How clever we are to give Goodwin another 3 years before he could prove that last year wasn’t a total [censored] fluke. 

Embarrasing.

    That last play in the final seconds of the Qtr sums up what we are up against! "Play on, play on, play on" screams the ump and the Bomber player casually drops the ball to the turf in the tackle!!!! No further whistle for holding the ball will be entered into! I doubt the blokes who do the stats will even bother registering the tackle!!!

    for any other coach this start to the year would be sackable.

    This is [censored] putrid.

    It's smelling very amateurish at the very least Praha.

    We are 3 weeks in and apart from a few isolated pieces of good play we are a complete rabble from the get go.

    The selections are also bewildering and Goody forecasts them by saying earlier in the week (re questions from press about  Max getting targeted and needing some help) something like "We are happy with Max blah blah".

    So many dumb pieces of play.  So many sluggish footballers that have no burst speed and look like they've just played 4 quarters in a wet bog.

    Goody the buck stops with you mate.

    I’m shocked at how bad we are.

    Genuinely cant believe it.

    Me too DW. Our defence is 2013/standard. And we look like we,re second guessing every time we have the ball. We’re heading for another 80/plus thrashing . 


    The free against Jetta to Bulldogs reject was evidence of an ump who really wants to give a present to Bulldog reject!

    How are we going? I can't really tell based on this thread. 

    21 down quarter time


    When I said I enjoy a 2008 vintage I was referring to my wine and not my football team.....

    What's the best that's "instructed" ;)

    This just seems like 2007 all over again. Such a disappointment after such a great season. What happened


     

    That was a 50 to us....

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
