Our forward line is complete puss.

T Mac is a slow, awkward doofus. Weed ain’t ready. Milkshake is badly out of sorts. Trac is a perennial disappointment. Our small forwards are...who are our small forwards again?

What we need is a strapping West Aussie who makes us walk an inch taller.

A day in the life ?

 

 

I'd like to join in on the complaining, but I haven't been watching sings 5mins into the 2nd, when we look flat as pancakes again.

 

What's worse is that @ding arrives on Monday, and I need to put up with his ranting when we lose again next week.

Bloody depressing.

Jetta has been absolutely putrid tonight!

The fact that I have so little faith in Goodwin only makes it worse. I hope like hell I am wrong, but god this feels like the beginning of another season from hell and I’m so tired. 

The crap this club continues to serve its supporters and members is a disgrace. 

 

You recall we won two finals last year right?

Bloody depressing.

Why would i rant when i have predicted both of our losses so far. I expected us to be poor.

P.S. lucky for us this narrow ground suits our game plan.

we Need to start looking to next year now. Put players out for surgeries and start the pre season. It already feels like they have written this year off with the amount of excuses already trotted out this puss club

    And the worst part? We have not a single good player waiting to come into this side in the near future. 

    Lever is weeks away. And other than Lever we haven’t got one player out who will make us a significantly better team. 


    Really shocking umpiring performance, how can you block someone from behind?

    Couldn't agree more.
    Didn't hear Hawthorn and Geelong complaining about short pre-seasons due to long finals campaigns and players off for surgeries when they were winning flags.

    Like every other decision that has gone their way.


    I hope we don't hear from Goodwin that "we didn't resemble ourselves".

    We did. Huge inside 50s with no result, done out the back again and again.

    That's  one of our classic losing modes.

    Did I mention no forward structure.

    Yes, it's wet.

    You hope to get four goals s quarter   Bloody not four goals for the whole game !

    16.5 on a wet night.

    This is "one of those games" where you can't do a thing wrong if you tried.

    We inspire that sort of form in our opponents, such is our limited ability at present.

     

    We won't be this bad all year.


    Vietnam war doco on history channel is interesting..

    This is atrocious, a cannot believe how many of our top players are out of form.  Good night all 

    They and we,  all fell for the positive fugazi during Preseason. 

     

    And we all made much of the fugazi ourselves,  selling ourselves our own hype.

    The players obviously believed it,  and are mentally under-prepared now,  and are playing catch-up,  Re confidence and also fitness,  because I think the Mfc fell into the same trap,  as we have.

    If only the conditions were nicer and the match was at the MCG...

    We have no efficiency and skill on the outside. This isn’t new, I’ve been saying it for years, but tonight highlights it.

    If we don’t smash teams around the ball, we are no chance.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
