3rd qtr 

✅ Melksham goal

✅ some pressure on the footy 

- chances missed inside 50 ... need marking forward 

- letting tiger smalls run

? umps crucifying us with inconsistency 

? tigers just bully us and no response 

 

 

Not that it would make a difference, but the umpiring today has been ducking terrible. Haven’t noticed it be bad for a few weeks, but today has been poor. Frees incorrectly paid and not paid repeatedly. I wish I could repeatedly [censored] up at my job and have no repercussions!

 

The misery continues people & can see another list of players in another decade achieving zero.. our plan is flawed & only one person to blame 

Astounds me how far this team has fallen. We’ve played one good qtr for 2020.

    To put it simply we fold under pressure. It was evident in 2018. Only difference is we got found out in 2019 and now the joke is on us. Up the ante and we fold like a house of cards.. turnovers are a symptom of this. 

    Melbourne players are just plain dumb. I just think we don't have any football brains out there. These players need a smart coach at least and we are missing that too.

    You can practice and practice and practice, but it matters little on game day, not sure which bit you comedians don't get, it is the onfield leadership,  which is sadly lacking today

    why is lockhart matched up with riewoldt?!??

    what is going on??

    That's called "Gifting the opposition their most preferred match up" WW.

    It is also yet another signal (if we needed any more) that Goody hasn't got a clue.

    Not much to redeem this.  Risks are obvious and not coming off.  They simply don’t have the skills or intellect to deliver.

    I can't agree.  He is getting to contests that Oscar would never get near.  We need to see what he can become. 

    Reiwoldt only has 1 goal and isn't hurting us with his 9 posessions.

    We already know what Oscar is and he has reached his ceiling.

    This isn't the backline's fault.

    Oscar can defend one on one. For all his flaws he can defend. Joel Smith is running to contests because he’s losing his opponent in the pace of the game.

    We're 17th on the ladder

     

    Great Job Simon

    You should resign in shame 


    Basically it boils down to this.

    We have no forward line.

    Statistics  even show it is the worst in the league for the past two seasons.

    Question. [censored] is Goodwin’s win loss record since he was gifted a 3 year extension to his coaching contract ?

    Fellow Demonlanders, if i win the 80 million this thursday i will pay the clubs debt and pay Goodwin out.

    Dont stress.

    Guess GWS was happy for Tomlinson to go. Horrible footballer.

    TMac, May, Hibberd, AvB at least tried that quarter.

    [censored] off our coach is [censored] can't come up with a decent game style, can't develop talent, can't develop skills, can't develop leadership. EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH GOODWIN!

    Ads between the quarters showing deer running around on their own in headlights..

     

    not much different 

    BTW. Viney has been truly horrible in this game. Has he had an effective disposal?

    Some of these things happening can be put down to bad luck but we are creating A LOT of our own bad luck.

    We are handing North pick one. 
    Watch that kid win 3 Brownlows and be the greatest player of all time.

    I agree with most. But Smith has been caught in no man's land so many times. While the game plan is a nightmare for our defenders but Smith has been diabolical today in my opinion.

    I don't think Lever and Smith should play in the same team and Lever is so much better.

    Omac would free Lever up to play his preferred role. I dont think Omac is great but he's better than Smith.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
