Can't blame the coaches for everything. Players do have brains. Allegedly.

It’s the coaches job to get these players fired up. We are watching top 4 slip away and nobody cares. 
Get angry FFS!!!!

    So much for the midfield group stepping up to cover Clarry not being there. Hopeless.

    Our forward entries are putrid. Bomb it in or when we have a fast break into attack our forwards run back toward goal instead of up to the ball carrier

    Summary up to 3Qtr time 

    overhandballing 

    turnovers 

    losing clearances 

    bombs to inside 50

    goody outcoached again 

    missed tackles 

    missed opportunities Fritsch Spargo Kozzzy 

    Surely Spargo has to be dropped 

    WHAT CAN WE DO?

    Just need to be smarter going inside 50

    use the corridor 

    stick tackles 

     

    These guys still think it is 2021, selfish and soft football.

    They aren't going to win games burning so many opportunities and palying selfish football.

    Nothing short of pathetic. Of Goodwin's 6.5 seasons as coach we've put up with 4 seasons of just average football that gets beaten as soon as the pressure is brought around the ball. Freo are a ruckman down, their spuds are running rings around us. It is a common narrative against us.

    Voss v Goodwin next week is battle of No Game Plan From Planet B Coaches.

    Our clearance game is so rubbish. We need wholesale changes next week.

    JVR, Chandler; probably AnB all gotta go

    We have too many smalls in the forward line. One of Spargo, Chandler and ANB need to come out for a mid or tall forward.

    ANB for Melksham.

    Looking forward to the post game thread where people can tell us we don’t understand players roles.

    We overcomplicate this game.

    This score line is not the umpires fault.. we are playing negative & uninspiring footy. Our game plan is playing right into their hands. No dare. 

    And what gameplan is that?

    Pick 13 for Jackson... such good negotiators we are

    But last week Perth media hawking he's no action Jackson.

    Except of course we let him have his best game. So us of old.

    Forget winning a flag. We can't even win this one.

    The wheels have really just fallen off. 

    Tmac shouldn't play again and Grundy and gawn need to take a look at themselves. Lever and may too.

    Top 4 ? We have the hardest draw in the 2nd half. We are a chance to drop out of top 8 after the next 4 games as we have 0-4 written all over us.

    If players need someone to motivate them, they have an issue.

    I’d like to see Gawn hit it to a player in blue just once out of the middle, stand up skipper and be a match winner!

    We have problems everywhere Center clearances, defensive stoppages, ball movement, goal kicking.

    We aren't that quick either.

    Alarm bells are ringing in my head.

     

    If this is how our midfield operates without Oliver then we have a pretty long month ahead.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
