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.

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.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
