Self-loathing?

... Yeah, that's when you're in the last couple of days in the world as you know it, and still subject yourself to this torture. I deserve no better. I'm going to watch this until the end, and then count the sheets on my few remaining toilet rolls.

Recycling is probably more the order of the day from here RBM

How can anyone defend this gameplan.

We have seven more inside 50's and we're almost 6 goals down

    Oliver and Bradshaw can only run one way, Lockhart, viney and Pickett the rest are just woeful.

    Push May forward and Tmac back.

    May has done nothing wrong, and Tmac has done nothing

    How much football do we have to watch where we get beaten the EXACT same way?

    Winning the inside 50’s but bombing the ball to no one. It’s been the same for 20+ games. 

    The game plan stinks.

    we are currently in 16th position on the live ladder We have moved up 1 position :) 

    I guess thats positive? come 2036, at this rate, we will win a premiship

    F— off Spargo. 

    Cannot play Spargo and Bedford in the same side. We are too small otherwise, Spargo has lost it or never had it and Bedford has a long way to go.. Jones and Salem both missed. for setups and grunt.

    If we are bombing it into our fwd line, why are our forwards always leading to the ball?

    We are on par with Gold Coast hands down.

    Langdon has actually been decent, his basic accumulation disposals (short kicks, handballs) have mostly been good but it’s the penetrating danger kicks that have let him (and us down). 

    Petracca has flashed in and out, similar to previous seasons. I think he needs to be pushing forward more though. 

    Gawn’s been well beaten by NikNat. 

    Brayshaw extremely disappointing. Needed to nail at least one of his kicks on goal.

    Figuring this out just now loges?

    Was prepared to give benefit of the doubt until this year, there were other issues last year but all the structural issues haven't been addressed. I'm not one who likes to bag the club ad nauseam

    CB we are only a few hours into the lock down and your already feeling a tad NQR i see! (Ss*)

    No way, this game is making me feel great!

    2 more months to work on our shortcomings, because we obviously haven’t addressed them in the previous 6 months.

    If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. 
    Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. 
    We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

    Goodwin should be telling the players this is your last hit out for ten weeks, how do you want do go into this period?

    This isn't just the cattle. Structurally we are awful. Goodwin is a 90s footballer with a 90s gameplan. We peaked during a patch in 2018. He's lucky the season is postponed. Regardless of the season outcome he'll probably coach in 2021. But we see the same issues.

    I agree. I have watched every game and our skills are hopeless.  Our transition is nowhere.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
