And Harmes rucking is a joke. I know we don’t want to go tall in the wet but the whole time Gawn was on the bench was an utter shambles in the middle.

    Lever is simply just going to the wrong position three quarters of the time and never effects the contest. 

     

    Really concerning how much he isn't clicking

    I couldn't believe that. Nothing surprises me anymore with Goodwin, the bloke is completely out of his depth as a coach. It is just stupid to have Harmes go up against McKovey.

    Not worried.  It's 8 points.  Well and truly in the game.

    You’re not worried we let them kick the last 5 goals? I wish I had your confidence.

    Our forwards playing in front of their man for once would be a good start. 

    Playing in the same postcode for that matter.

    No more honourable losses please.

    No. This would be a good game to pinch because we have played like sh*t. All that matters is we get the W. But hopefully we concentrate on our weaknesses during the next week after stealing those wins.

    If we can’t beat a middle of the road Geelong or hawthorn then we haven’t improved. We’ve beat a dismal bears and Roos 


    I don’t want to jinx it but Oscar has been A grade. 

    We have done a good job on Mitchell. I think Jonesy is on him. However we are still losing the clearances which is not helping the panic handball to 12 Hawthorn players versus 1 Melbourne player.

    Stop the horrendous hanball and fumbling and we are back in it.

     

    Some awareness running with ball would also help.

    They kicked 4 goals for the term, we kicked 4 points.  They just took their chances, we didn't.  Plenty of time to fix things up.

    You're right, we are in it for sure but i think it's frustrating because we should be winning? kicking behind after behind, making poor decisions inside 50... i just hope we tidy up and win this because we really cannot afford to lose 

    Totally disorganised right round the ground.Disposal is a disgrace


    Goodwin being shown up again today. Organization and strategy with ball today has been atrocious. I wish we had a coach who could organize this group properly because it’s a top 4 team playing below their ability at present.

    Not so sure mate, need a massive 2nd half to win this

     

    Goodwin is being badly ourcoached. They have an extra around the ball when Gawn is rucking due to him winning most. They even have two extra when it is inside 50. We sit out loose players just 20m away and they kick over them and we they are away. We cannot go anywhere with him at the helm.

    • 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.
