Not the kids fault but why bring him in to play midfield when gus and harmes are already starving for them and playing out of position

Agree to an extent. but we never should have drafted him. But it is his fault when he handballs backwards 20 meters out from goal for no reason and misses the target, which he has done multiple times in the game.

 

Abysmal.

Absolutely abysmal.

It's the Richmond game, and everything that is wrong with our club, on repeat.

The turnovers are just soul destroying. Sparrow, Harmes, Salem, almost every single one of their touches is missing its target. We cannot compete with anyone, let alone Port, if we keep turning it over.

The forward line pressure is non-existent. 

The midfield got belted on the outside in the first quarter and then got beaten on the inside in the second quarter (-4 CPs that quarter).

The backline is trying to hold them out but they are getting so many looks at inside 50s under no pressure that it's impossible to defend.

We will lose this by at least 10 goals if we don't seriously lift in the middle and start hitting some [censored] targets.

    Fritsch, Salem, Oliver, Viney, McDonald, Harmes.

    Most overrated bunch of peanuts on our list.

    I’d remove Viney from that list the others I totally agree with.

    Nathan Jones encapsulates our club. Historic losers going to water under pressure . . . And accepting it. He can't play again. We have to move on. 

    We come off a couple of wins, looking sharp and confident. AvB breaks a cheek and of all the players to bring in facing the top 2 teams back to back.

    I predicted a 5 goal win. Nek minnit. Down by 5 goals at halftime.

    God what an embarrassing half of football.

    Im trying to think its the quick turnaround but its not. Its just us.

    Never should have picked Sparrow, should have always been Jordon.

    This is your [censored] test Goodwin.. make a change earn your money. We won't win but get us back in the fight. 

     

     

    Couldn’t agree more GCDee. 
     

    Get us out of this zone [censored] which is clearly not working and go man on man. 
     

    JUST DO SOMETHING FFS.

    Well said. What they dish up on and off the field is pure garbage and an absolute insult to fans and members. The club is a joke and goodwin has to go.


    Nope, we are not allowed to criticise Oliver. His kicking has been excellent and his hot potato handballs to the disadvantage of his team mates don't matter, cause it's still a stat and that's all that matters.

    I see Josh Mahoney in the coaches box and I wonder how he can keep his job. We are miles off being a professional team and he and Goodwin have had plenty of time to make us competitive.

    The list is not this bad. Something stinks.

    We have been absolutely shocking, but the umpires have shown us zero love. Tackles unrewarded, holding the man ignored, clear sliding in on legs given as high tackle, soft 50 penalty gifting them a goal (while Gawns gets ignored). I have to get that frustration out of the way.

    But we look flat as a tack, no one moving, when we get the ball in space we are slow to move it on. Our kicking efficiency must be about 30%, absolutely pathetic. Our overall disposal efficiency must be barely 50%, basic handballs are being missed, players slipping over. I just can't believe how bad we are playing.

    Lions was the game we needed to win to stay in the hunt, facing Port off a short break seems like too much.

    That’s terrifying. 9 years, 2 rebuilds and 3 coaches later and we’re still a bottom team getting spanked. Us Melbourne supporters must be the most loyal people on earth to put up with this much disappointment.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
