Is there something we all don't know about Tom McDonald? Like WTF is this bloke still on an AFL list let alone still playing in our senior side? Not only does he rarely get the ball...he actually competes putridly in the air and on the ground. He needs to go. We'd be better to go to the mid season draft and play a competitive forward out of local footy and just tell this bloke to stay home.

Honestly emblematic of how crape we are that a bloke with that much experience can play like that week in week out.

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

    Why will get the same result, until Goody decides to change tack nothing will change.

    Some dude was just chanting "Freo" and someone yelled out to go home to which he replied "I am home, I live in Fitzroy" to anyone that wanted to listen. 

    Ie. Why are there so many Freo fans here?

    Perth people living in Melbourne .

    Who in his right mind would follow a basket case team like Freo, an interstate one .

    Our backs and mids played mostly OK. Our intensity, run and attack on the ball or player looked mostly OK. 

    But our in-close handballing, fumbling, and bog ordinary kicking to inside F50 makes us look like a team placed about 8th, which is where we are heading. I cannot believe how bad our kicking into F50 is, probably best summed up by Trac's out on the full in the 1st quarter. Even our great kicks like Salem, Bowey and Picket looked terrible today.

    Make no mistake, Freo were not good enough to win that game, but we were error-riddled enough to lose it.

    Why didn’t we put Kosi into the middle in the last? We were getting mauled in there time and time again. 
    The game was all but lost so try something!

    It's like Goody freezes.

    What’s the wurundjeri word for stagnant pond? We’re currently playing like one so should rename ourselves after that.

    Is this list all that? We were average post round 10 last year and we’ve been average this season. Maybe we’re just an average list.

    Good list with really glaring deficiencies. 

    No midfield depth either

    Are we throwing out bans for saying the Goodwin era was great, but he is done?

    No need to watch the post game interview.

    (Opponent) were excellent today, they brought the pressure we anticipated.  We'll go away and learn from this. (Opponent) are a good side and we have to be better.

    Thanks.

    Tmac tries but injuries have killed him, good servant of the club but time to move on.

    Such poor connection through the middle and into the forward line. 
     

    I now just assume that players such as ANB and even Brayshaw will more often than not cough it up.

    Here’s disposal efficiency for those moving through the middle 

    Viney 37%
    ANB 44%
    Brayshaw 52%
    Grundy 53%
    Petracca 58%
    Harmes 64%
    Pickett 64%
    Langdon 74%
    Sparrow 78%
    Salem 79%
    Gawn 87%

    In contrast, I could only find 1 Walyalup player on 50% and almost all were 60-70% plus and they were facing just as much pressure as us. 
     

    The decision making and skill errors behind those numbers are killing us.

    Well unfortunately Pies are us in 2021, clear flag favourites. You want a flag, you have to beat them at their own game or devise a plan to neutralize theirs.

    We are middle of the pack at the moment, putrid.

    Echo the forward line comments. Inability to lower eyes, or for leads, players making space or basic forward craft was absent in my very humble opinion. Petracca needs to accept that his power kicks at goal are woefully ineffective and look for a target. Just bloody frustrated.

    There aren't this many Perth people loving in Melbourne. Most people go the other way

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
