GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Richmond

[spirit of norm smith 16,476]

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 

 

[Lord Travis 10,742]

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!

[Bates Mate 4,487]

Pickett is very average today, some half hearted chase down attempts

[Hogan2014 390]

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

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

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

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

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

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. 

[Youngwilliam 381]

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.

this team would have the iq of a filth supporter's false teeth

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.

[buck_nekkid 5,878]

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 

[robbiefrom13 887]

what will it take?

[DeeZee 7,414]

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 ?

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,704]

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

Dont stress.

[dee-tox 4,835]

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!

[Kiss of Death 755]

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

 

not much different 

[Adam The God 30,271]

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

[layzie 33,854]

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

[Redleg 40,948]

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.
