Travelling to Cairns all got too hard so the boys decided to [censored] the season away....disgusting but that’s what we do...

 

Absolutely pathetic, it was their for them and they couldnt perform against a substandard freo side. 

I've never been more mentally broken in my life. 

I cant see how Goodwin survives, how many members would want him to stay now?

I didn’t even bother watching, I’m the real winner here.

I put money on Freo.

Sadly I watched until nearly 3/4 time though.

It's rainy. It's windy. Ball is a bar of soap. And we try to finesse it with slick handball and threading the needle in traffic

Handpass to your teammate 1m away. He handpasses to a teammate 1m away. More demons pile in to help. Meanwhile Freo set up outside for the turnover

Laughable how many times they had men in space, while we always seemed to have about 8 players crowded around the ball. The more things change ...

Two back to back failures. Goodwin just can’t get the team going nor organised 

 

Oliver and Trac seemed to be having a go at each other near the end of the 3rd.......not a good look


Didn't think I could feel worse than last week.

Then we serve up that slop.

I've been putting it off for a while now, but that has to be the end of Goodwin's senior coaching career.  If it doesn't happen right now, then it happens at the end of the season.  I know there are financial implications involved, but I was embarrassed tonight.  We stunk it up again from the moment we got going and we never looked in it.  We hung around like last night's pizza for most of the night, but I didn't feel as though were ever going to win it.

Our forward line is a mess.  Weid is constantly battling two or three.  I can't understand why the [censored] we picked Preuss, in these conditions, to play as a forward all night.  Outside of one tackle he did nothing.  Our small forwards were Bedford and Pickett, two kids who are still raw and learning the game, and ANB, who does ANB things and really shouldn't be playing football.  Fritsch, while he can be soft, gets a pass mark from me as at least he gets to the right spots and does things with ball in hand.

Our midfield was running on empty and we lacked rotations in there.  I have to commend Trac, Oliver and Viney as they never stopped trying, but they were outmatched.

And lets not forget that we had too many passengers - Smith, Pickett, Bedford, Baker, Hunt (okay, he did two good things, but that was it), Hibberd.  There are probably more, but we need everyone contributing to win games of footy and it just doesn't happen.

Positives - I really like Trent Rivers.  Great drafting there.  Mids did okay.  Langdon has a dip.  Tomlinson did really well in defence.  That's really about it.

Hurting big time tonight.  Hopefully the club has the courage to make some big decisions in the coming months.

Another e-hug to all of you out there.

Sure we lost. But that must mean Goodwin is done surely.

If that is the case, I declare that this season has been a success. Gotten rid of the imposter

How the hell are we supposed to afford to pay him out 2 years of remaining contract in these covid impacted times? We're stuck with him I'd say for at least 2021.

Yes, our game plan doesn’t stack up and yes we only have a handful of decent players.

But we we were pretty unlucky to play in those horrid conditions two weeks in a row.

As low as it gets.

The final five minutes shows two things: we weren't doing what we should have been doing for 3.5 quarters, and we had energy in the tank. For that sort of ball movement and effort to only show up right at the end says a lot to me.

There are serious problems within our club. I fear that sacking Goodwin may be the only way to fix them.

2020- proudly sponsored by Covid and MFC. Two disasters. One year. 

At least, unlike COVID, Melbourne is categorically finished now.

I won’t be renewing until he is gone. Will put my membership on auto renew if he goes though.

I understand the need to make changes to keep the team fresh. But we made very few against Saints then Swans. Looked absolutely shattered and then made 7 changes and brought in a whole host of NQRs because how else do you change a third of your side? 
The selections ahead of these short breaks and the management of players has been truly terrible. 
I won’t start on the game plan coz I feel like a broken record. 


Whoever is in charge of this [censored] club, stand up and make some bloody changes.

Red flag should have been raised the moment Josh Mahoney was given the role of doing internal reviews.

Our playing list is ridiculously overrated. Oliver, Viney do nothing but run around like headless chooks and crash into each other.

Rivers, Langdon, Vandenberg the only ones who just wanted it more tonight.

New coach required 

Just not Ross Lyon

Listening to him on the radio talking about Melbourne yesterday and he should not come anywhere near us. Talking about the all Australian defender Tom McDonald and thinks he should be playing there. 

Out coached and out played.
Extremely disappointing but embarrassingly predictable.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
