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…

Edited by OhMyDees

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.

Well Carlton will make the GF this year. Umps making sure of it. Sports entertainment.

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

Another season wasted

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
