POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs Collingwood

Featured Replies

 

Take a bow Simon Goodwin. Pandering to Luke  Jackson by playing him as first ruck. He is not a first ruck and Max is not  a forward. Cost us 3 easy goals tonight and the game.

Premiership is firmly on Collingwood's sights now. Top 2 very much on the agenda, pretend all you want. This is happening

Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

[censored] that [censored].

They definitely got all the 50/50 calls in the last but it's the FORWARD LINE folks.

Is Joel Smith the saviour?


Furious, absolutely furious with that loss. We have too much class to be kicking and handballing like that. 

Atrocious games from Kozzie, ANB, Spargo, Hibberd, and Jackson. Kozzie in particular fumbled, ran over the ball, flew when he should have stayed down and played an all round shocker. 

The old Dees habit of handballing under pressure to a team mate who is under more pressure. That one from Hibberd to Viney in the Pies forward line - unforgiveable. It happened all night.

We canNOT keep kicking our forward 50 entries into the pocket. EVERY time, even when we have short options. 

My rage hasn't settled yet. Really grumpy right now. 

One trick pony got the job done.

We knew exactly what they’d try to do and we let them do it. We’re a defensive team who can’t win a shootout, yet we let the game unfold that way anyway.

This was a supremely disappointing effort from the coaching group. They’ve got work to do now as top two is likely gone. 

[censored] what a let down.

Petracca picks and chooses when he wants to show up, 2nd worse game I've seen him play behind the Freo loss. Gawn terrible, ANB an absolute momentum killer, Koz anonymous, the entire back seven were terrible tonight. Definitely not going back to back this year.

 

Three goals in a half of footy isn't going to win you much.

If we could fix our forward half game we’d be unstoppable!

Just so much wasted effort for such a poor return. 
 

Work it out Footy Department!!


That farken hurts.

 

Don't blame the umpires.  We didn't take our chances and they did and we were outplayed.  

Losing to this mob is always the bitterest pill to swallow.  Goodnight all.

Thought their man Darcy fill back won his position easily and he was the difference in the end

Shame on coaches.  They can’t and have not learnt after weeks of seeing pies how to close them down.  Our mob can’t kick straight to save themselves.


A fit Joel Smith would have been very handy over Hibberd tonight. And I suspect he's (Smith) moving on at year's end. That's a gap to fill.

That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

If Max kicks straight we win and he's probably BOG

Should have been six in front at half time

Hard for Demons to get a free second half

Pies probably got 6 or 7 goals from frees

the last to Johnson unbelievably soft


Cox is a dog 

Ginivan a [censored] 

Their supporters are the worst 

Kozzy, why did you have to kill the momentum?

What happened to our mid field in the 2nd half?

We are missing Tom Mac. Equally, it's the way that the ball is coming in.

Watching Ben Brown, it was nice to reminisce and think of Iron Hands Dawes.

We have so many problems going forward at the moment. We really should give JVR a go. We're not going to win a flag at the moment unless we change our forward structure and our crappy F50 kick into the pocket entries.

It was the Dogs game all over again.

I chucked money on the pies at half time at $5.40. it feels very ordinary collecting.

 

Would love to know where our contest and defence were tonight, coz they weren’t at the G.

Meanwhile Goody is on the bench wondering why our broken system isn’t working. Do something about it.

 

I still miss Burgess.

  • 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 at 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.
