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.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
