POSTGAME: Rd 22 vs Sydney


DemonOX

Recommended Posts

The complete apathy I have for this club is near equivalent to that of the Neeld years. 

I’m feeling so lost and low right now. 

Even with all of the injuries we have, there is something stinking so badly at this club.

Enough is Enough....

They will be doing alot of begging in 2020 by the sounds of it, Club and supporter relations at an all time low.

Missed the game. Just checked the final scores. This is my guess how we played.

Had more inside 50’s.

Gave away easy gimmie goals.

Gawn dominated but midfield pantsed.

Missed easy set shots.

Captains played like spuds. 

Consistently turned the ball over.

mindless bombing into forward line.

Am I wrong with my guesses?

Yep - I agree. Something seriously wrong.

I have said that all year and certain people on here have attacked me for it. 

Something has seriously stunk since Preliminary Final Day last year, something apart from what we have been told. 

Board Level, Club Level, Football Dept. could be any of those 3....

My favourite part was when the players just decided to start trying to take hangers at the end (Harmes especially). I guess they have busted their guts up to this point so they were due a little bit of fun.

Liked the Lever acquisition but he has zero ability to compete in a one on one. Nathan Jones has been a great servant but he is no longer AFL standard and he has gotten very lazy. Time to move on. The kicking for goal I have no words for. Viney maybe just isn't a good league footballer. The overall ability to compete in the air is an embarrassment to everyone linked to the club.

Ive never seen so many players that disinterested in playing a game of footy in my life. Period. Not that I can blame them, Goodwin looks as if he hasnt had a clue since the qualifying final last year...

But they do. The question is where and why has it disappeared.

That kids bleeds red and blue. What has happened to this group?

It certainly looks like the coach has lost them, or vice versa.    

Either way it will be another ugly and depressing (for us all here) year in 2020 unless there are massive changes in staff, in game plan (assuming we have actually had one) and in passion and dedication.

Petraccas looking disgruntled when on the phone to the coaches said it all. They have lost the players.

Has any team ever wasted inside 50s as much as MFC?

Tonight 53 point, 9 goal loss, with ten (10) more I 50s.

How bad is our structure?    Goody, please answer.

Lucky we spent two trade periods turfing out our entire forward line while recruiting overpaid key defenders that cost us a fortune in draft currency and can't even get on the park. Sheer brilliance from the geniuses in list management.

The commentators are still running the company line of excuses for the MFC? Why??? Why won't anyone just call this club out for what it is? I guess it's because we are a nice play thing for other clubs in the competition, and you wouldn't want to disrupt that. If you're struggling and want an opponent that you can beat on pure effort, circle the Demons on the fixture. It's a nice fallback for other clubs.

Agree.   Goodwin (should be renamed Badloss) talks of loss of connection between mids and forwards - he has yet to admit total loss of connection between the club and those who prop it up, us supporters.

Is it possible to train/instill pride during the off season?

Not with Jones and Viney there.

Look at Cripps, bottom of ladder for years and always punches through in games regardless on how the team is going. Viney and Jones just go to [censored] when the teams down

Another thing that killed us is the extended goal square kick in rule. The number of times Sydney got it past the wing was staggering, on the other hand we can't seem to get it beyond 60m. This club is looking like it's on death row, next year is make or break and I have zero faith in this group of leaderless half-wits.

Harmes tries to break a tackle in the last, gets pinged and 3 Sydney blokes fall on top of him letting him know all about it and not a single teammate steps in. Yeah, Harmes stuffed up but someone step the hell in and help. 

Sydney had a pack mentality tonight, don’t even know what to say about us anymore.

His body language was shocking on the phone.

Wasnt the only one. Clarrys flame and spray was something else.

The whole list isnt playing as a team.

This list and club is a shambles yet again.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
