    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
