Is the post game thread open yet?

Why not just go to "is Goodwin the right guy?"

Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

 

 

You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate. 

How we start this quarter will be everything.

Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever.

wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

clutching at straws

How so? 

But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

Langdon the only bloke that's played the first three quarters 

Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

Many of us called him to be dropped.

Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

Fritta is awful 

Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • 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.
