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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
