I found the problem

Disappointing crowd to be honest. Spare seats everywhere 

We’ve gone backwards and are bottom four material. Two goals in a half isn’t good enough. 

We just aren’t up to it and are a comedy to watch.

Could someone who is sound of mind give me, and others in the same boat, a brief run down of the half.  It seems like we're having a dip but running into the same problems.

Richmond get an inside 50 and if they get a point or intercept mark me go long down the line every time, they get the ball back. Rinse and repeat.

Worst skilled side in the AFL. 

Effort has been fine. 

Game plan putrid. 

Refuse to switch. 

They have no idea what they are doing. 

Evert kick is to a pack.

Putrid football.  


We've had 3 up and then 4 up.

I'm going to watch this one out to see if we can get 5 defenders to fly for a ball

U watch last week? Same as that except Richmond arent fully switched on. Otherwide it would be 6+ goals.

At least tonight isnt raining. Goodwin has no idea how to adapt to a live plan.

 

They are a bunch of crazy chooks without any heads.

No system at all.

Don't get me started on Gartlett.

 

We get sucked into the contest like seagulls and their is always tigers waiting for easy clearances it is really dumb football in slippery conditions 

What is with the continuous dependance on playing down the members wing [censored] me drunk.

We are clueless a mess.

Stretch, Harmes, Neal Bullen, 

NEVER TO PLAY ANOTHER GAME

Garlett, hanging on Just

Game plan PUTRID

SKILLS NON EXISTENT

COACHING WOEEEEEEEFULLLLLLLL

Our effort and pressure is good.

Skills for both sides have been bad very fumbly and a lot of hack kicks forward due to the pressure.

We refuse to switch the play, constantly going down the line to contests where we are outmsnned and /or outsized

Richmond have kicked 2 goals off the deck due to 3 defenders going for the ball. Same old story.

Richmond have killed us in the centre clearances 7-2. Martin killed us out if the middle that quarter. Oscar has been very good, Lever serviceable in defence.

I saw enough.  I figured the same issues from last week have been rearing their ugly heads again.

Has our defence been any better?

We are dumb, just dumb. 

Given the Anzac occasion...

And yet some refuse to blame the coach. We have to be the dumbest side going around. We kick to 3-1, we all go up in contests while they crumb goals out the back. We panic. We over handball. We are lost. 

What has happened to this team? We have gone so far backwards it’s frightening. Not one winner tonight except Oscar who has been solid all year.

I've seen nothing to suggest Brayshaw is anything but a serviceable VFL player.

Can always rely on you for an honest, balanced assessment, Doc.  Cheers.

The centre clearances are a real issue as it looks as though Gawn is dominating in the ruck and we are not taking advantage of that at all.  Going simply by stats it also looks like Harmes, ANB, Brayshaw etc are giving us next to nothing at the moment which just isn't good enough.

Hopefully something clicks and we turn the corner in the second half.

What run we had from the backline has evaporated. No run in the midfield. Too many in the contest as opposed to at the contest. Getting towelled in the middle. No forward coming TO the ball.

Finger in the dyke stuff this. Second half could get ugly

And this kick down the line stuff is (shudder) Neeld-esque


Shocking game of footy, we don’t look likely to kick more than about 2 more goals at best

The whole situation is just baffling to me. As everyone else has said, we've gone backwards at light speed. What the [censored] has gone wrong with this club in the off-season? If we keep this up, we'll be lucky to get out of the bottom 6.

 

Is there any reason why we are so unclean with the foot and they are slick?

Defensively we are doing okay but structurally everywhere else it's actually worse than last week.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
