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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • 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?

      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.

      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.
