I knew when we weren’t converting at the start of the 3rd we were done. They’ve had 6 inside 50s for 5 goals, went way too tall for the conditions and our midfield is letting them get simple kicks in there. 

Absolutely disgusting efforts inside our forward 50 all night, TMac has been awful, Weiderman (who simply HAD to kick his) mostly unsighted, Melksham continues to look off the pace, and Petracca mostly useless. 

But ultimately our deficiencies in defence has made this an ugly night. There’s no logical set up, no one marshalling the troops into position, they look like headless chooks. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more [censored] off with such a pathetic effort.

    Next week’s game will be one for the highlights reel ?

    We have the worst defence in the league. It’s not just the personnel it’s the structures. 

    Every time Geelong goes forward it’s like a sunny day with a dry ball.

    Annoying. But hardly the difference.

    It does not include the ones we should have been paid.

    Going to be a very long season.

    At least three games shorter than 2018.

    The bastards pump us up, give us hope then serve up garbage.

    We've kicked 27 points across the last 4 quarters.

    If you include the PF, we're looking at 4 full goalless quarters.

    In our past 3 matches, we've gone the equivalent of an entire match without a goal.

    And that's with 1 quarter left to play.

    We have been found out and we refused to analyse where it started

    Well let’s be honest. 

    At Half Time in Last Years Preliminary Final, we were Goalless, but the coach refused to review it. 

    I would have spent weeks pulling that game apart

    I bet lots of other Clubs took a very close look at it. 

    Over to you Goodwin....

    He doesn't own the responsibility. Even last week... let's blame something else .

    You can understand the team being underdone re fitness but what's the excuse about poor basic skills & bad decision making?

    Geelong are just so crisp & accurate even with a team of so many new players in bad conditions.

    One prelim finals appearance in god knows how long and yep, that'll do us...

    Who's job ?

    Sucks that we always have to play down at this s-$#hole place.  Unfair. When did Filth last play here?

    Sack Goodwin.  Everything that's gone wrong was blindingly obvious last season and he did nothing to fix it. 

    No chance he’s going to be sacked, but seriously there needs to be a plan B. At the moment we’re down on pace and skill. Team selection needs to be about team balance. Last year we had Tyson on the wing. Now it’s Jones. Chunk has a lot of heart but he has never ever been fleet of foot.

    Jade Rawlings leaving is evident.

     

    Siren and heads down. I hate asking this question but where is the leadership from Jones? At least Viney had a crack early

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
