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. β€œour 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.

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

Not at all surprised, some of you must have already forgot it was just 3 weeks ago we lost to west coast.

What I cant believe Gawn doesn’t get a free in our forward line yet you touch curnows jumper umpire pays a free

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.

  • 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?

  • 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.
