What was that effort from O-Mac....ran under the lot.  And Stretch's disposal running out there ...pure panic

 

Just get good deliverers inside 50 and a proper forward coach to teach effective leading patterns and we'll be fine…well, fine enough to beat GCS.

    Wasteful , Wasteful, wasteful.

    Any half decent team would be ten goals up by now.

    I wish TMac would make a lead

     

    It just occurred to me that we are genuinely a bottom 4 team right now, it's just that we've beaten two other bottom 4 teams. I feel sick.

    We are a disgrace. How any team can justify those inside 50s is beyond me. 35 inside 50s for 3 goals. What a joke. 

    We haven’t done a single thing to improve that ALL year and the season is gone. Wake up Goodwin!

    Gold Coast's strategy is clear:  Play through whoever Oscar is playing on. #football101

    You should probably get your eyes tested..  You do realise to be a goal it has to clear the line?  ?

    it did get your eyes checked

     

     

    Jones hacks the last kick inside 50

    Brayshaw handballs to someone under extreme pressure

    Oscar just completely fresh-airs an uncontested spoil  up the other end

    CLASSIC DEES I LOVE IT ?


    What has happened to the game post 666 is an abomination.  It's made it worse not better.  Well done Gil & Co!  ?

    don't know why people are complaining about the gameplan. there isn't one!

    We cannot hit a target ? inside fifty. It’s deplorable. Jones’ last one when he had McDonald typifies the season to date. It’s so farrrrkin hard to watch. And when it goes the other end they convert from set shots because they hit short passes. Throw Salem forward. Also, I don’t understand what Keiltys role is. He did himself no favours in the first 20 minutes. Dropping marks and missing goals 


    I never thought kielty was gonna be the saviour but jeez I'm sure Casey has better players we couldve drafted than him. Shows no intensity 

    Not sure if this has been mentioned.

    This is an average game of footy.

    Not helped by two teams that are pushing numbers back.

    And that both teams are pretty [censored].

    Put Keilty on the bench and leave him there, I don’t know how he was able to get a second game but he is honestly the single worst footballer to wear our jumper I have ever seen. 

    Lewis is pretty horrible defensively. 

    Our forwards keep running under the football 

    Melbourne have been bad, but posts like this are just pathetic. Hope you feel better attacking someone through the anonymity of the internet.

    Pretty rare that every commentator in the box agrees on something, but they all agreed it hadn't crossed the line. 

    As did the third umpire.

    As did everyone except for you, Stevie Wonder.


    36 inside 50's for three goals.  A goalless quarter against the Gold Coast Suns

     go Dees!  You really make the supporters proud!

    garlett worst on ground. but seriously, why the hell is petracca played forward. one of the worst kicks for goal in the last decade. terrible coaching. he missed 2-3 goals that I personally would kick most of the time.

    Petracca has the yips! Why are we continually playing him as a forward?!?

    Because he can't play anywhere else 

    Not sure if there’s an issue with game plan. It’s just our ball skills trying to hit a target going inside 50. They’re terrible.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
