POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne



Recommended Posts

Max says we are not far off our best. [censored]. I think we are delusional. Cricket season cannot come quick enough. That honestly felt like a loss. No score at all in the last.
 

Brown as a sub in his first game is what poor clubs do. His poor Dad had to wait for the last 10 mins to see him play. Disgrace.

Points to ponder:

1. Forward structure still a major problem. Could Melksham's return make any difference?

2. Last quarter showed how much we have been missing Lever's calm defending.

3. North showing definite signs of improvement.

4. Tholstrup one to watch for the future.

5. But for Kynan Brown's never-say-die chase and tackle we would probably have lost.

6. Kozzie still an enigma. Cameos of absolute brilliance, then invisible for longish stretches.

7. Big worry that Goodwin seemed clueless as the tide turned in the final quarter.

8. Will Oliver ever fully regain his dominant pre-troubles form?

A big f you to all the reserved seat members who didn’t show up, absolutely pathetic turnout from us tonight.

As for the team, we are broken, people need to stop blaming the umpires. 

Fritsch and Oliver should be made to walk to Brisbane because neither are getting dropped.

Petty can start walking to Adelaide, they can have him free of charge.

Entire club is scared.

The players are scared of contact, scared of going when it's their turn, scared of getting in someone's way and scared of making a mistake. 

Coaches are scared of making difficult calls, scared of admitting how bad we are, and scared of Goodwin. 

Pert and Roffey are scared of being wrong. They will go down with the ship. 

We are barely recognisable. We have no cohesion, no hunger, no intensity and no desire.

They are zapped of all confidence, not playing for the coach and definitely not playing for each other.

I was embarrassed by Clarry's behaviour all night and more embarrassed that the club keeps rewarding his performances and behaviour.

Standards are an absolute mess and you can see and feel it at the ground that the culture, spirit, connection whatever you want to call it is broken.

Deserves its own thread but a massive [censored] you to the disgracefully large contingent of you so-called Melbourne “supporters” who choose not to go to games to “protest” or some other [censored]. 

Not for a second having a go at those who can’t go for financial or personal reasons. Almost none of us can get to every game. 

But if you stayed home because you’re fed up with Goodwin or you think our season’s shot or you want to “send a message” to Roffey or Pert, or you think we’re boring or whatever, [censored] you.

Don’t sit at home and complain that we can’t attract talent in the trade period - who wants to play in a half empty MCG when North’s 10,000 fans are more vocal than ours? Don’t complain about our players looking devoid of confidence when they don’t get the sort of lift from the crowd that most other clubs get.

If you’re able to go, and you don’t, get stuffed. 

Can you please tell it straight I am not sure what you mean. Seriously yes I was there freezing to death. Great glorious defensive win.

Just in case you missed it we won.

Nothing to do with Goodwin. Coaches have surprisingly little influence once the game is in play. Which is why you need on-field leadership and experience. Losing Brayshaw, Melksham, Petracca and Lever isn't helping.

I couldn't pay a membership this year, will do the next and the next after.

Even if we are bottom of the ladder.

El Diablo 14. There's a name. I get that you can't afford to go...... but you spend the better part of three hours bagging the Melbourne Football Club., post after post after post. Almost without exception, every post take pot shots at players, coach and club. I don't think you should pay for a membership 'next and the next after' as the Dees don't appear to bring you any joy.

Kozzie has all the tell tale signs of having a newborn. 

Very under appreciated factor in the footy landscape - majority of players lose 20-30% output at least in the first 6-9 months

Melksham was very oddly the exception to this rule

I am only commenting on what I could see and hear on the TV. That's why I asked people here on DL who may have been present at the G.

Yeah, not having a crack at you ElDiablo. Just saying I can’t stand it when people have a go at the supporters that do show up.

It is weak.

Good to see Petty get more involved and clunking a couple of his marks. 
The wheel is turning.

I'll say it now, they also won't show up to the port or gws games at a minimum

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
