Silver lining is that maybe this precipitates Goodwin's farewell?

Not sure the board has the guts but one can dream.

We'd have to miss finals for it to be considered I'd say.

 

Strange game 

 

All the talk about Petty. Fritz has contributed zero and roo 2 hit outs. Getty nothing from them and have for the last month.

    They're killing us around the stoppage and killing us around the ground. If they tighten up their possessions and keep running they will score quickly. I just can't see us winning this. We are so, so bad.

    Does that surprise you after spending time on this site?

    What happened after the siren?

    There was a bit of a melee. Shame we didn't put in this much fight against Collingwood.

    Not where I’m sitting. Out number 3-1. It’s just that quarter we didn’t have much to cheer about.

     

    Kozzy went down to the rooms early in that quarter. He was limping a fair bit behind the play

    I hope North don't find their shooting boots or we could be in trouble

    If Kozzy is going to spend time in the middle, he can't continue to avoid contested situations. He goes in one handed and is timid in contested situations. He also lowers his body as he goes into the contest to try and get a head high free, and when the opposition doesn't get sucked into giving away the free, he ends up on the floor with the ball and then rushes his disposal.

    Needs to cut it out of his game if he is going to continue to get minutes in the midfield.

    That's very likely with no Petracca, I can almost put some money on us missing the 8.


    Poor quarter, bodes badly for the rest of the game. Forward line have packed it in after a good first quarter 

    It’s interesting that we are more than 10% down on our season average disposal efficiency.

    Clean that up and we’ll be much more likely to score.

    I am not normally one to try ridiculous player shifting mid game but I'd honestly put Oliver deep in the pocket and put Kolt next to him. Shift Petty back and McDonald forward. Leave JVR in the ruck and have Gawn play defensively exclusively. Pickett on the wing and Windsor playing a defensive wing. Give Langdon more space to run. Then sub Chandler and bring on Brown to play an attacking flank role.

    JVR was BOG against Collingwood

    Yep we’ve been butchering it.

    North’s contest work was very good that qtr. If they keep it up we’ll be done.

    Sad to see a champion like Clarry reduced to a plodding ineffective confused player. Looks totally cooked. 

    Pretty poor second quarter. Good to see Rivers getting a run through the middle though. Oliver still looks  miles off being the player he was and I am not sure it’s his fitness that’s holding him back.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
