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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
