Just remember, everybody had excuses after the Swans game, the Lions game, the Carlton game, the Eagles game. Can't wait to hear them today.

Fremantle deserved everything they got today, we were hot garbage. 

Too many magnets being moved to cover weaknesses in the team have left us looking like a bottom 4 side.

    Well I can't say I expected that margin, but I will say I tipped it.

    Missed the game as was at my daughter’s dance concert. Looks like a missed a ripper. 
    Season was over in Perth two weeks ago. Major changes needed starting with Goodwin. 

    Goodwin needs to go. Our game plan needs to go and we need to recruit a proper forward coach.

    Recommend everyone watch the 2021 GF 100-7 this week. Staying well clear of anything current. Probably give the pod a miss too

    Freo too good.  Run and skills. Dees were a Horror show. Guarded grass all day. No pressure at all. Nil. Zone didn't work at all. So we didn’t change.  Got worse.  Lost contested footy.  Lost stoppages. Lost centre clearances. Overhandballing into trouble.  Handballs to no one.  Missed targets. Looked slow and weak.  Pearce running through Hunter was symbolic.  Dees had Turnovers. Turnovers. Turnovers. Thought Umps killed us though as well. Horrible. That's the summary.  ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜¡ðŸ˜¡Goodwin had a blank look all day.  He’s a joke.

    That's not only season defining. It's era defining.

    Reckon you might be right.

    There's literally one thing I care about right now, I hope this doesn't ruin the DLers weeks too much. That's all

    Dark day for the club

    A team with this level of talent should not be belted by 90 points.

    And while the extent of the beating is beyond what anyone could have predicted the manner of the performance is not a surprise. The red flags have been there.

    Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

    Nothing to do with Goodwin. Turnovers, contested possession, clearances ... all on the players. Though even there, we just don't have the cattle and there are players out there who are out of their depth.

    I think that’s answered my questions about whether we were good or not this year, we’re not. 

    Something is either wrong in the rooms or with the game plan. Some players are down on their best and we lost Gus and some depth from last year but it’s fallen off a cliff. No losses like that in a long time where it’s just totally fallen apart. I think the defence has been making the rest look good and now nothing looks good. 

    Should we have extended Goodwin last year? We had to, 3 top 4 finishes in a row including a flag, no way he was getting sacked. And I don’t think sacking him now is the answer, rebuilding the list is the answer. Depth is non-existent. We haven’t been able to top up like the tigers or cats did, we rode it to try and win another flag and it seems like we rode it too long.

    Good teams can suffer bad losses.not sure how to place it in our trajectory. Where we are. Respect. Etc. confused. Love this club but a little heartbroken today.

    If we miss the 8 this year, is there anyone that wouldn't support 'Goodwin Out'?

    Surely it would be time.  We have wasted what should have been a golden era.

    I suspect the players don't care enough any more.  There is nowhere near the required pressure being applied.

    What an embarrasment, this and West Coast.  YUCK

    These sorts of losses, well maybe not this big  but bad none the less are going to become more frequent I fear.

    We have a select few players who are very tired and have carried this team (and Goodwin) for quite some time.

    Furthermore the list is out of balance going forward.

    Filth by 10 goals next week.

    I left at 3 qtr time which I’d normally not be proud of. That was just weak and insipid across the park. We really squandered 2022/23 because this team isn’t challenging for a flag anytime soon.

    I do like Scottie at the Debrief, nothing like a good rant about how putrid we were and how the coach is useless.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
