I was watching the game today imagining clark and Hogan in the forward line but even they won't make too much of a difference if we can't get the midfield clearances and get it in their hands

Loose on defence you mean.

Our issues have always been more than just coach deep.

It starts and ends with this lazy, talentless, unfit list.

Went from being 4 goals down after the first half to 20 goals. Disgrace.

Blease is very dissapointing too, 3 or four efforts in four quarters of footy is unacceptable

Thanks PM got out of bed this morning at 5.30am to watch the game on the AFL site and that was my start to the day, great.

Unfortunately I don't drink although I might start.

U r probably the only Dees fan who doesn't drink Robbie.

Happy Bday

i had a bottle of Red during the game.

Thoroughly recommend it. :)

OP Bundy bear is my comfort, Red is not strong enough to null the pain wyl.

Listened for a bit over a quarter, haven't and won't watch.

Two I 50s in the first quarter ! Seriously, how can the club expect even longstanding supporters to turn up and watch that rubbish ?

My overwhelming emotion is just plain sadness.

If they were paid for their performance they'd be queuing up at Centrelink this week to get some money because they certainly didn't earn anything the way they played today.

Was at the game till the end hard to watch keep hand balling there way into trouble all I can say is kick the thing long into the forward line and go straight up the middle the three times wedid it resulted in goals the second we chipped it around someone stuffed it up and we were on the back foot.Two minutes into the game I knew I was going to watch a sh$t display of football when two NFC players in defence watched a nmfc player take the ball on the boundary and kick a goal my grandma puts more pressure on than that effort

The worst part of all of this is that they are giving it a go most of the time and they train 2-3 times a week to put a display like that on the field.just woeful skills

Thanks DOX might have to take it up.

Shows great discipline that you haven't already 'Robbie', maybe the players could take something out of your book.

We are clearly cursed, that bit I definitely agree with.

And we definitely have the best jumpers in the competition.

It's not that I think we deserve a priority pick; we require one. Actually I kind of think we do deserve one. If seven years of non stop disaster do not qualify for a priority pick then nothing should.

And I'd like it to be BEFORE the start of the draft, so we can trade the pick for Boyd, haha!

Neil Craig spoke really well in the presser. I don't see him as the full time coach but i want him to stay at the club.

Grimes is a lost little boy. He is not a future captain..

Right now this club is very very sick all the way through.

That's arguably the one area where this club has been elite for a long time. Speaking well.

Yes i agree. But Craig is the real deal. He knows where we are.

The club was 'wyl', now it is in a holding pattern until new appointments can be made. Thought we might get through the rest of the year with some reasonable efforts but it's not going to happen. Again the most important part of our year will be September/October for the wrong reasons, new board, new coach, FD boss and list changes.

Nup. Gone.

Clean sweep.

Neeld was sacked, time to bring in a new team.

Start with trying to grab Ling, Bolton (potentially his last year) and headhunt Brett Kirk.

Minimum starting point.

i agree, but the club is still in a very bad way.

1 goal to 16 in a second half. No pride at all. Nothing.

Yep.

But i would still keep Craig. We need one constant.

He is a good man.

Yeah, I am not surprised by this result.

For those that are struggling to see how 22 blokes can be so dominated by another 22 blokes - it is not just a coach.

It's inertia. The feeling that attempting something will be met by failure so the attempt is affected or not even bothered with.

You won't run past a contest to receive a handball because you know, you just know, that your teammate won't get the ball and you are more worried about making sure your man doesn't get the footy. So you don't attack. And then, when the ball comes out of the contest, only one team is setup to win it. And they do, and they win the next one too.

You don't run. You don't trust your teammate to get the ball in a one-on-one, so you get in and 'help' and the other team has an immediate advantage with a release player created.

You become inert.

And you get thumped.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
