Can anyone explain to me what Jack Viney exactly adds to our side. Said many of times that he's such a disruption to our midfield set up. 6 disposal in a half of football.

 

He set the tone early in the first term... and by set the tone, I mean going after balls that he didn't need to and thus stuffing it up.  A few times someone like Oliver was set to win the footy and he would come barging through and stuff it up.

I like Jack, but that's unacceptable.  He needs to stop being so selfish.

Ohhhhh no. You can’t just pin this on the players. This is Goodwin’s 4th year as coach. His list, his team, his structures. 

It doesn’t work, and he has to wear the blame.

BANG ! CORRECT!

Just got home from work and saw the score

I shouldn't bother watching this, right? 

 

Couldn't play much worse.

Interesting that with Hibberd out, back line is all over the place. Could have been the same with him out there of course. Really miss an in-form Jetta or small defender.

Not sure that the players who have been brought in are adding much: Harmes, ANB, Smith. Our list is just not as good as many are making out, after the first dozen or so quality really drops away. Time for a real clean-out?

Man... Accidentally logged into the AFL app. Haven't seen any of this..might just stay at work a few hours longer. Classic Melbourne absolutely perfect [censored] weak

No doubt Goodwin has to cop responsibility for us being flat from the first bounce for the 10293th time in his coaching career.

But we cannot absolve the players. Half-hearted tackles, no defensive running, hollywood handballs, dropped marks, missed kicks, laziness. They have to pull their fingers out too.

Please don’t get me wrong. Our players are pea hearted headless chickens today. Absolute rubbish from them. I can’t even start with how bad some of them are at football. Basic skills evade them. 

But 4 years in and Goodwin is still making bad selection decisions, poor match day moves and he still struggles to have us stem the flow when things go against us  

And I’m disappointed with Gawn. Captain needs to stand up. Talk and lead with your voice  

 

That was appalling, i'm shocked.

I'll check the scores post game to see how much we lost by. 

Off the the virtual Chalet for some cheese platters for me

 

Just popped in to see the carnage and I agree with absolutely everything that has been said 


Goody should have just apologised in that interview.

I’ve been a defender of Oscars for a while at times but I can’t defend him now. Spud. He shouldn’t be playing anyway, I didn’t understand the decision to keep him in the team. 

 

Totally lost any belief here since last year v crows  in Darwin. Tex Walker absolutely rheemed  him. Worst performance from a defensive key defender since Paul Rowland v Peter Hudson. 

Just checked the scores.  
Never ever been so happy that I don’t have Foxtel.

Go [censored] your self stupid troll. You obviously havnt been watching to not see how many goals Lever has given away this year and Wagner has always been Bog ordinary and always will. Won’t win a premiership with him in the side so give it a rest

I've been watching. Every game.

You would know that if you showed up after a win. But you don't.

Lever's 6th in the Demonland POTY votes by the way, so I'm clearly not the only one.

And Wagner played well last week. Deserved his game this week.

Where are the leaders to stand up? Max trying hard but could you please try tapping the ball to one of our guys, you never know, we might get a clearance! Tracc running around but not impacting the game, Oliver and Brayshaw trying I suppose, Jones is having a mare and if we do get possessions we just bomb it in and it comes straight back out. We were doing this early in the season so I thought we had learnt something but no it’s back to dumb play 


Like Goodwin just said "They have a choice to make"

Lets see how badly we want this.

MFC syndrome says no.

SG: ‘you’ve got a choice’

 

No you have a contract to motivate, instruct and demand standards. You need to [censored] lift

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
