Harmes can leave for anybody.   That kick that he tried to intercept that was meant for van rooyen cost us the game

TBH, it wouldn’t have been a 15m kick or anything like

On another note, good to see Jackson trying again. Hadn’t seen that for a while. 

 

We have turned into the most selfish bunch of individuals around.
 

No connection between our lines, bugger all communication, linking of plays is non-existent, bomb it to a pack of forwards with no crumbers around because they’re all too high up the ground, and practically no blocking checking defensive work. Nobody is even taking the first option anymore, it’s dump kicks in and out of the 50 almost every time. 
 

Everybody is playing for theirselves, with very very few exclusions.  
 

Yes, we are getting some complete rubbish handed at us by the umpires - but stop ranting and sooking at them, Dees - focus on winning the next bloody contest!  If you kick a goal - stop running over to the boundary line and fist pumping at the supporters and just expecting our fellow Dees to run over and celebrate with you - high five each other and the bloke who got the ball to you in the first place! 

FMD what happened to our team football

Surely Goodwin has to play Brown next week. The forward line is pathetic.

Absolutely, tmac is done and jvr not ready too carry a forward line. We need forwards who lead up to the ball carrier not away from them


I feel stunned. To look at our team on paper we look so good. Somethings wrong and i think it has to be on the coaches heads. 

 

Disappointing effort we really need to fix our stoppages somehow…Goody so obsessed with the turnover game we don’t play any other way

First thing I did after the siren was to go to the Casey thread.  Sadly, no joy there either!  

watched most of the Casey game

Flashes from the usual suspects but no one starred.

The honeymoon period of the 2021 flag is finally coming to an end

It came to an abrupt end in the middle of 2022.

I’d suggest our ceiling is 5th/6th, a home MCG final, and a semi final exit.

Collingwood would’ve found a way to win the last two weeks if in our position.

After today I have a new respect for a large number of our supporters who know more than us on Demonland. They didn't turn up because they knew what was coming. The fade to  mediocrity is under way.

it was pretty lonely here. Agree

It's okay, we'll be fighting fit in September. 

Not sure if we'll be in the finals, though.

Why would he change anything now if he didn't last week?


Absolutely [censored] performance. Our window is looking closed. Thank god for 2021. This club is a long way off from ever competing for a flag again. 

Weak as water, players, coaching staff & supporters that don’t show up

Imagine letting that mob beat us again at the G

Disgraceful

Top top it off the Freo chant at the end of the game showed up our clap clap go Dees, hooray supporters 

 

Q 1 the forwards actually spread and it worked. But thereafter back to the old all up together.  
How difficult is it really for a professional team and coaching staff to try to get that right?

Grateful for Goody coaching us to the 2021 flag, but he’s got to go.

We’ve become way too easy to coach against, and have no plan B. Gotta clean out the assistants too.

What about the players taking some responsibility.

Scrap Narrm before it ruins our season .  Is there two more weeks of  this useless distraction leading up to Pies boilover?

And scrap that ridiculous thread about Freo and draft picks. Never liked it. Look how thats come back to bite us on the bum.

So last week the rainbow chasers thought we were good because we only lost by 4 to a good side. What have you got to say this week?

They’ll say we lost because Oliver didn’t play, after they said we are not a one man team.

And when we do turn it over we butcher our golden chances for scoring.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
