Our season is over. Can BS on here all we want, the saints are the second worst team in the league and we can’t beat them... 2018 is worse than 2017.

 
 

Something seriously wrong with our team if we can smash this rabble a few months ago and can't even beat them today. Horrible.


That late comeback only came about because St Kilda's run stopped and they went more conservative which played into our hands.

In no way did we deserve to win this game.

Get ready to hear about all the great lessons learnt this week. I think I'll spew.

Edited by Forest Demon

Time for Jones to relinquish the captaincy, just a soldier now who can't hit targets and doesn't inspire his teammates. 

Out: Joel Smith (no smarts), Tyson (the slow butcher), Petty (not at AFL standard at this stage).

Backline needs a major reshuffle. Midfield is too freakin slow, forwards are not playing for each other, Goodwin on thin ice now.

 

Some serious questions about this whole club yet again!  Goodwin needs a kick up the rear end.  Time for the blowtorch On big headed players who cannot cut the mustard.  Zero total commitment from this group.  They do drink their own stuff!!! Makes me sick

Gawn & Viney bleed for this club.

They do.  Viney's last term was immense, and they shouldn't have had him tag Steven at the start of the game.  The bloke is our bull at the stoppages, let him loose from the opening second.

This club kills it supporters year after year!!  Can anyone in the world save this club from itself?  We self destruct like no in history.  They make me spew.  Never ever can trust them!!!!

Lol what a club. It's a farken horror show down there. A complete disgrace of a club


Completely outplayed, and dare I say it, out-coached.  I'm completely shattered.

Incredibly frustrating seeing arguably our best midfielder reduced to a tagging role for more than half the game. Let him loose in the centre and he almost turns the game on his own.

Viney is a one-way runner and too slow when teams open us up on the MCG.

Goodwin's gameplan contradicts itself. It relies in quick sweeping attacks, that kills us on the transition, formed around a contested gameplan that dictates staunch defensive awareness and tactics.

Hay were still in the eight, some how.

Give it time especially the way we are playing. 

Melb never fails to disappoint. 

On a positive note we consistently disappoint. 


What lessons this week Goodwin?  This is gut wrenching for us all yet again.  We learn nothing!!!

Season is done, zero chance we make it now, what an absolute slap in the face after the talk from players about missing out last year, now let’s watch the AFL Change some rules to stop congestion and us not having the players to play that sort of footy, I sometimes wonder if we are cursed 

In spite of everything, lost in the back line, though that was also because of what was happening further up the field and the way the ball was coming in. We kicked 18 goals which is a winning score - but let them kick more.

Lost through some indiscipline and those handful of needless 50 metres that just handed them goals and gave them confidence.

Also inexperience (my constant theme), across much of the team but especially Petty who was clearly out of his depth unfortunately. Then throw in those handful of players we have who get the ball but have poor or unpredictable disposal, which leads to turnovers (Tyson, Harmes, ANB the main three).

No easy solutions, short of Jake Lever making a miraculous recovery, though I thought Smith played himself back into it, and Hibberd was decent. Thank god for Bailey Fritsch.

I'd be looking at Stretch (decent kick) and Vince (experience) back in.

I cant lay the blame at any one player's feet but if I did he would not be standing on them, he would be bald ,wearing number 6 ,with terrible disposal and be well past it.


When Oliver went down at the centre bounce and the umpire had his back to it, where were the other two umpires. 

 

That was our rnd 23. Onto next year.

Worst tall defenders in the league.

terrible pressure for most of the game

Please stop talking about our i50 entries. We let a team that beat the total average game score in a half and then go onto score 120+ pts.

The blame is squarely on the defensive running of the midfield and the bog ordinary defenders in our side. 

Omac lost without Lever

Petty debuts in one of our most important games of the year?

Disgusting decisions from the coaching staff with the selections this year.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
