Bomb it long to the forward line guys.

Apparently he didn't actually say that, but i say that without knowing the quote myself. It is just what i've heardon the grapevine.

    A key for sure.

    Not just your assets though,   but how you use them. 

    Different recipes,  same ingredients,  different result.

    Have a sneaking suspicion we might have zigged, not zagged.  As most will concur...and going still with food analogy...proof of pudding in tonights eating.

    Go Dees

    ( even have my lucky socks on 😉 )

    I think you will need two pair BB.

    As long is Grundy is sub  all good.  Getting tired of honorable loses where we we won on stats but not score board   I think we win tonight.  Good record against Carltank     Should be equal number of fans both sides unlike last week were all carltank fans      Please win !!!

    not sure what grundy being sub is going to do for our scoreboard

    Or if Melbourne loses tonight, is Goody in danger of becoming the new Bevo - the coach with the best list, yet the worst return.
    Genius or insane? What’s your view?
     

    A pretty shallow article. Injuries, suspensions & form means we don’t have a lot of options.

    If we win  ( I am sure ) Goody would remain as a good coach , otherwise he will be Bevo mark 2. Overall I don't think the Dees coaching staff have been creative. Example we have T.Mac and BB both forwards breaking down constantly in other word we get little value from them . We dump Tomlinson when he is playing well , when Petty comes back Tomlinson gets dropped. Then our coaching staff realises that Petty is a forward . We have a backman becoming a forward ,genius coaching. Petty,Fritta and Melk ( born again forward ) get injured . Smith makes the senior side as a non sub,plays forward , another genius idea (not the best however ,but due to injuries he does a Steven Bradbury). We could have tried Tomlinson and Turner up front whilst they we playing for Casey . We shouldn't worry about Schache as a senior player or as a forward , he has had his chances and as far as I am concerned he is another Weidman.

    neither. forced into going small tonight. hopefully this means we go quickly too.

    At least it's not cold and wet tonight so his selections just might be right for the playing conditions. I really expect a massive improvement tonight. Even playing/kicking badly last week we only lost by a few points and if there were a couple of extra minutes could well have won. How would the media handled that.

    Going out straight sets in finals two years in a row would be down right embarrassing. 

    Not with the injuries we've had. You need everything to go right to go deep into finals

    It certainly would be embarrassing, even with the injury reasons. You can smell the whole AFL world wants it to happen as well. The days of pity for the MFC are long gone. We are now hated, and they want us to fail. I suppose that's progress?

    Anyone that considers AFL coaching as a career pathway has to be somewhat insane.

    Unless you win the last game of the year, you have failed.

    Unfortunately Weideman lacked the physicality that JVR relishes on the field.

    It's the single thing that prevented him to become a top 10 forward in the AFL.

    Goodwin has to win the flag next year or has to go. He has let this team become putrid in skills, he thinks contest and tough defence is all.

    Hate his phrase "the score will take care of itself" , rubbish!

    Rubbish comment mate.

    A brilliant coaching performance against the odds tonight.

    If it weren't for a few dodgy decisions we had this.

    Coaching is not only the strategy or GameDay, how on earth have many of our players either regressed or stagnated? No skill development.

    Great post. If we continue with the slow and high entries with this team then either Goody is insane or the playing group collectively have well below average footy IQ.

    Our players are stupid. I'm now convinced of it

    Being defensive keeps you in games but it doesn’t win you games

    Definitely worth a thread of its own but why o why the inaccuracy

    BS. Always the umpires isn’t it.

    How about we lay the blame at those responsible? Max needs to shoulder a fair bit of the blame with his woeful goal kicking, and the coaching group really needs a rocket and shake-up.

    Leaving Tmac on was no genius  move. I know that much.

    Lack of composure, lack of skill development. For the most part our players have either regressed or stagnated.

    Trac same wobbles from last year, Kozzy gets carried away by the emotions, even Fritsch looked woobly in these finals.

    Our most accurate kicks are JVR and Fritta. Need one KPF that can mark our long bombs and kick goals.

    Problems is we have been saying “if it weren't for…” (insert excuse of the day) an awful lot over the past two years

    For my mind we need a shake up of the assistant group again to freshen the messages up. Yze off to Tigers, Stafford out all together and perhaps choccos goal kicking practice can be quietly shut down

      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?
