    Oliver is one player who is having a red hot go and winning plenty of the ball! Playing his best game for weeks! What game are u watching??

    Are you his dad? It's the only thing that can explain your sycophancy. He could take a dump on the ball and you wouldn't criticise him.

    I don't blame Goody for ten players not laying a single tackle for a half.

    Just weak and heartless.

     

    Whose job is it to drive the standard?

    I think you're right RTG

    Goodwin has coached every laat drop of run, dare, creativity and skills out of this group.

    The game plan is SO strict and boring that as you say, they are now (mostly) just purely reactive and sit back hoping not to make mistakes or look bad.

    Either that or something's gone down off the field that we are yet to hear about.

    They over handball far too often and have no method in transition.

    It's just a conplete horror show, even against shizen oppo like the Eagles.

    Sparrow,  River's etc just [censored] their dacks when under pressure they cannot think it through.

    Goodwin will see out his contract IMO and until then we'll be a solidly mediocre team, and then it will be up to whoever takes over to rebuild the list.

    Collingwood have scored 6.0 from turnover, we've scored 2.5 from turnover. That's the game right there.

    Season over IMO.

    But the fall within the space of 3-4 weeks is breathtaking. 

    Score from turnover is just a phrase without the pressure. 

    And would it kill us to not turn it over it bad areas all the time. Those two kick attempts from Fritsch in the first quarter looked lazy as anything and the moment Collingwood slingshotted it was done. 

    Half time

    1. Overhandballing AGAIN into pressure.  Are you all stupid!!! 79 handballs. Really. 
    2. forwards instruction clearly now there to be seen. Haphazard at best. 
    insude 50s Dees 23-21
    3. missed tackles.  Weak ! Yes weak 

    4. Turnovers. Skills are so bad.  So bad 

    @poita Well said. “our game plan is to build the stats with short kicks backwards and sideways, followed by the inevitable error that results in chain of useless handpasses and finally a blind handpass on to the chest of an opponent. By this time our defenders are 50 metres off their opponents and completely out of position”.

    We have too many players with too few skills by hand and foot.

    All comes down to this, everything else is just blah blah blah.

    Turnovers cost matches.

    To motivate his players, he is staying on the bench the whole game, meaning he is not doing the tactical stuff upstairs but rather his primary job is to motivate the group. Clearly he doesn't achieve anything.

    18 POINTS IN A HALF!? 

    Who is this team? How have we fallen so far? Starting to think the eagles loss was not an anomaly but rather a sign of things to come. The Roos will be salivating. Why not? We can’t score, our skills are poor and the boys are clearly playing with no confidence. 

    Unless there’s a miracle in this second half where these guys remember they can play, I dunno where our wins will come from. 

    Keeping the faith, but geez it’s another tough one today. Was expecting a strong response against a depleted team and instead it’s been pretty tepid. 

    The only thing we can hold onto is Collingwood is not fit, hawthorn come back from 36 and should have won, but Freo don't score and look at what they did.

    Can we sack him? Honest questions, can't take  2 more years of this, nor should our star players and young guns like Windsor and JVR.


    The only good thing about being this bad is that we don’t have to suffer a third consecutive straight sets exit to finals…

    Kruger hasn't played in 3 years but looks like Carey out there.

    I hope the media go extra hard on us this week. 

    We see falling backwards badly

    All on the players.

    In 3 years we've gone from an attacking, fast team with great disposal to a slow, stop and prop team focused upon defence and reaction

    Goodwin is responsible for this game plan.

    Laurie and Chandler are second rate and Turner and Howes are not ready. More holes in our list than Swiss cheese

    I don't think the powers that be have the minerals to sack a premiership coach.

    More like completely busted I'm afraid.

    Talk about enough is enough.

    I'm sick of the clubs talking.

    Is it all a membership drive?

    Stop insulting us all telling us what's not acceptable.

    We know it isn't....do you guys?

    Chandler is very overrated.

    He is just a confidence player, once he goes down a spiral of negative games he can't get out of it.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
