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.

Pert Bartlett and Mahoney should drive together to sydney. 

They should drive the buses make these blokes soul search on an overnight bus trip to Sydney 

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.

Don’t feed the troll.

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
