Not a Oscar fan, but that was a great kick and poor defending by us. Or plugins the gap, it was the only place to lead.

yep

no one filled the gap which was appalling defensive footy, but the legrope was way too long

saints dominated last 5-10 minutes

 

We are so bad

Oscar was 5 metres to the side and 2 metres behind his opponent.

    Too many dumb clangers (Jones the main culprit) and too many lack the ability to go with their man once we lose possession.

    Too many at the coal face also as usual.  Smashed on the outlier by the Saints maintaining structure on the outside and not sending as many to the contest.

    I can only deduce this is a coaching issue as pretty much all other teams get this part of the game.

    [censored] woeful. Get [censored] with this [censored] Goodwin. Honestly this is a disgrace and we should be ashamed of this display. 

    That wasnt a mark

    Umps giving St Kilda an armchair ride. That last one was not a mark.

    Our defensive setup is deplorable. Everyone running around pointing like they know what they’re covering, while the opposition just chips it around for 2 minutes until they get a shot 20 out. 

     

    Neal Bullen does absolutely everything wrong. I’ve never seen a player with a more negative effect.

    Hunt is the slowest “speedster” in the game. And he does not chase at any sort of speed, just meanders around the ground.


    The Saints smashed us that quarter. People attacking our defensive setup but if not for your backline we'd be 5-6 goals down.

    Are we the first team to lead at half time without their midfield getting a touch?

    We are a joke. So easy to score against. Ratten is running rings around Goodwin by nullifying our midfield. Skills woeful. Too many third rate players.

    Defensive setup across the ground

    Phew, lucky the Saints aren't a better side. If so, we'd be 30 points down at half time.

    Getting smashed inside

    Need Oliver to move forward and break the Tag

     

    It is purely the disposal. We get it and turn it over.

    We are the worst skilled side in the AFL by a mile.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
