I hope we keep the talk brief after this.

Just say sorry. And that you’ll work hard to contend with the inevitable CHOKERS tag next year because it’s coming. If we even get a double chance next year with all the up and coming teams right now.

TMAC retire. New forward coach. No more games for passengers, Chandler etc who are declining hard. 

Get a team psychiatrist!!!!!

Its called choking, there is no hiding from it.

Poor kicking isn't bad luck.

Letting blues waltz out every centre bounce was a disgrace.

Poor coaching with no subbing doesn't help.

 

We said the same last year, bad luck... bad luck with I juries...

I am.afraid this can scar psychologically the group.

Lots of mental work to do in the offseason.


Tim Lamb and Jason Taylor certainly have their work cut out for them. They've assembled a completely unbalanced list. We have far too many players that are not big enough and who cannot kick.

When all is said and done. More is said than done. 

I don’t know what you’re so upset about; we won expected score again

This time 85-66.

See all you at the Expected Prelim and our entry into Expected Grand Final.

We need to bring in some forwards. We have too many pretending to be good forwards in their prime.

Why select Schache as sub if Goody won't put him on, despite Tmac being a witches hat?

Oh silly, it's Learnings. If we had put the Sub on there would have been no Learnings.

The Dees are the Greg Norman of football , chokers .  We need to get rid of some players BB ,T.Mac, Harmes , Jordon ,Schache , Grundy the most expensive back up ruckman in afl history and Goody , the reserves coach ,Richardson,Pert that's for starters .I would include the fitness coach . This club makes me sick.

Yep, I have to agree

Wtf were they thinking?

It’s been going on all year.

It started with not playing Brown when he came back from injury, not playing JVR for a while there, constantly dropping Tomlinson and not playing a third tall defender, not playing Smith forward and now not playing Grundy and leaving a sub unused.

Agree. Chuck in Hibberd or Grundy, schace or anyone in place of tmac in the last 25 mins and they would've offered something which is more than nothing we go from tmac

We are an out and out joke. Just a club that has no idea how to find a way.

I have no faith in these guys whatsoever. What's the point of us scraping into top 4 again next year? Seems like we all know what's going to happen when the pressure really comes on.

Just now, Travy14 said:

Pathetic!! 

Big big big please explain from a coaching panel that put a player in the sub to not be used!

Heads need to roll! Once again dominated a game and got done! Fwd line coach has got to go, we haven't been the same since Darren Burgess left, he went to the Crows and look at how much they have improved while we have gone backwards. Broom the dead wood and get some hard bastards in, I hate seeing potential go to waste! What a waste of a season! Should have been a golden era! 

Geez losing Gus like we did. Maynard getting off 

Kicking the way we have and losing four finals in a row makes it hard to support this mob.

I think I need a break too.

Tx guys for the laughs insights and venting.

Go gws 


They will play these two games for years to come. It will be called how to gift teams a prelim.

 

It sums the year up quite beautifully. Gotta be the smallest average  losing margin for a team ever. 
 

tonight felt very familiar. Chip away for no return only to have one skill error result in a turn over goal for the game. Teams are left speechless after playing us. They thought they’d be reviewing a loss, but they are reviewing a win. 
 

petty and melksham may have been the difference this year. We looked a different team briefly when they were up and about. Injuries play a big part again. 
 

don’t know what to think. Plenty still working. We might be the worst skilled really good team ever. 

I've said it once and I'll say it again. 

When Burgess walked out, it wasn't just our fitness but a whole lot of professionalism that left too.

Goodwin is too close to this group. Too much warm fuzzy culture and complete neglect to the forward half.

He has completely coached the attacking nouse, system and instinct out of this team with his stupid squeeze em up strategy. We squeeze ourselves up. We can't transition to save ourselves.

 

 

And I've been flying the flag out the front yard for the last 3 weeks like a fool.

 

Edited by Fork 'em

there has to be big changes

Goody isnt going anywhere due to us keeping him contracted until 2100

Yze out

Stafford out

richardson out

head of conditioning out

recruiters need to change tact or get out too.

Viney the turnover king can get out

tomlinson, tmac, JJ, sparrow, neal bullen, oliver, can get out too. 

Max's kicking can get out

Im [censored] angry.

Lets do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. a game style made for finals my hole, a game style made to wilt in finals.

I just love how this club finds new and interesting ways to let us down, FMD

 

 


That’s broken me.

Just wanted to see a finals win at the MCG and we couldn’t ice it. 

People will say the Grundy trade didn’t work because of Gawn’s ruck dominance but Gawn didn’t hold up his end of the bargain in the forward line all season. It was shown again when he missed two easy shots.

I’m off AFL Media until the Grand final. Can’t stand the Voss love in when Carlton was cooked we had them and we couldn’t shut the door. 

The roar at the end was deafening. Saw a few young supporters crying.

Umpiring was a disgrace too.

Seriously here are some challenged people on this site...

The team was undermanned and gave it everything...if you can't see that you know nothing.

Signing off for AFL season 2023.

Garbage, we had the game won, our poor field kicking lost it, you cant kick you can't win big games

We’ll finish next year top 4 again and with any luck injury wise we’ll be a real chance again. Having no consistent forward structure is always going to be a big ask in September. We win everywhere else.  
 

I love following the Dee’s while we finish top 4 year after year, I’ll take this over the neeld era any day. Catch ya next year DL 

Completly agreed Smokey. Forward line issues are what we need to solve. If we can have an injury free run we are the best all round team playing. 

Would have loved to see Grundy in the forward line tonight. Dont know why Goodie didnt play him but what a waste. He can mark and he can have a shot.

 

Also, we sure have a lot of players that cannot keep their feet. You would thought they were playing on a ground they'd never set foot on.

16 goals 28 behinds from 122 inside 50s.

Lost 9 games all season by a combined 79 points. A kings ransom for an extra goal a game.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
