If only we can kick straight 

Frost in superb touch though 

 

ANB is turning it over at a world record pace.

 

Who is surprised that when we need him most, Gawn is going at 50% fitness, Oliver is nowhere to be seen, likewise Jones, likewise Lewis. TMac can’t buy a goal, and Sydney can’t miss. 

[censored] me why do I do this to myself? Why do I get my hopes up every damn year?

3 goals to half time is dismall. What has happened to Tom's kicking? 

Hey Melbourne we are playing for a top 4 spot today. How much do u want it


Sorry, is it full time or half time?  So many calling this over.  It's 14 points FFS.

Pretty terrible quarter by our standards, but lots of improvement left in us and we have 2 quarters to do it in.  We finish games strongly and I see no reason why we won't do it again.  Obviously, our use forward needs to be cleaned up as it felt like every entry went in Aliir's direction, but outside of that we are still getting plenty of shots on goal and good run going forward.

Why anyone thinks we're out of it is beyond me.

    Just shocking. Goodwin better fired the shitheads up. This is crap. We could have smashed them. We will lose against eagles and gws. Play finals what a frickin joke. 


    Jones just jogged from half forward to half back in no mans land with no opponent as the ball shot passed him time and time again.

    One good thing.  We are close enough if good enough.  Now show us what you are made of Demons!

    Man 3.12, the sky looking dark as anything. This just feels ominous as ever. We don't look up to it. When your two best spearheads miss routine shots it says a lot about the mentality and we aren't there yet.

    Jones needs a rocket. Looks slow and indecisive.

    Same old story. Dominating almost every stat except goal accuracy. It's maddening how soft this team is in front of goal under pressure.

    Need to clean this [censored] up if the team ever wants to taste success at the highest level. Blowing yet another golden opportunity today and it's entirely our fault.

    Get your [censored] together Melbourne.

    I actually thought we had learnt but we continue to kick to a forward line where we are outnumbered. 

    Are we the worst club for set shots or what 3 goals 13 behinds FML.

    This is terrible, stage fright, 6 goals allowed in a row. 

    Goody [censored] do something.

    Wake up Dees or another opportunity is gone. 

    I cant see alot of detail from where I'm sitting.  Did we change up the starting mid field in the 2nd quarter or did the Swans change and/or just started getting more of the ball out of the middle??

    We were much more dominant through there in the 1st

    What the hell has happened to Tom  McDonald? Hasn't kicked a set shot for 2 weeks.

    Honeymoon is over 

    Get him down back where he belongs 

    Pedersend fwd for rest of game


    Sydney showing why they've been up there and thereabouts for a decade or more.

    For us, once again, inexperience, both individually and together.

    I hope goody makes some changes in the second quarter. I'd put pederson forward and Tyson off the wing, Jayden hunt on the wing , avb on the bench

    This is doable.

    When we get our skates on and get the ball out from a contested pack situation, then we have looked a cut above.

    It's when we get set shots in front of goal, we crap our pants.

    If we start converting then this is ours to win.

    Kicking inaccuracy is well & truly going to be an issue for the remainder of this game. 

    & for the usually reliable McDonald... his set shot kicking has dropped off a heap over the past month.

    Need more composure going forward. 

    Lets see if we can make amends in the second half.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
