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

Ask Saty.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
