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

No, Freo played bloody good footy actually. 

But this [censored] sucks so much, [censored]

Whelp.  

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

HTF Salem walked straight into the senior side without finding form at Casey has me stumped. He is timid and has zero hurt factor

Putrid. It’s not working Goody ffs.

Carlton are rolled gold certainties next weekend. We're cooked.

At this point in time, I will be happy if we make finals. 

Do not play James Harmes again. Casey beckons. Momentum killer

It’s one thing losing a game when you have a rubbish list. It’s another to keep losing games with a list capable of so so much more. 

I haven't been this angry after a loss for quite some time. Today was a [censored] joke, we never ever looked like getting to goal. There are players out there who look like downright garbage right now. 

The honeymoon period of the 2021 flag is finally coming to an end. No-one outside of us cares about that anymore. Are we actually a top 4 side? Really?

Now that we've just lost to freo on our home deck maybe some of the apologists here might stop making excuses for how poorly we are travelling? Are we still learning?? Maybe it's ok to follow a team who is not as terrible as we were for so many years? It's ok as long as we can beat up on 16th-18th team.

We’re wasting our generational talent. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm certainly angry. That was [censored]. 

Ah well we will always have 2021. 

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

l completely agree. Jackson stood up and was close to BOG. I don’t know where our problem is but the list isn’t that different from the great year. we’re been worked out and i’m not sure we have a plan B against anyone but North and Hawthorn who can beat on pure talent alone

Embarrassing. To let an average football team show you up on your home deck twice in 2 years is an absolute disgrace. 

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.

I'm not sure what we can do. I'm just shocked 

Perhaps we need to get used to the fact that that is as good as we get this year.

We are just a good team that can turn it on once in a while that's all.

5th or 6th best team in it, fallen to bottom of the 8.

Time to stop persisting with another tall. Fritta, JVR and Gawn/Grundy. That’s it. If he wants to play Tmac or BBB then one of those mentioned has to get dropped. 
 

We are carrying too many average players who do too little for far too long.

If Harmes plays ffs use him in the best way, he is a tagger, and a good one. If not, play Jordon or some one else.

Start searching for a replacement for Stafford so as soon as the seasons done we can sack him and get some one decent in. Yze needs to lift his game too. 

we prob won’t make top 4 now, or just scrape in, we have about a 5% chance at the flag. We are bog ordinary. Glad I have to work KB cos the filth will slaughter us.

Love the new culture the MFC have built. Another ordinary interstate team doing us on the G.

People wonder why our crowds are either small or just not into it...ourr players are a bit soft and don't offer much to inspire. 

What a squibby football club peeing away the best opportunity we will have in a lifetime to change into a ruthlessly competitive club.

Shame that we can't trust our team anymore. We don't look that far off but we also never look likely either.

Think we desperately need another 3rd tall to help lever with his intercept game. While I get the importance of the turnover game, we seem to have neglected clearance work which is hugely important if we need quick goals. For whatever reason, (part luck, part positioning) we seem to have poor ability to win the ground balls at contests with front and centre work. 

I think we can fix it, but time is running out.

Also I'm not sure an average mid with an average skill set is the best option for sub.

 

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?

How did he go at Casey? 1 goal only.

Maybe happier if we don’t.  September holiday. 

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.
