GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Essendon

Featured Replies

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!!!

shocking by us and the umps 

 

 

soft decisions both ways      hate to be a defender        did we get the worst umpires this week

 

Umpiring completely [censored] 

Did we do a pre season?, sack the whole fitness department immediately.

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.....

Brayshaw kicking on his left when he doesn’t have to again.

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

Eerily similar to 2007.

 

That was a 50 to us....

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
