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

Sparrow, Chandler & Petty should not be playing.

Assuming a second half the same as that first... i'd add Clarry to that but will wait to see if he can turn it around.

Viney has also been a long way off his best for whatever reason since the Crows game.

    Even if we get well on top and win most contests it wont result in goals because we butcher the ball. We get in open space, no pressure and cant take advantage. It's so frustrating to watch as a supporter.

    I'd play Trac out of the goal square and push the other forwards up the ground.

    Protects his body and back him to win it 1v1 deep.

    Seriously [censored] off and stop mentioning  binman every time the team is playing like [censored]. 
     

    We all support the same team, but that’s where a lot of our commonality ends. People who make comments like this are lacking cerebral power. Also that particular poster should be booted off the site entirely.

    We’ve gone All In on Contested ball with the end result usually being a stoppage in our over crowded forward 50, Goodwin has nothing else. That Tired and well exposed game plan won’t cut it anymore.

    Wasted opportunity to trade clarry & petty at the end of last year. The bold moves we needed to make to set this playing list up for years to come. Just like onfield, we’re WAY too safe off it aswell.

    Season and Window over I've given them enough chances to prove me wrong.

    I've seen enough, if you can't beat half a F'n VFL side then that's enough from me.

    Play the kids and start again.

     

    There aren’t that many kids to play. The list is looking bog ordinary.

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

    Just weak and heartless.

     

    You know that's normal, right?

    Sydney finished their win over Geelong with 5 players without a tackle, and another five with only one for the game.

    Hawthorn had 4 players with zero, and another 6 with just 1.

    Today's game has been flawed by missed shots on goal, defence pulled out of its comfort zone, a scattering of bad turnovers in bad places, some iffy umpiring as always and a star player hurt, but it has been a legit effort.

    Trac needs to go home to bed. He is playing probably with broken ribs and can’t move

    Better Dees! Just move the ball with intent.

    C’mon boys, you can do this

    I have never seen the coaches lock themselves away at half time for a meeting. Very weird.

    They're trying to work out how they can further destroy a premiership list by playing even more boring insipid football.

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

    Our senior acquisitions have been ordinary since the 21 GF as well.

    Dunstan, Hunter, Billings all rubbish.

    Our list management has been millionaire stuff.

    Even the best teams replenish year on year with quality. Not us.

    where would we be without JVR

    Great work by Koz to get it to him too.

    Why were they both sitting on the bench last qtr?

    Clarry is giving away stupid free kicks out of sheer frustration.

    • 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?

      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.
