Different circumstances to our 2018 Preliminary Final exit but Geelong forced their players to rewatch their 2019 Preliminary Final loss in particular how they gave up a 21 point half time lead and lost by 19 points.

 

Of course if they have a horror injury run and slip down the ladder the Scott haters will be demanding he be sacked for destroying the players confidence by making them relive the dire 3rd quarter.

    Not sure the players need to review such things,   that's up to the football department,   but the Coaches and FD definitely need to watch and review.

     

    Some players might never play to their ability again if their mistakes are highlighted in full company.

    Geelong are the most successful club of the decade in terms of win & loss, with Hawthorn and Sydney just trailing. Successful clubs put the spotlight on failure so the necessary people can take responsibility, learn from the experience, and use it as an opportunity to improve.

    Weak clubs mollycoddle everyone, especially the players.

    We didn't review our 2018 ending, we didn't learn, grow or adapt. We may have had a rough run in 2019 due to injuries regardless, but this is an ongoing trend that is unarguable. We are the 3rd worst club of the decade, below even Carlton! We are a weak club, and we will continue to be until we get serious and start acting more like the Geelongs and Hawthorns of the league.

    No, just another thread to allow the hysterics to continue.

    Having said that, yesterday we watched a bit of the third quarter, and we analysed it," Hawkins told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday.

    So they didn't sit down and review the game in full.

    Most likely they were watching it in a context of a game plan scenario:

    Richmond have kicked x amount of goals in a row, what can we do to stop it?
    Or
    Richmond's forward pressure has been immense, how do we retain possession to counter that?

    I think the most important thing to remember with reviewing any one game is it takes no more than 2-3 hours to review a game right? And preseason training goes for the best part of 6 months. It's unlikely to provide motivation for a whole preseason. And whilst there might be some important lessons - which coaches really should know before breaking the tape down with the players - one game won't provide as many as the whole season.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
