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.  😡😡😡😡😡😡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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
