We just got spanked by half a Collingwood team... Let that sink in.

With nigh on our whole squad to choose from.

That was just more rubbish.

Zero confidence. Zero intensity. Zero clue.

Deplorable skills. We are playing like a bunch of drunks. I can’t believe how far our form has plummeted in the space of 6 weeks or so. There is something rotten in the club. There’s no demon spirit anymore.

Goody survived one near death experience. He won’t survive another. He needs to sort this out and fast otherwise he’ll be in the jobs market come seasons end.


If the issue with the club over the last couple of seasons has been inaccuracy and scoring efficiency today was the day where it became completely unavoidable that both the skills coach and forward line coach have to go.

I expect significant off field changes before next year. We continue to under deliver forward of the ball.

Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head

This.

One positive at least is that those that think JvR won’t make it can stfu now.

It’s pretty sad we have gone from being the hardest team to play against for years to this. 

In less than a month we get smashed by the former worst team in the comp, get smashed by the most fickle side in the comp, get smashed by the most undermanned side in the comp and next game against another former worst team in the comp. I think we will win that one.

Drafting high-contest vs high-skill players got us a premiership, but is coming back to hurt us.

Scoreboard might not look as bad as last week but that was worse. Should have been a statement game. Interesting press conference coming up. Have your Press Conference Bingo Cards ready. 

Inaccurate has nothing to do with it. 

Our shots are from the pockets. Collingwood kicks theirs from direcrly in front. We have a shot directly in front from 50 and hit a target on the pocket. Daicos slots his from 55 out directly in front.

This is 100%, undoubtedly, unequivocally structural. This is a coaching decision. It's how we played in 2021. It's how we're playing now.

We have a 60 goal forward in Fritsch who consistently can't get into games. 

We consistently kick to spare defenders.

We are poorly coached.

From the ground, there was plenty of want and intensity, particularly early. All the indicators said we should have been much closer at half time - on top in clearance and contested possession. The simple fact is they converted all of their chances (and most of their half chances) and we didn’t. 

Goody will make some huge, huge changes next week. Billings to start. Laurie sub.


Pack your bags Simon, you're done..

While you're at it take Richo, Pert, Roffey, Chaplin, Williams, Stafford  and Tim Lamb with you on the way out.

 

Edited by dazzledavey36

Season not gone, but Chaplin and Stafford can [censored] off.


I'm trying to think whether getting beaten by a Collingwood team with 11 of its first choice players out is worse than being beaten by an Essendon VFL side like we were a few years back.

This club has no heart.

The can take their pay checks and far8off for all I care

Edited by jnrmac

Now that was unacceptable.

Great fightback MFC.

You can go to Adelaide now Petty.

When will Goody drop him?

Never 

I feel sick. I feel embarrassed that we turned up like that after Freo. And I feel like I'm losing my mind seeing so many people be optimsitic and suggest goal kicking was the difference today.

Bizarre that after last week's smashing we go with the same Petty and Turner forward set up.

reminder that we just played a side missing :

Pendlebury, DeGoey, Elliot, Mihocek, McStay, Cox*, Mitchell*

*questionable but still

🤢

  • 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.
