For the love of god what is the coaches job if not to ensure we can play under pressure? Or use the footy? Or have a forward to kick to? 
What is Goodwins job mate?

Fair suck of the sav. At training we rarely miss a target.

Yes I know it is pretty well known that in an AFL game there is usually a fair bit of pressure but hey let's get training right first.

The key thing is that there is lots of learnings. That our players could expect pressure in a game of footy is one of those learnings.

Lots to like but ... execution, execution, execution.

(And that's being kind. We should change our colours to blue and white stripes there are so many butchers in the team.)

Lots to like???

you’re  obviously  easily pleased

Well the players aren’t responsible for not selecting another key forward, to give us at least a chance of taking a contested mark inside 50. That is a joke. 

It is pointless if we take the wrong option constantly, we have players who can work one on one, if the ball is delivered quickly and properly

It seems to me that players are afraid to take responsibility, it is up to Gawn and Viney to drive this

It beggars belief that players are coached to make fundamental errors

The easy beats of the AFL.  Goodwin on a knifes edge.  It’s all been said before a million times, laughing stock of the AFL.!!  Nobody is capable of changing this club.  They can all drift off in the hub I don’t give a rats anymore.

We have not changed the way we play  football in two seasons now.

Still can’t find a way home And constantly butcher the ball and make poor decisions, nothing has changed.

Nothing to do with being emotive , we are simply a poor football team and have done nothing to prove otherwise.

True mate, it’s Richmond forcing Viney to handball to Harmes or Oliver to Gawn or Kozzie to the boundary line etc etc etc

Only rubbish here is that post you did. 

Agree. Our use of the ball is the AFL’s worst. There is no system or game plan.  
That is not emotive rubbish, it is fact.

I want TMac back, May forward, Max in the goal square and Tomlinson to ruck. Gotta try something!

Now I understand the game plan! Get the ball, look for an opposition player on his own in the middle of nowhere and kick it directly to him.

That is not the game plan, can't we lay the blame at the players for a change or is that too hard

Oliver’s disposal hasn’t always been great, but sometimes it has and  he’s at least getting a lot of the ball. 
 

our problem is, we only have one big sized forward – McDonald – and he is out of form. They need to start playing a second tall forward!!

No.!   Our problem is the midfield use of the ball,  Oliver s crucifying his teammates with irresponsible use.

He starts the panic ball rolling, once he dishes it off.

I don’t normally get emotive on Demonland, but I really don’t know why any of us bother with these guys anymore. Melbourne Demons have to be one of the worst teams to follow in any professional sport around the world.


Teams are laughing at us mid game... mid game. Let that sink in.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
