3 times they've tried the kick over the top to Lewis, 3 times it has failed.

This has to be by far the worst game I have watched all year.

We are absolutely [censored] atrocious.

 

Salem can’t hit a target. Our disease has finally got him.

    mmmmmmmmmm

    perhaps we are tired... no wait.. that was the 2017 excuse

    This year it's injuries is the buzz word and the year before the year before it was we were too young

    Goodwin needs to do something about Oliver... 2 touches in 40 minutes odd of football.. hello Coach

    Salem 30 metre kick directly to Coffield's chest!!!

     

    Can't handle the pressure

    Where is the midfield? MIA.

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

     

    Both teams have had horrible skills, Saints have smashed us in the clearances, and that's where we need to start to turn things around.

    Salem and Jones are having shockers.

    Clarry tagged out of it.

    Baker is poor around the contest.

    Forward line is still disfunctional.

    Yes and no. Yes disposal is crap but we’re not really setting up fr easy movement of the ball either. Everything looks hard. We’re SO [censored] ... structures, skills. So hard to believe we’re back here again so fast.

    Schoolboy errors at this level is just embarrassing. I doubt we'll win if this awful brand of footy continues. Absolute shizenhouse

    Salems always been overrated.

    what a pitiful example of football. missing passes, handballs, tackles, no chasing.... actually its pretty much like we have been playing all year, so i guess we get top marks for consistency.

    Losing:

    contested possessions

    uncontested possessions

    inside 50s

    tackles

    marks inside 50

     

     


    well that all turned to [censored], viney, brayshaw, oliver 21 possessions combined. what's going on?

    The more I watch us this year, the more I think that it's not the injuries and the interrupted pre-seasons, or the 6-6-6 that has caught us out. It's the lack of having a runner out there the whole time. The collective footy IQ of this team is about Auskick level and without an onfield coach (ie. Runner) we're literally clueless out there. We are a joke.

    Oliver can’t handle a tag and he’s clueless as a forward.

    Brayshaw is an absolute worry.

    Gee we are lucky to still be in front. 

    Why hasn't maxy just stuck his knee up into this young kid? Show him who is the boss

    They have shut down Oliver completely. Our midfield need to regroup. 

    Its a shame we didn't try this Lewis experiment earlier. I don't mind it. 

    3rd quarter will be interesting.

    I hope we spend more time trying to drown our players with weird training exercises instead of working on our skills.

    Maybe dropping bricks on their heads might work this time...

    Getting wacked at the stoppages and on the outside.  Nothing new here as we send too many to the contest and don't maintain outliers for the receive.

    Forward line cactus ... inside 50 efficiency 45% to a whopping 63%.  Marks inside 50 .... 3 to 10!  To be expected given no T-Mac but we have the worst worst forward list (or equal with GCS).

    If we dont address the forward line flop we are toast again in 2020.  Takes pressure off defenders/mids allowing them to recover a little and set up behind the ball meaning a more effective wall/press and more repeat entries.

    Also are we still playing a spare behind the press?? I cant tell on the tele.  If not why not??

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
