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.

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: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
