We are crap and for someone to comment on who we should drop i.e Jones ,Anb and to bring in Preuss. Eat your words. It is time to get rid of fan favs. Preuss, Petty and Keilty are a must. Wagner bros a w.o.t .

 

Glad we are away next week. Will not watch it.

I disagree with the middle.  We no longer control it when either of Viney or Jones go through there.  They are turtle paced and just end up giving a handball to a player under even more pressure as a result.

The minute neither of them play through there we start looking more mobile.

Clarry's also had a very ordinary night by his standards.

What I'm saying is our centre clearance structures are not functioning like last year... Max has been worked out, ans is not playing effectively.

We aren't getting clean ball out of the middle at ball ups.

Our backs and Mids push to far forward when we have it, and them we cough it up,  and it comes back thru empty space... as they run thru space.   Scoring at will.

 

Goody and the match committee have to change things quickly,  before this becomes a disaster...  which in turn means we have to change our personnel/types,  into the team.We brought in some runners and we need rot change our structures and setups.

Our zone is hurting us, on rebound.

Over officiating is killing the game. Rapidly losing interest all together.

You only have to look as far as AFLW to see how contrived the FIXture is to ensure $$$$$ and that means favourable outcomes for the teams that have huge membership! We played a game tonight that would have resulted in a win if there were no umpires! If you or any supporter can't see that... you probably think corruption can only exist overseas

At the same time, how blessed are we to have a Friday night game??? We aren’t even the first game of the round. You can’t say that we have a commercial benefit when the game isn’t the first of the week. 

Again yes, from the media to the organization itself....corruption is rampant

Averaging 114 points against this season.

That is bottom of the ladder caliber.

 

Mr Goodwin & All Players

You need to take a good mother f***ing hard look at yourselves.

Disgusting, disgraceful, absolutely embarrassing for our club.

When °Nev Jetta gets smashed front on, play on no free kick and then some of the BS that Essendon scored goals off?

That's absolute rubish.

And some of the crap they scored from.  FFS.

AFL lift your game.


Yes, at this stage I am writing off 2019. I'm giving Goodwin and coaching group until 2020 round 1 to reorganise this clubs onfield performance

With the draw we’ve got this could really be a painful year, I think we’ve reached a ceiling with certain players and our quality aren’t coming to fore. Tom McDonald is better than what he’s showing, I think it’s a combination of poor delivery to him and low confidence but him getting his confidence back is important. 

Meanwhile our defence is a rabble, no one takes defensive marks and that’s the big difference. Lever is massively missed right now because right now all the defenders are doing/can do is unconvincing fists. 

I think we’re heading for bottom 6 this year, the draw we’ve got is very difficult and it would’ve been tough if we were on song. Now it’s going to ensure a year of pain. 

I hate to say it but the positive is that looking forward to 2020 (yes I’m becoming one of those people) we will have a favourable draw.

Same, I'm in a spiral

The umpires combined paralysis at paying Demon players hard earn protection = free kicks, should be exposed and researched as fondly as some so called journos spew up the Tanking headlines!!! (as if half the comp weren't doing same)

I have officially hit the panic button! 

 

Not panicking BUT. even if we change our shape,  with quicker running players...  our main drivers and leaders are all hurt,  in the feet. 

 

TMC has lost a yard of speed, and also endurance,  and IMO is on limited Klms training thru the week.

Viney is slower by foot.

And Jones as well. with age.  not his fault.

Our skilled players like Hannan are not available. and we are relying on petracca who is a slow as the tortoise.

 

Bright lights are Lockhart, CWagner, Oli, Melk, Harmes,

 

I'm concerned that are main drivers are playing sore in the feet...  can't run properly.   Last years foot injuries are going to really hurt us.   I just wonder !!!

Who are the players who are impediments to a flag? Go!

 

i kind of think frost and omac

[censored] off. They have made disgraceful decisions all night in scoring position. 

Extremely eloquent why don’t you listen to the coach no excuses irrespective of whether the umpiring was [censored]. Good team overcome bad umpiring it that simple.

Who here is with US and who is agains us?

3 games we can do it fron here.

We can R(b)G... but we must change structure,, discard this full press, and come back to a rolling  press.

... or all the way to traditional old footy, might be too much for us atmo.

If he makes a comment he will be fined. What is spoken behind closed doors would be greatly different. Agreed good teams can overcome [censored] umpiring but to think they didn’t have an influence is very naive 

Not looking good for this season. Give us another 4 weeks and if we are still zero points we might as well look forward to an early draft pick and look to next year.

Im wasting my life with this team and just footy in general. Rules committee can go F itself, 6 - 6 - 6 shove it.

Well this was the first game where both sides scored over 100 points. 6-6-6 will stay, we just need to learn how to exploit it

????????????????????????????

good to see hunt back in form ( love what he can bring) , Fritsch stepping up and trac in bursts but they were the only things I liked. Umpires were horrible... especially in the last qtr. viney can’t seem to keep his feet, prob injured, . Tmac clearly carrying an injury. Backline zone  set up... a monumental fail. How did we go so far backwards in this so fast? It’s going to be a long shitful year I’m afraid. Nothing like the season being done by round 3... just like the old days.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
