Now that was unacceptable.

Great fightback MFC.

You can go to Adelaide now Petty.

When will Goody drop him?

Never 

Can Petty take Goodwin back with him?

    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. 

    We were playing a Collingwood team LITERALLY missing half their team.

    Rivers was terrific. Kozzy tried hard but his inaccuracy like Fritta's really costly.

    The younger players weren't disgraced, McVee, Howes and Windsor all serviceable.

    Our midfield was shocking, led by Viney who was a liability. Max was intent on grappling all game and was completely nullified by their rucks.

    The backline misses Lever's leadership and instruction, but I think it's time to work out whether we want to play slingshot and it probably means we need some list changes or revert back to the forward half game style of 2021-2023 that we appeared to play today.

    Goody isn't getting the sack, nor should he, so we need to look at other ways to improve.

    Season most definitely shot though.

    We stunk up the joint today on the biggest stage in front of 85,000. 

    The team is not good enough and has holes in a lot of areas. I didn't expect to make top 4 this year but I was definitely expecting finals, can it be turned around? Maybe. But that was insipid and [censored].

    Still overseas, so haven't watched this game either, but we're completely done for the year if we can't do better than a 38 point loss to a Collingwood side missing De Goey, Mitchell, Pendlebury, Mihocek, Elliott and Cox (plus McStay).

    To be that far off a side with 6-7 best 23 players missing the week after the bake we deservedly received is arguably more concerning than the Fremantle loss.

    Team stats very even. Occasional lack of intensity but so did the Pies. Gameplan looks to be basically OK but no run and carry or angle-kicks to break open lines and angles. Similar shots on goal. 

    Our in close to outside handballing is atrocious. Our kicking skills inside F50 is worse.

    *questionable but still

    Quoting this as a reminder of how embarrassing of a display we dished out with these guys missing.

    Much of this turns on three players for mine:

    - Oliver. Missed most of the pre-season and has never got going. His under-performance around the ball is costing us badly, especially when we're having to play Petracca more forward.

    - Lever. Back line is all at sea without him and May is exposed.

    - Melksham. Is to the forward line what Lever is to the backline, the general. Without him we're lacking leadership, experience and smarts.

    Season not gone? Seriously where no chance this year. Where still a slim chance for finals but where making up numbers this year.

    And that .... Is why I went fishin' instead.
    Still had to turn the radio off just after half time cause they were ruining my serenity.
    Pathetic.

    As soon as l saw Petty selected l knew we would lose.

    The most uncompetitive player in the AFL

    Goodwins stubbornness has cost us any chance of finals this year

    More scoring shots but a sad loss.  
    Not just conversion but entries and set up. 
    4 posters doesn’t help. 
    Skills in disposal a long way off.

    We had a lot of the ball but turnovers and inaccuracy killed us today, not the opposition. That was completely self inflicted.

    Goodwin has admitted that both himself and family have been affected by the off field dramas. Totally understandable.  However, given our extraordinary demise, I just wonder if it might have all become too much for him and he may not last the season? Lose to North and it will be on a knife-edge.

    Chandler, Sparrow, Petty, Fritsch, Rivers, Kozi, Salem or anyone with trade value just start at the end of 2024.

    New coach, new outlook, fresh ideas and input from fresh assistant coaches.

    Yze should have taken the reigns.

    Pencil Norf in for a win

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

    Not really though, last week was all about the annihilation we received in contest, clearance and territory.

    Just looking at the stats, we only fixed part of that today. +22 in CPs is improvement but -10 in clearance to a side missing De Goey, Mitchell and Pendlebury is bad, and -3 inside 50s is just as bad given we know we spent the week focusing on contest, clearance and territory.

    I thought we played ok just didn’t convert as usual.

    If they don’t drop Petty next week I’m not going .

    I’m not having a go… I love your optimism however it is very clear this season is dust… even if we can scrape into the 8 we will just [censored] the bed. 
     

    We should be getting games into kids for the rest of this season.

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

    Thank God we extended him, one of the few things to look forward in the next couple of years.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
