Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

    None if the commentators rate Oliver do they?

    The same troll who said Neitz, Schwarz, Lyon wouldn’t make it in today’s game 

    Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

    Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

    Understatement.  We needed that 

    I'm not angry now.

    Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

    Our players just look completely shot.

    This is on you Goodwin.

    Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

    Yay another goal drought broken. Next week the training wheels come off!

    Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

    No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

    Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

    neither does 'chip it around'.

    I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

    All our entries are to the pockets every time, how can you expect to win a game of football like that.

     

    Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

    I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

    They surprised us with their intensity

    They didn't allow us to play our brand

    They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

    We had trouble connecting with our fwds

    Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

    Smith is starting to string some games together

    The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

    Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

    We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

    We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

     

    He won't say the last one but he should

    Exact.  This is spot on.

    The Coach will not change. I don’t think he has any idea how too

    He can’t stay in charge for much longer....

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
