It's pretty bad but there is a part of me that wants us to be smashed so we do something. 

But then I don't think there is anything we can do.

Our list is in disarray.

We have McAdam, Bbb and Schache on our list.

My only hope is that Half of the coaching staff is changed. The 2022-2023 plan feels tired and ineffective in the current AFL.

I am feeling very down for next week, poor Gus I hope he doesn't have to witness some rubbish like this on KB.

    UOf course amiss doesn't miss against us. This is going to be a percentage killer, a top 4 killer & maybe a top8 killer

    U think it’s the mids? Today has been contest in general not just the mids imho I mean seeing O‘meara be made to look like Ablett hurts but I’m not sure it’s all mids we’ve just been off our game completely trying to be some sort of cutting kick team which we’re not.. it’s certainly just very strange we’re at sea without a boat let alone a paddle!!! 

    No it's a collective as a whole.

    But it's starts in the coalface and we've been absolutely smashed with barely any clean forward entries.

    Switched it off after that last goal... I'm going to go do some work...   

    This is worse than the eagles game.  Freo came to play and we didn't except for a couple of players. No hard running and supporting teammates, so Freo can easily have an out option and move the ball.  

    No miracle comeback in this one.

    Getting smashed and people are blaming the umpires? Come on. 
    First to the ball = first to the free. 

    When decisions like HTB are paid one way we have every right to talk about it. Would never happen to Pies or Blues.

    If the entire team doesn’t have Covid or explosive diarrhea, then I have no idea what is the possible excuse for this embarrassing performance 

    Wait for the 'learnings' rubbish at the press conference.

    But this takes away from the real issue. The ****ty umpires will never change.

    In any good club, players are very mindful of the pressure to perform.

    Simply if they don't perform they have to play in the twos.

    Since we stopped recruiting and let some good players leave we don't have enough players in the twos for such pressure to exist.

    So we get sloppy efforts from players who know they will get a game regardless.

    We need a rebuild I'm afraid.

    And the reality of that means a few great players of today won't see another flag.

    New ideas are needed to keep pushing the side forward.  Yze bought in new ideas that had impact and success.  His replacement doesn't seem to had the same impact.  We need to go and find a high quality senior assistant to challenge Goodwin and push the team.

    The only positive about today is Uncle Bitters not trekking to the red center!

    The problem is Goodwin never gives this side a bake. I know it's going back to old school & nobody does that these days but sometimes they need a rocket.

    Other coaches still do it

    He's bestie with most of the players, specially the leadership group. How can we expect him to apply some accountability?

    Does anyone else want a 100 point loss so something can change? 

    Not thinking I'll need to WANT it.....

     

    I do realise I could not play football at much of a level, and I remember winning 1 game in two years. 
    but McAdam, Petty Turner need not turn up for training 

    I can see only Viney, AnB ,Kozzy perhaps and perhaps again Tomlinson care at all 

    that’s my perception. Watching on the TV

    North will have their first win against us.

    Mark it down.

    I think some peeps have been a bit spoiled.. I wish I could make it so that when you jump-off this quickly you can’t enjoy the high-rides but I know where you’re coming from and would’ve once felt similar but this is a perfect day for a team that’s choc-full of confidence and we’re barely there! Maybe this is a butt-smashing we need?
     

     No reason it can’t be.. I choose to keep faith, everything’s going right for them and it’s evident they’re chasing in. I can’t smash a team that’s given me so much resounding reasons to trust them.. I mean look at that Serong Goal for goodness sake off back if DARCY lucky goal and Frederick boundary goal, that’s just bananas & good on em!

    We’ll bounce back next week.. you don’t lose ability overnight for goodness sake! 
     

    Harden up ppl, it’s a crappy day — move fwd.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • 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?
