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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
