Yeah we’re in massive trouble. Gawn literally stood and watched a player run past him then.

And people think he is a leader.

Viney at least seems to give a [censored]. What is a Max doing to change the game? SFA. He is a faux captain.

    Goody should use the second half to write a resume.

    Our season might over in a hour or so, and so should be his coaching career if this continues.

    Gonna need a Lazarus-like comback to win this from here.

    44 plays 16 and we dont look like it. Against the 16th placed team.

    Un-[censored]-forgivable

    this is one of the most disgusting performances these players have served up. Worse than Port Adelaide debacle. We would be even more embarrassed in a final

    Smith Macdonald Tomlinson say no more and people rate this team. Delusional

    add Jones & Wagner to that.

    And the other 17 out there today

    Yuck.

    This is why teams need to be all go from the first bounce. Give a side a sniff and they will take it, regardless of where they sit on the ladder. Just [censored] lazy football.

    I love it that we come out and repeatedly said that the short breaks are no big deal and that we are prepared for it.

    Well... Based on the evidence we are the worst prepared club at dealing with them.

    What a disgraceful first half, let alone 2nd qtr.

    No moves from the coaches box.

    How OMac retained his spot was ridiculous

    Jones is finished

    Hope we don’t make finals. We’ll be humiliated. Plus it’ll ensure Goodwin gets another year. I don’t want that, thank you.

    And yet people want to keep supporting the witches hat in the box. 

    He has lost me now completely. Didn’t come to play, whose fault. Poor selection again, whose fault. Bennell can’t get in this side because we are just so good. No skill, no pace, no heart. Pathetic.

    HAHAHA ???

    The Fritsch handball.

    The Petracca kick.

    The Smith handball.

    The unaccountability.

    Is this team for real?  This is so embarrassing to watch.  

    There's only one team in the AFL that can build you up and let you down so religiously.  Don't even bother with finals pls.  We'll be embarrassed....again.

    Wow.  Putrid/. No skills, no effort, no tackles, no nuthin!  If we dont change something at half time, this is looking like the Port game


    The Simon Goodwin era has to end, if he can't instill a ruthless attitude to this team that allows them to back up week after week, time to find someone who can. 

    his selections have cost us at least 4 games this year, this effort is not AFL standard. Casey would be more competitive than this. 

    Season over, time for heads to roll, full external review. i've been off Goodwin for a while now, but this is beyond a joke. 

    we're only every going to be mediocre under Simon Goodwin

    I rarely venture onto the GAMEDAY threads during the live action but how can I not with that [censored] [censored]?

    Nathan Jones, go have a shower son. You’re done. Forever. Oscar McDonald, you are a joke. 

    Finals gone on the back of being towelled up by 16th placed side and Justin McInerny, FFS you can’t write this [censored]. Wait we can. 2016 and Dylan Buckley. My goodness. What a club.

    Goody should hand in his resignation and not come out after half time.

    He can take the likes of Smith, OMAC, TMAC, Harmes and Jones with him.

    OKAY, I'VE TRIED TO BE NICE BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. NO STRONG TACKLING, DROPPING MARKS ETC ETC, NO DESIRE. 

    PLAYING SMITH HAS DISRUPTED THE BACKLINE. THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER. IF THE PLAYER IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH THEY DON'T PLAY. NO MORE CHARITY PICKS.

    OUTSMARTED BY A SMART SIDE. SYDNEY ARE SMART AND WANT TO WIN NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE ON THE LADDER.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
