Even Freo or Adelaide would’ve bested Geelong today.

We are pathetic 

coach is gone if he doesn’t turn this joke of a side around

It was clear we sucked when our b team got point aways from beating our a team. 

That has no relevance whatsoever, they swapped the players around in the scratch match

What a bunch of brain dead footballers

Every Geelong goal that quarter was a gift from our useless team. Basic stuff like having a player on the goal line.

Simpleton Goodwin can't teach these guys how to do normal things that the players should learn in primary school

It's infuriating following this team

 

And Geelong are useless

 

 

 

 

Goodwin has to go. He is giving the side no hope playing this ‘brand’ of football. Our best football looks great, but he is actively playing guys out of form. It’s pathetic. The club needs to have some balls and dismiss him before he does a neeld on the entire list

We will go nowhere with this coaching group. 
 

Oliver has gone backwards so fast he will soon end up being worthless to us. His ability to hit a target in a good position is non existent.

Our mids don’t put much pressure on, our forwards do not chase other than picket. 
 

North are loving this.

Why do we always look less disciplined and unorganised than every other team? Simple things like killing the ball in the backline or being aware of the players in the area you are protecting. We look lost, confused, lacking in confidence and have a horrible inability to use our instincts.

 

somehow we make every kick in an impossible equation while letting every kick in against us a gift.

 

i have to think it’s in the way we train. Players look stunned on game day. Some of these guys once had instinct and used it. Are they being over coached or poorly coached? It’s horrible to watch

We've just got to change the coach.  Players careers will be over before they know it, without any inspiration or leadership to get them through it with any sustained success.  

We can't let this go on, it's the way we're playing that's just devoid of any spirit or confidence.

We would be creaming this match if we had any viable forward targets. Hunt doing his best, but seldom able to finish. TMac clomping about, not taking marks a better player would and Fritsch, disappointingly not proving to be the surprise package we hoped for. Until we have a genuine class forward, this will always be the story. 

 

Enough good guy routine. Goodwin needs to give the boys a spray and get them fired up. Our mids are not working anywhere near hard enough. Looking at you Viney and Oliver.

We are the worst coached team in the league over the past 18 months.

This is [censored] awful.

I have held out for a while but we have no coach. This is garbage. 
They are one down and beating us and we have kicked 3 goals in 3/4. 
Picked a team of flankers and most have hardly touched it. 
Worst skills of any team in the AFL by a mile. Can’t handball to advantage and can’t kick the footy to a team mate. No game plan or system at all.

I think he may already have done it

What a pitiful effort, don’t have anyone on the goal line and let a goal through, leave Geelong players unmarked for two others. This is not the coaches fault it’s the players out there not thinking about manning up., not marking, not being able to kick straight. Our disposal efficiency is consistently worse than our opponents, as is our forward entries.

Viney adds nothing. Plods around like Jones picking up cheap handballs and doing no damage.

We telegraph we are going to play fast with our selection.

What does Scott do? Simply tell his team to play super slow ball knowing we have a a few players who don't run hard enough to cover. 

 


The scary thing is we pretty much have a full list to choose from at the moment. This is as good as it gets.

We are so focussed on defending that we have forgotten how to try and score. We have given our guaranteed 3 own goals per game so hope that is all. Ned the first and to actually play with some run and dare.  

The board will sell this as a re-build (we’re tons younger and inexperienced than Geelong ) as they can’t possibly sack Goodwin given the financial plight.

hang in there DLS. I have a gut feeling the Dees will come back.

 


Put Daisy Pearce in the box.

Can Alan Richardson please step up ASAP.

Great call. If Goodwin is struggling who the [censored] is supporting or feeding him his ideas. Cause I haven’t seen anything. 

 

Dees by 11.

 

 

 

That farce in our forward line early summed so much up.

A certain goal stuffed up about three times before it was cleared by Geelong.

Oliver got possession, running towards goal and turned and ran away from goals and lost it.

He continually sends the ball backwards rather than forwards when clearing.

He also walked off Guthrie at one stage and let him grab a second possession and set up a goal.

  • 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.
