GAMEDAY: Community Series vs Carlton

Not having another mid sized marking forward on the list is an oversight. 
 

Not counting the super collectors in Melk and Brown 

 

We look very casual so far, reckon we'll play 1-2 hard quarters for the night and that will do it.

    Hey! Settle down! It’s 1/4 time in a PRACTICE match! 
    Carlton have much to prove. We have zero.

    Am I watching the same game as you blokes we had almost double the inside 50s and got unlucky a few times they aren’t even close to on top. 

    Except on the score board but that doesn’t really count in the wash up.

    agree but we are getting well beaten in the forward half and not allowing time for our defence to set up.

    Goal or slow it down that is what is forward line play.

    Last week we barely kicked a goal from broken forward line play

    If the new interpretations are anything to go by scrap them. The umpires have killed us.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The team must have missed all the AFL memos this week about the focus on time wasting, umpire abuse etc!

    Blues look fit, some structure and good at the fall of the ball.

    Good challenge to get us up for rnd 1 with a lot out of our the backline. 


    Que Goodwin thread....

    So far, a very ordinary performance. I can accept we can be out played on occasions. What l can’t accept is ill discipline and just plain stupidity.  We were out played in that quarter, but gave away two goals through unbelievable idiocy, from Viney and then HARMES. That is just unacceptable. 

    The other question l would ask is what happened to our legendary pressure. Almost non existent. I suspect a GF hangover, but l fear complacency. 
     

    they all should be getting a giant rocket from goody after that!

    Clayton unbelievably lazy and disinterested. 

    He can play footy. I don’t need him to prove it in a meaningless game and get injured.

    We look pretty sloppy and slow...

    The 2nd string backline is not passing the audition at this stage I'm afraid…

    4 x 50m penalties as we slip to 29 points behind.
    How much of a lead are we giving them?

    Backline is a hot mess. No surprise. 

    I see this as a really useful hitout for selectors  and 2nd string defence to see who puts their hand up for limited opportunities in 2022 in the dees defence.

    Apart from that just get the cue in the rack for key players early as possible.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
