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.

I'm done. 

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: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
