The injuries were always going to come.

GWS can physically do anything they want & we don’t respond. Toby Green knee’s with intent to hurt on MacDonald, then our skipper cops a full on poor disguised punch in the face & just nothing.

softest team in the Comp by a fair margin.

Yep other clubs see us as soft and we are.

Its not just the injuries for me its the fact t hat Tmac, O mac, Viney, Gus, oliver, Garlett, Jones have gone so far backwards.

    Get rid of the coach, the coaching panel, the recruiting team and don’t ever recruit players who can’t kick. Basic skills ffs!

    That he's made the phone call to Clarkson...

    I always knew Goodwin was a poor decision maker.
    Gambling, peptides and taking the Melbourne coaching position.

    Clarkson wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole.

    Goodwin could at least run through David King on the way out.

    For Gods sake people, other than our pathetic skills, which makes it impossible to watch,  did anyone think our Casey side would get within 10 goals of a full strength Giants.

    This is atrocious - what do they actually do all week when at training for inside 50’s!

    also C Wagner and B Fritsch smiling after every GWS goal is doing my absolute nut in.

    we are a disgrace.


    We need to make a statement and drop TMac

    Collingwood nearly won a flag with worse injuries. Richmond have a load of key injuries and are still winning games. Injuries are hurting us, but getting demolished by opposition coaches and our insipid ball use is hurting us more, and that’s coaching.

    If Goodwin  mentions lacking forward connection or we will work on our forward craft I will fair dinkum spew.  Give us members some real answers 

    i don't understand why we're continuing with what's not working in terms of oliver, viney, harmes as the core trio in the middle alongside gawn

    i'd try mixing it up - throw viney and oliver forward for petracca and brayshaw into the middle, for starters - brayshaw can't play anywhere other than in the middle anyway, so might as well play him there

    Having watched him on tv the last couple of weeks (whereas I normally watch the game live), and he is just not going into contests. Refuses to bend, tackle, or raise his arms. Can’t break out of a jog.  

    I am going to assume he is injured

    Back injury.?

    There is no solid plan B - and thats the issue.

    When he does finally make any sort of tangible change, its too late.

    I liked the decision to play Spargo and Lockhart as full forwards that quarter. Inspired move

    Meantime GWS have 3 fun key forwards. Kill me.

    This is why i think Goodwin has hit the wall. 

    He knows it too i think...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
