GAMEDAY - Round 1


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Lever has been a massive disappointment. That is not an $800k a year player. It’s barely a $200k year player. Very poor defensively and done [censored] all offensively. 

Goodwin has a lot to answer for with his selection. Wagner is awful, Maynard tagging? What a joke! 

If we don’t capitalize on this Geelong team without Danger without Henderson and now without Taylor, we are not serious about finals. Very disappointing quarter. Let’s hope we bounce back because this is a big gap against a good side!

Remember we have our own outs who for us match Geelongs.

No need to be harsh on the players after 2 qtrs.

Goodwin hasn't shown he has learned anything from last season. Our set up is wrong and it doesn't change and leads to the opposition exploiting it over and over again. 

Roos got more out of a worse team, this isn't doing Goodwin any good.

All our eggs are in the basket of the contest. As soon as we turn it over, we get killed. This isn't sustainable.

Exactly. They have 2 ahead of the ball and thats how they are scoring.

 

Goodwin made zero changes to try and stop it.

Shown Ablett highlights at half time on the big screen.

Do you think they’d show Melb highlights at Geelong?

No way.

Wow. They were prepared for our game plan and are playing us like a fiddle.

They have a spare defender knowing we are going to rush our long kicks fwd.

Pick it off. Counter attack. Goal.

Hogan cant get near it with Blicavs playing close.

Hannan. 1 touch. 

Why we kick long and don’t cover their loose player is beyond me.

True but they are a man down and Danger is better than Viney and Tyson combined!

Don’t forget TMac as well

Any defencive structure Roosy put into this team Goodwin has thrown in the bin. 

74 points at half time in round 1 lol. 

I thought the one armed tackle attempts would drop with Watts gone. But he’s left a legacy. 

 

Time me to get out the old AFLX VHS tapes and reminisce about the good old days.

1 As I strongly said We should have played TYSON FROST AND GUS 

HARMES WAGNER AND MAYNARD NOT UP TO IT

LEVER is overrated and overpaid 

Goodwin is shizzzzen coach 

A lot of these players drink there own bathwater and wont do the hard years !!

The cancelled training camp says it all 

Thank God I didn't buy a membership this year

Viney, TMac are equal to our side as Dangerfield is to them.

We have no pace and spread. 

They have 55 more uncontested possessions and they use them to leave us flat footed and score.  

They have scored 20 times from 24 entries and us 13 from 30. 

Who are our running players.

Better show something in the last half or the media frenzy over the camp will be huge. Seemed to turn with lewis’ brain fade. Drop him I say. 

would you blame them? we are being owned and bullied by a better team. we couldn't even complete a camp.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
