Anyone got a positive?

I think I'm going to get some long overdue sympathetic action from the missus tonight. I hope I go better than my team.

    This might be the loss that finally nails Goodys coffin

    You would pharking hope so.

    How much can a supporter base take.

    Are there any clauses in the final 2 years of Goody's contract?

    They couldn't be that dumb could they?

    Media can smell blood in the water. Just put up a graphic of Goodwin’s record since the 2018 prelim during his presser. 12 wins. 25 losses.

    Rivers should return to WA as soon as he can. Don’t waste your career at the rabble kid. 

    Look for the Power Clubs to come calling on more players  than Rivers after this season. petracca for one. The dream is over.

    List quality is different.. not maximising list quality is career suicide 

    Depends where you think the list quality is at I guess!

    We can agree to disagree. My estimate pre-season was that we'd finish between 6th - 12th (and I think most judges thought that).

    Why does, whoever the opposing team is, clear the ball from our F50 so easily,  then spread to our unmanned wing delivering it into their f50 with a series of uncontested marks. The Dees conversely struggle to clear if from our d50, kicking it to a contest on the congested wing usually losing possession. If we win the ball, we expend maximum energy doing so. 
    Just seems an obvious flawed strategy. Can someone explain please?

    Couch discussion was so good, and like him or not Lyon nailed everything about the club and the side. 

     

    I wasn’t watching but I’m just laughing about the fact that people were upset that Lyon wasn’t more positive after we beat North Melbourne I think it was a few weeks ago.

    Goodwin has lost me. Bartlett must act now. We can't have another year or 2 of these gutless, heartless performance. Outcoached two weeks in a row when our season was on the line. [censored]

    Did they not look at a forecast before playing Preuss?

    The players can take some blame too. Mentally fragile.

    I'm sick of Goody mentioning the 'tough conditions' - they're the SAME BLOODY conditions that Freo played in!

    14 Melbourne players with 7 or less kicks

    206 to 98 uncontested possessions to Freo

    74 to 32 marks to freo

     

    Embarrassing, inept, disgusting, putrid

     

    Goodwin's last game

    Agree with almost every criticism here but I have one more to add. We have one of the best taggers in the comp James Harmes, who has wasted away at half back every game without tagging once this year. The week he comes out injured we decide that tagging is actually a viable tactic, and throw a ball using half forward onto one of the biggest and best contested mids in the game. Fyfe 22 touches and 7 clearances. Melksham 9 touches and 2 clearances. Beyond a joke at this point.

    If you go to the third quarter with about 4.30 left on the clock, you can watch Melksham tag his own team mate by grabbing AVBs guernsey as he's trying to bust clear of a pack at half forward.

    Melksham has been woeful this year but never gets dropped.

    Truth Doesn't fit the narrative sometimes.

    This presser is giving us absolutely nothing information wise. Platitudes like we need to be ruthless. We need to play better footy. We need to get better at all phases of the game. What an utter waste of time. Treat the supporters with respect.

    Goody

    Freo were better than us

    have to rely on other results - wtf

    we need to get more ruthless - sack himself

    where in it together

    good we have experience of nearly being in finals

    where not quite there - please

    we were boring but intensity ramped up after half time

    disappointing - understatement

    two game to go simple be better

    focus on what we can control

    prepare as best we can. Bingo where going to work incredibly hard

    Lyon cut him asunder about being ruthless. Stop talking DO

    Lyon no answers well done Gary

    Why the [censored] risk Jackson?? Put him in cotton wool for [censored] sake

    Goodwin coaching to save himself it's the reason he swung the axe and brought in guys like Baker and Bedford. His press conference was all about deflection talking about the broader club. He must know he's on his last legs.

    I have to say that I’ve always thought Lyon is constantly negative, but he has been proven right. Unfortunately 2018 was the aberration - we are nowhere near it - and, as he says, not playing as a team.

    Nothing like winning your old clubs first flag since 1964 to get the appetite going...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
