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

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

Ā 

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...Ā 

Ā 

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 membershipĀ aren't the ones thatĀ  blindly renewĀ every October.Ā 

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

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).Ā 

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. Ā 

Ā 

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

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.Ā 


[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!Ā 

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.Ā 

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!

LockhartĀ should have been picked, at least he stays down!Ā 

black and white subtitles GIFYes. Kick the stupid ball.Ā 

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 MelbourneĀ 

Ā 

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

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time atĀ Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
