a swamp by Hawthorn that every single player out there touched it.

    The goal from Cameron Bruce, he hardly wanted to know about it until he saw the free space 25 mtrs out. Where were we?

    Why do we continually start every single qtr slowly? It seems we get some confidence from say, a nice snap from Dunn or mark from Jurrah or slicing play from Davey and then a run on starts. How come we NEVER come out from a huddle breathing fire?

    I'm happy to be patient, 35 yrs and watching MFC deliver false promises allows me to be so but I want more from this group than mere stats being trotted out by the coach. The talent there demands it IMO.

    Losses are fine. There needs to be a bigger imprint from those in charge and I don't see it at all.

    Was worse than that, at least one Hawthorn shot was out on the full, we thought it was 3 or 4 but admittedly we were in the GSS

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
