GAMEDAY - Round 1

Defensive transition. They are waltzing it up the field every time they get it. Also, when Cam Guthrie can go from the centre bounce breaking tackles and kicking goals you know you are battling. Need to fix that if we are any chance to get back into.

Roos half time summary says it all. 

Geelong not playing well but our defence and movement is letting them find all the holes. One team playing other is a rabble. 

Give Goodwin the tape for us not to be embarrassed by the Lions next week.

This is like watching a bunch of ten year olds. They all run to where the ball is, get in each other's way, kick into each other and then when one of them randomly finds themselves free with the ball they kick it as hard as they can towards the goals.

Meanwhile we gave up two first round picks for a guy who built his reputation by never having an opponent and promptly put him in a situation where he always has an opponent. We left out two quality users in favour of a spare inside ball-winner and the inexplicable Wagner, and the umpires are all wearing blue and white undies.

We’ll get back in this game, turning point was Wagner’s overzealous late spoil. Prior to that we were getting the bum steer from the umps but no excuses for how we played. Trac and Ollie look good. Get Hogan in the guts.

Was Lewis even on the ground then?

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. 

unsurprising. we haven't played the mcg well since goodwin started. his coaching is now firmly under the microscope.

We were a decent defensive team under Roos but have regressed on that front under Goodwin. Lever can [censored] off back to Adelaide he’s as much use as [censored] on a boar

Don’t forget TMac as well

Yeah and imagine if Henderson was playing for the Cats. 

There are no excuses. We should be in this game and we are not. 

No matter how many disappointment this club faces, they don’t seem to learn. Goodwin has a lot of answer for. Poor selection and awful match day coaching. Either we are serious about winning or we are trying to develop NQRs like Wagner and Maynard and Hannan?!

You're joking?

geelong has been at 80% efficiency going forward the whole game. literally all they had to do was steady defensively and they'd establish the lead.

yeah we'll come back, kick 5 or 6 in a row, but we're still going to lose. This game may well as be round 14 2017. We play exactly the same time of football. 

Geelong is simply too efficienct around the ground. there's no way the cats lose from here.

this is more whether geelong is the type of team that loses from here, rather than if we have what it takes to win.

Geelong does not lose games from here.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
