GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Geelong


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
