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. 

  • Quote

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
