OLIVER ZERO CONTESTED POSSESSIONS IN A HALF OF FOOTY

VINEY WITH ONE

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS MIDFIELD?!

It has been run into the ground by a severe lack of depth and quality rotations. Our recruiting has been diabolical.

The Goodwin gameplan has severely under valued speed and transition on top so we are now overly reliant on centre breaks and dominance at half back.

This midfield implosion has been in the making for at least 2 yrs.

 

Not really surprised after the eagles game.

Oliver is a shadow of his old self.

Tracca has been quiet this year too.

Sparrow is lucky to get games.

And then there is our fwd line.

We don't have one. 

We are shot and we have few coming up through the ranks.

Our dominance is well and truly over.

It's back to the dark old days.

Or at least mediocrity.

Petty has become a liability 

Soooooo bad

U dont say???

 

Where are the clowns who find every excuse under the sun for our poor performances this season. I want to hear the excuses for this rubbish.


Two Freo players hold the ball and effectively tackle each other Nibbles tackles them. No holding the ball. WTF???

Didn’t we have a 51 point comeback with Austin back in the day haha, we’re gonna need exactly that to win and restrict them the nil.

Go dees! Gotta laugh because I feel like crying. This isn’t system adjustment stuff, this is just sad. 

Except for the first 5 minutes, they are making us look amateurs...

Freo pressure and system totally killing us, easily moving end to end and blocking all exits. 

No pressure or even fight around contest, unlike free around the contest.  

Pity any dees supporters that flew up the watch. 


Worst first half since 2018 prelim. 3rd grossly uncompetitive display this season. WTF is going on?

- Angus Brayshaw.

absolutely terrible effort, while max is getting the tap out it is going to the opposition and they are clearing the ball, he need to get the ball to our players. when it goes the freo players out of the ruck, our midfield is not putting pressure on them. why they hell do we not man up they are running rings around us with this stupid zone game we play. collingwood and north must be loving this.


Heads will roll for this performance. Something is seriously wrong with this club. West coast, now this. Need to step back and rethink the list

Not trading Petty to Adelaide is one of our bigger list mistakes in a long time

We would be lucky to get a bag of old marbles for him .

One disposal for a half.

No marbles.

Edited by leave it to deever

In reality ...selling the game is NOT the real issue.

Getting thumped is..

We play like yoyos 

Team is very over-rated imo... sorry to say.

Nice the lads have a good mate in  Simon

Kum by ya ...

Go Dees ( back to the airport....just go home..... youre obvious not interested)

 

This is coach-killing stuff.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
