Agreed with all of it, as did a few callers

The Podcast will be up soon no doubt

    Should have started after the Adelaide loss. All pointless now. But this week's game was arguably our worst on a skills front for the season so unsurprisingly the heat has risen now. Looking forward to listening.

    I just got out of Denial, check the other thread!  ?

    Why do people always attack a commentator when they point out how bad we are? MFC have been extremely lucky so far in how they've avoided their right whack from the media. Only Ox and Lyon have noticed so far, but now, finally, the focus is on us (at least a bit anyway).

    Robbo has also described us as a 'basket case' in his regular post-round write up.

    It's not a commentators job to find the answers, it's our coaches.

    Yes i know.

    But there were 3 Coaches jobs already ended this year. That is the only reason Goodwin has been spared so far. 

    He was lucky Bolton was still hanging on when we played Carlscum, we wouldn’t beat them now. 

    The Media Torch has moved. Goodwwin will get this Summer to get his shiit together.

    You can see in the Goodwin presser and the message to members he is devoid of ideas and at a loss to explain the performance as the "injuries" we are building a game style etc excuses and talking points don't wash any longer!

    Bolton was sacked in June, we played Carlton in July. 

    Kingy was a big supporter of Melbourne last season and before the commencement of this season, it’s a shame to lose the support of an outsider. Our membership will take a huge hit next season.

    My mistake about Bolton. Sentiment remains. 

    Yep King was a huge Supporter for a long time. No more....

    Lucky?  it would have been better to have the blowtorch back in round 5

    was not attacking him, just pointing out they have a very easy/high paying job

    Dub. There were 3 jobs on the line early in the year. They have now been sorted

    Goodwin is now “on”

  • Quote

    The players remain the same but have no confidence and the team structures haven't held up at all.

    We get scored on the same way every week, 666 has been a death knell to set up, teams getting over the back, lack of pressure and so on is clearly coaching!

    Skill execution is a player problem but in part come back to player development.

    Don't really think it's an 'easy' job at all. Whether you agree with him or not, he's one of the best for actually doing a stack of research into his analysis. If it was a 'very easy/high paying job' wouldn't we all be raking it in with every post on Demonland?

    I agree we should have had the blowtorch a long time ago, and if we weren't such an irrelevant club we might have.

    Goodwin is lost, Jennings is lost, the players look lost, the Leaders are not leading, the club is sick and has been all year. 

    Players in the press basically admitting no one has any idea whats going wrong, Max saying they are a long way from a  basic AFL team, Lever saying they fundamentals are not there.. its just bloody embarrassing, it really is, its a total unmitigated disaster and no one can arrest it.

    First one to really put the heat on Goodwin. 

    "This one sits in the coaches box."

    Can't see it turning around this season. That gives Goodwin 6-8 weeks in 2020.

    Yep. The comments by Max tell the story

    i have never heard a player talk like that

    Agree with everything David said. The marketing campaign starting this week with the "Big 3" may be a disaster as why would anyone come and watch us play the way we did Saturday night. 3 game membership who would bother.

    I have asked the club not to send me their Monday morning email with Goodwin's message. The problem has been there all year and nothing the club has done has fixed it. This is a massive fail both at player level and coaching level.

    They deserved King's boot in my opinion.

    It is obvious, what is wrong..   Skills and Connectivity = 13 goals scored via turnovers.

    Fixable ......Yes , by getting ball out before opposition line up

    When....... Soon Hopefully

    Solutions : OMac to CHF Pretty to CHB, Clarrie to Outside MId:  Gus, Harmesy in MId, JV to Small Fwd

    This is an outcome of something being wrong within the club. Are the players rebelling? Is the game plan overly confusing?

    I agree King is one of the better ones but surely you can see he gets the job based on being a former AFL player and then just needs to comment on tactics/stats and occasionally making an outlandish comment to make headlines.  doing some research when this is your job is not much to ask. Us fans on DL obviously dont get paid even though a reckon a few of us know just as much about footy than Kingy if not more (not including myself here)

    a dream job if you ask me

    Look you can pick it apart as much as you like. Yes we have been s*@^ all season, we know, have been putting up with it, not just this year, for many years.

    If this c&#(@ is there in 2020 (HELL I HOPE NOT) then we should move people on, but for now please have faith, that next year we have a full fit list of players who when they put on our jumper and run out for their first match of the season in 2020, they bleed red and blue.

    The coaches need to know they are on notice, improve or don't let the door hit you on the way out.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
