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

Our lack of football intelligence has to start with the coach. Goodwin has no idea. There is no system, no skills and the forward line was selected to fail. Disgraceful

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.

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. Tanking already!

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!

Can already predict the post match interview from Goodwin. 

It's our connection with the forward line - if we get that right WATCH OUT

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

We always allow the unfit teams to get form when playing against us. Sick seeing this time and time again.

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.

No idea how to create scoring opportunities. Everything is so bloody hard for us. The hallmark of the Goodwin era.

The clear headshot on Fritta right on the siren and seems as if NO ONE went after the Richmond player who did it. smh.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
