    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 

    Goodwin 😡😡😡actually 

    Goodwin 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

    Elliot

    injury hit Pies up 45-18

    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.

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
