Now just watch them give up

 

Goodwin has overseen the collapse of this club. OMG the skills turnovers.

    I think it has been 6 weeks


    You simply cannot justify this scoreline.

    Going no where fast, optimistic to think we can even bounce back anytime soon, it’s going to be a long rebuild hope the good times of 2021 is enough to sustain everyone 

    What's the opinion of those that felt it was unwarranted to criticise Goodwin? Premiership coach or not he is very accountable for all the bad this year and even 2023.

    Tracc can’t move, and those bloody ferals cheer!

    Truly lowest of the lows.

    I wish we didn't talk ourselves up before the game.

    Now it's embarrassing.

    And why hasn't anyone even touched Maynard.

    That fact alone sums this team up.

    Your mate has been sent into early retirement and Maynard doesn't have a scratch on him.

    I'm sorry but we lack heart.

    This is not the same club of the last few years.

    Move Tmac fwd.

    Kozzie One disposal for that quarter.

    Langdon four for the day.

    JV eight.

    Fritta what's going on?

    When Oliver gets the ball he thinks he should just boot it anywhere. How about finding a target.

    Another strong game from Max.

    Feel sorry for him.

    Don't blame the backs. I's our normal turnover merchants doing the damage. You would think there is a jumper clash seeing most times we get the ball we kick or handball to a black and white jumper. Clarry needs to look, look and look instead of dump kicks.

    To finish off we again have no forwards. Fritta missing other than 2 turnovers early and I have no idea why Turner and Chandler are playing. The odd times they get the pill it's also given back.

    This is not a good look and if the Pies had their full team like us (except Lever) we would be 15 goals down by now. Long back end of season coming up guys unless a miracle happens in the 2nd half.

    Goodwin & the coaches have managed to destroy this midfield and the rest of the team , his pig headed approach of trying to turn defenders into fwds , had a midfield once feared to zero, JVR only decent fwd will seek a request for a trade …

    How did our skills become the worst in the AFL in 6.5 matches?

    They always were...

    They are so shiiite scared of turning the ball over and getting caught that they just panic the ball off any which way.

    A team completely devoid of confidence, skills, run and high pressure.

    How did we become this bad in four weeks of footy?

    It's actually been a lot longer than that DD. We won the Premiership because (not only) we played with a great deal of dare. Each season since has seen less and less dare and wanting to adhere to a strict game plan. Consequently, we're always, always, always reactive rather than pro-active.

    Lost to West Coast, smashed by Freo, losing soundly to Collingwoods twos. Fans actually think we are a finals side. Not even close. Finals list, but coach has lost the players. Anyone who knows the game saw it weeks ago. I’d be interested to see what this list could do even this year, with a new coach.

    Shot at goal accuracy is 20 percent. 

    Yipyah.

    A goal conceded at the end of each quarter.

    Pizzzeng our chances away.

    The Choco school of kicking. Shut the school down

    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.

    It's like barracking for a sloth against a turtle right now. We've got nothing more to give.

    Even up until a few minutes left I'd have been pleased as long as we didn't concede but we went and let 3 big ones sail through. Splitting our hearts in the process. 

    Errors in critical areas of the ground, stupid defensive mistakes, midfielders that can't kick anymore.

    The one positive is ANB is keeping Daicos quiet, however it is robbing us of the high HFF role he offers.

    11sec, couldn't hold on.

    With 45sec to go, twice kicking out of defence couldn't get either a mark or stoppage.

    I don't mind Goodwin as a person, I think he has a high EQ and don't buy any of the culture stuff but he has to go. He's derelict in his coaching duties.

    Diabolical gameplan and bog average list which has become way out of balance. Totally inept forward of centre.

    Contested ball and territory is all he has. Nothing about transition, conection, team rules, forward system.

    When our players get the footy they have to think about what they're going to do with it. When the Pies players get it they already know and are gone.

    Pathetic. Filth just want it more. Should be enough motivation from last year and last week to outwork these 💩heads! Keep turning over in their forward 50, kicking to 1v1 on wings or straight to an opponent. Oliver should just try win the ball and distribute by hand, killing us by foot. Gawn, McDonald, Roo, and maybe Rivers having a crack, everyone needs a kick or 2 up their butts and lift, infuriating to watch this team ATM. Lift!!!

    Where are the coaches? Petracca decides if he plays injured?

    Horrific leadership off the field.

    Of course he does, initially. He and the drs do the fitness test, if he says he's right to go they'll put him back on.

    Apparently he’s a good bloke who the players love or some such garbage. 
     

    Ever since I read his text messages to Stephen Dank I’ve had him figured out. Takes a lot of other people considerable time to figure it out apparently. 

    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.

    This has been a slow burn, this year. But when we were totally outplayed by a Brisbane side, who had been awful, i knew that Simon was done. 
    he needs a change 

    We need a change

    We had Yze coaching the midfield when he had no experience, we have Stafford coaching the forward line. And we have a drop kick coaching the side. 

    It's over. We look like sisyphus. Rolling the stone up the hill. This club is uncompetitive at the moment. Its time for big change. The collective effort is there but pathetic efforts from guys like Bowey at the end there and McVee on Schultz epitomise that the standards being set are non-existent and it is killing the young players.

    • 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.
