Was calling for the loose man after the first 4 goals to clog up their forward line and force them to change their plans. All their goals came from quick breaks to an open forward line.

It took us until 8 goals down to make the move! Absolutely pathetic - how many people in our box?

I'm not excusing the players who have been terrible but that is just a disgraceful lack of tactical nous

 

cue in the rack, no such thing as pride at this club

Hello. I’ve been saying this for yonks. Paul Roos is a terrible tactical coach. It’s not that his tactics suck; it’s that he’s not quick enough to change them when things go wrong.


We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

It doesnt even hurt anymore

Just numbness.

Given up with 75% of the game left.

Im going to back to those $10 atomic pale ale 6 packs.

8.3 51 to 0.2 2

Hard to know what to say really. PJ must be on the edge of madness here.

Must say the doggied supporters are decent people. They seem to have a full complement of teeth, use nouns and verbs and don't abuse everyone in sight.
 

we are meters behind all their players and not real effort to run. too slow to move the ball on absolutely gutless effort. do we actually have any onballers in the middle doing anything other than standing around like witches hats

I'm sick of Lumumba, he played one good game in r1 and has just made mistake after mistake after that.


Murdered in the middle and theBulldogs too fast, sure and accurate. Roos need to earn his money this afternoon.

Nope. It's like playing geelong on their pomp. Manic running, risk taking. Brilliant to watch

And if they can keep this up, they'll start to get some Geelong-like silverware.

Impressive. Interesting also how a few "hot" players lift everyone else and set a kind of standard that everyone else just follows. We just don't have those players, at least not around the stoppages.


12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

Petracca on Twitter before he deleted it:

"Wow"

I'm a huge Roos fan but it took way too long then to make the move. You can't just let a team continue to play the game on their terms, you need to react and try to force them into changing their thinking.

I'd rather watch Casey play than to see our so called leaders dish up nothing

We could have put 5 behind the ball, wouldn't of helped. Roos isn't responsible for the lack of effort from the first bounce.. Disgraceful effort by the players especially the midfield allow clearance after clearance

[censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] up [censored] off dick [censored] [censored] worst [censored] [censored] ever [censored] seen

 

Honestly sick of the tripe this club dishes up. After wins like against the Cats the players say "yeah we've turned the corner", then to come out and be 49 points down in one quarter???

No wonder this club can't attract members

Yeah, that one hurts.

Don't start.

Stringer had a serious leg injury, no-one quite knew how or even if he'd be able to get back. We weren't the only ones who passed.

  • 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.
