Spargo can't kick & Hibbert just wants to bang it long & high. Nothing has changed from last season. Still a rabble.

Here's hoping he can drill one into Spargo's melon.

Might knock some sense into Charlie, and Hibbo would finally have hit a target!

    Just disappointing - but we are still in the game - so hoping for a better second half.

    we have a game plan that is a an absolute disaster. they get the ball and have free players all over the ground, they have heaps more uncontested possessions. chip it into their forward line and kick goals. When we get the ball they cover our players and win the ball back, spread away kick to free players. Oliver's example of how not to chase sums up many of these players attitude tonight. At times i have seen our players turn away from the eagle player with the ball to cover their own man instead of putting pressure on the man with the ball. our players are too far away from their man to put them under pressure even if they fumble.

    Viney and Pickett are the only two players that have turned up to play.

     

     

    Stop watching and go to Dan Murphy’s urgently. Apparently there is a run on booze ATM and beer sure to go the way of dunny paper.

    Very lazy. Saw a shot of Oliver casually jogging after an eagles player like we were 100 points up. 
     

    Players still don’t get it. FMD.

    The sooner Hibberd retires, the better off our backline will be. He never covers his man properly and his run and long bombs are more damaging to us than our opposition. He must be the least effective kick in the entire league. A big fall from his All Australian level a few years ago. Get Rivers in to replace him and be done with it.

    2020 over before it started, COVID19 or not!

    They’d actually be doing me a favour if they ran out.

    Well, that’s pretty much how we’re playing.

    That's not the game plan, that's the work rate. Or lack of.

    Yep, that one is not Goodwin's fault.

    However if he can't get them to play for him, then he is for more trouble and heat than he already is (or should be)

    I’ve been a fan of Hibberd for a long time but what is his kicking efficiency today? Awful, and poor decisions as well. 

    He’s not alone though, I’d like one of the tasks (call it homework) of the players to be to do some simple maths. Like, “what are the odds of player A winning the contest against 2/3 opponents?”

    Frittas going to have to get a lot better delivery if he’s going to take out Maxy’s Coleman prediction. 


    We will never win a premiership under Goodwin. I said.

    Jesus Brayshaw is a massive disappointment. 

    Id easily be happy if we used him as a trade option come end of year.

    Brayshaw has to do a lot to win me over. 
     

    slow, awful kick, doesn’t run hard defensively, doesn’t kick goals. 

    Lol right on que

    It would be nice if we kicked it to our own players when going inside 50. 

    It would be nice if we had player’s in the 50 to kick to who aren’t outnumbered!


    We obviously still haven’t fixed the issues about kicking into fwd50. Maybe we will have the whole year to work on that.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
