I feel like I’m watching a 2nd division VFA game. Our season looks to be over. 

Lol this is Southern Footy League 3s, reserves... 

 

Goodwin at HT said we needed to be brave with the ball, not boring.

Either he didn't tell the players that, or they just were unwilling or incapable of trying it.

We didn't appear to even try to move the ball anywhere other than down the wing.

Just before the second Walters goal, Gawn took consecutive intercept marks. Both times, the only place he properly looked was the wing. Both times, he kicked to Pickett.

Our ball movement plan tonight has been appalling, absolutely appalling.

    Yeah they are harder at it than us. We like to think we are good at the contest but they look significantly better than us.

    Gawn having a shocker. Needed skipper to stand up when it counts.

    Those goal square goals are nothing but a lack of desperation to not conceed... 

     

    Just really really poor skills, not teaming well at all.

    We look like a club under pressure and lacking confidence and have actually gone backwards.

    Is it coaching or the players?

    It looks like the players lacking composure to me.

    This club can seriously go and get [censored]. All the promise in the world but fail miserably once again.

    I'm done with Goodwin. He can [censored] right off.

    I’m with you Dazzle, they are absolutely unwatchable. Why the (censored) do we support them?


    I hope those claiming they won't renew their membership aren't the ones that  blindly renew every October. 

    Bloody remember these moments, and start to hold this god damn club accountable for a change. 

    We are a combination of not very good, looking tired and a set of players that don’t appear to understand the game plan (if there is one). 

    We have some high quality players in Gawn, Trac, Oliver, May and Langdon but our next layer is a combo of developing, declining or not quite good enough.

    This is not a side deserving of a finals spot.

    Things will not change if we are not prepared to address our kicking deficiency. Cannot hit a simple target 30m in front.  Lots of players are a waste of space. 

    At least the season is finally over so I can stop having my day ruined by this team

    i didn’t mind losing when our team was putrid but it’s hard to take now. 


    [censored] Cairns. When is Richmond playing there? Oh wait, they never have to play these sort of games.

    Goodwin just now: we were "boring" (his word) with the football and need to get courageous, and we need to defend to the required level.

    Let's see whether we've done anything to work on those two things.

    Zero for 2

    Embarrassing performance. Twice in the third quarter Maxie took an uncontested mark in the backline and twice the ball came straight back after he disposed of it with first a kick and then a handball.

    If we have no plan or strategy to clear the ball from the backline then what hope do we have to plan and kick goals. Oh , I forgot, we have kicked just two in three quarters.

    Time to watch current affairs or documentaries because they are more exciting and interesting than watching Goody's dees.

    To Pickett?! It was just bizarre! 

    As much as I don’t rate Goodwin how have we recruited so many sub standard players


    I thought it hurt to be shown up by the Swans, but to be chasing the Dockers around like headless chooks? Its a special kind of hell. Reserved for only the worst. 

    Think back friends, what did you do to deserve this? We must have done something, because there's no other reason for this.

    See you all in 2021

    But not all of us, a lot fewer will be signing up and a lot less will be sponsors

    Unfortunately being thoroughly out coached again!

    chaotic team selection!

    Lockhart should have been picked, at least he stays down! 

    black and white subtitles GIFYes. Kick the stupid ball.

    We’re ready for another rebuild. Midfield needs a complete overhaul. Forward line needs a complete overhaul. Coach needs to change. Enough of this [censored]!


    If only AFL games were awarded to the team with the most missed one handed tackles...we would be undefeated and headed for a flag

    Yeah I'd say that's it. This club is not changing, this little setup has run it's course. The time, emotion and copious amounts of money invested is seriously adding up to di*k all. Get wrecked Melbourne 

     

    Why have we recruited so many players who cannot execute skills in the wet compared to other teams.  Petracca, Oliver and May, the only exceptions.  
    I thought last week was the worst performance of the year but tonight is looking good to usurp it.

    • 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.
