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. 

    gutted

    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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
