Video should be up tomorrow but key takes:

Team doesn’t work hard enough

Only way to silence history is to perform

Harshest critics are within the club

Rich were 8-6 last year and flogged by STK, they changed and evolved.

Need to buy in defensively

In the review they’ve seen the damning footage that would’ve been shown on On The Couch.

Game review was brutal this week

Need to prove ourselves v Freo this week

Never seen Goodwin react like he did, was angry, frustrated and brutal.

Unfortunately on that show it’s all about Jack and Richmond, however what Jordan said was good to hear, a bit of tough love by the sound of it this week

    Don’t care what was said tbh. No trust at all in this group, both coaching and players

    Maybe the should bring in some die hard fans and let the club/team hear us out how we feel? We generally do the right thing as members now they should follow suite

    At least he said something about us this week. I have given up watching because he always talks about his Hawthorn mates and we come a poor second.

    Sounds like he ticked off the talking points from the media department at 100% efficiency.

    Poor bloke.  Nothing he said would be good enough for most, so I'm not surprised by the reaction.  But he got asked the question and he answered it honestly.  Can't ask much more than that.

    Like others, media talk is a big yawn.

    Just talk only talk. Of course, Lewis has to say something and this is sending the right message to fans but I suspect most fans turned off long ago.

    Actions speak louder than words and I am afraid we have heard it all before time and time again. Like a broken record.  We all hear the words and rock up to the next game to see that nothing has changed.

    The only difference is that this time, Simon has been Un-Goodwin like and reacted angrily. Now it may be what we think should happen but it is not typical. So I think this is a positive thing as sometimes you need to react emotionally for players to get the message. 

    Have we got the cattle on the park to heed the coaches message and turn it around?

    We need every individual player to lift and for some magic to happen. 

    Time will tell. The Dees season is at the crossroads.

    Sounds pretty standard although Goodwin being really angry does suggest the players should come out breathing fire this week. 

    Mat the end of the day talk is cheap. His comment about Richmond is a good one. There’s still so much footy left in the season and it’s on the club to turn it around.

    Just watched the post game presser. Quite interesting. He plays a pretty straight does Goody but was obviously seething.

    Made it crystal clear we simply did not work hard enough. Mentioned a couple of times that a change in defensive all team pressure will be evident. Said in a way that suggests some will get a huge rocket - and perhaps that occurred in the review.

    I'm tipping at least one big name to be dropped this week.  I suspect Trac will be dropped.

    He rolled out the party lines!! That’s ok, what else could he say publicly?  

    The group and coaches have lost the trust of supporters, that’s it in a nutshell.

    Supporters are powerless and have to live with whatever the players dish up.  That’s our lot and there is sweet FA we can do about it.

    we are an under performing club onfield no matter who we have on our list. Shameful!

    Thanks Feebs!

    When the theory that Lewis and Vince cannot play in the same side was put to Jordan on 360 last week he played a fairly straight bat and then ended by saying something along the lines of 'this isn't the problem....there's other/bigger stuff going on....'.

    I hope this is probed further and elaborated on by Jordan now following the weekend's performance, somehow I doubt this will be the case. 360 on Tuesdays is the Jack and Richmond show and what Jordan said was completely glossed over. So I'm awaiting the upload with interest

    I don't get why people who think words are meaningless etc pay attention to the footy press during the week. I don't necessarily disagree but if you're just gonna say "actions not words" etc you may as well just shut off outside gameday other than to get injury reports

    The condemnation of the team this past week reminds me of post round 23 last year. Back then we could do nothing about it. Luckily we have almost half a year to do something about it and redeem ourselves, if we are good enough. We shall see how hurt the players really are.

    I think people might be overestimating the motivating powers of ‘pain’ and ‘hurt’.  

    Look to Adelaide this season to see how a hurt club performs... then cast your mind back to Geelong, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Tigers and recall that they they were motivated by positivity and unity in their successful years.

    I’m not sure what was more brutal, Goodwin or Demonlands response to Lewis ?

    He didn’t back down and told it how it is at least.

    Seemed laissez faire about the whole thing?

    What did you think?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      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?
