The downturn is really hard to make sense of.

Did we overachieve last year? Well, that's bollocks, you can only win against who you play against.

So what has changed (aside from personnel) for things to be so vastly different in 7 games (inc prelim '18)?

And more importantly why has it changed, and what needs to be addressed.

I'm really hoping Goodwin (or the rest of Demonland) can give me some clarity and answers on this.

 

 

Something stinks at our club.

Looking forward to the number 1 draft pick next year 

Yep, round 1 picks have worked out a treat for us over the last decade....

I’m down next week for my only weekend in Melbourne this year, is there anything exciting happening in Melbourne fellas? Cos there is no way I’m wasting $60 bucks to watch Melbourne jog around not caring or giving a single [censored]......

Hawks will carve us up.  We are so easy to play against, Clarkson wouldnt even need to show up to the game.

 

Oh I just want to say I love the umps!

well done boys another smashing and consistent effort.

The club sent an email promising a better effort. Well stuff them for more empty words. It’s about time we heard from Bartlett promising some action. No matter what Goodwin says there systemic problems behind the scenes.

What they promised was a better effing.


This club needs to sack their drug dealer.

Seriously wondering if on tonight's form we are skilled enough to beat any AFL team.

Confidence has evaporated, trust in each other non existent, skills non existent, and intent to work hard just a memory from 2018.

From the outside it seems inconceivable to witness such a complete capitulation in such a short period of time. From the inside? Who knows, but something does not smell right.

We would stuff it up

 

Given where we came from at the end of last year that is the worst opening 6 rounds i think I've ever witnessed.  Never seen so many core players so badly out of form, so unfit and so lacking in confidence.  Murdering the ball by hand/foot and making so many poor decisions.

First half was a slog and hung in there but after half time they beat themselves with more of the previous 5 weeks (outside of one blip against an equally sluggish Swans on a smaller oval easier to defend) of rubbish football.

We are officially the worst football team (in terms of unforced turnovers and horrid disposal) in the AFL right now.

Goody has achieved this in a matter of 7 matches albeit with some degree of unfortunate luck from injuries and surgery etc. 

Huge dose of the reality cucumber tonight at every level of the FD and club now.  If Goody didn't think things had gone completely off the rails prior to tonight then he sure does now.

As someone said in the game day thread... Back to the draft and drawing board.

Time to re-set and renovate starting with T-mac, the Weid and Fritschkreig off to Casey.

Other than a select few, zero confidence from way too many.

Can Goody swallow his pride and finally realise he needs to review his game style and coaching methods?  At the moment we are the worst in the AFL, outside of playing a sluggish ordinary team on a smaller ground.

Goody needs to get an explanation from the umpires boss on the massive inconsistencies between how we are umpired compared to the opposition every week. It is ridiculous.

Give the umpires a rest. Sick of hearing about them. They are not causing us to lose games. If we are first to the ball  we don’t give away frees. We have pathetic skills - that’s the problem. 


hilariously i booked  some prof development up on the goldy 4 months ago as i thought we'd be playing some great football and in for a thumping at Metricon, whilst I sink beers... I do believe the thumping may still happen, whilst im sinking beers still...just to us.

I thought the effort was there.  It was better than last week at any rate.

Everything else kinda stunk though.

"Rinse and repeat"

Gee that made a big difference. Seriously do you think the Umpires lost it for us. Give it a break please.

Seeing that everyone wants somebody sacked, how about the idiots who run the railways in this State?

We’ve been waiting 15 minutes for a train on the Frankston line and it’s still 3 minutes away.

Sounds like a lot of congestion. Make them the forward line coach.

It is clear that this club stood still over summer. Absolute indictment on every individual involved. Goodwin and co. brought this upon themselves.

This could be worse than the Neeld years by the end of 2019. I really hope not, but any positivity looks a million miles away.

Yep Cocktails ? rather than hard work

So Melbourne after 1 finals series....

It was only for the first quarter after that we were outrun, out-tackled, out-worked and we have managed to kick 13 goals in 2 matches. Not much of an improvement that I can see.

The butchering of the ball going forward can explain a lot of what is happening statistically 

Not just going forward. It's been the key characteristic of the whole year.

The other defining characteristic is that the players' confidence is completely shot, and coming up against an in-form, confident side like Richmond, only rubs their faces in it.

Carey and Ling talking up the Tigers for the Premiership now. Ummm....they were playing Melbourne.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
