Howes is weak at the contests.

He is, but Freo’s smalls weapon is their run and pace more than contest. If we can’t even pick up their runners we are no chance to ever force contests.

To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50

Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards 

Just kick for goal or the boundary line if there were no forwards. He was stupid kicking laterally and then turning it over. Absolutely nuts!


14-0 clearances. Have we ever seen a worse midfield performance under Goodwin?

Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game. 

It's a scandal. Monstered at VFL level. Some on these boards think 'Fullo' is the real deal. Laughable if it wasn't embarrassing.

    Langdon sticks out because he covers the ground like the Freo mids. 

    Our spread is almost as bad as our clearance work.

    This loss will come down to Goodwins stubborn REFUSAL to play a Ruckman!

    Go Dees

    The pessimists are out again. Have some belief.

    At least when we are losing there is more reading on this forum. 

    If we get our system going can you all keep posting as I only have the radio. 

    Go Dees.

    This is a coaching disgrace. You can’t do the exact same thing and expect a different result. 

    There's plenty of footy to play but we sure make it hard for ourselves.

    And the Petty obsession continues 3 months on from the Rnd 5 debacle. 

    Not Petty's fault either.  That part's all on SG


    Shambolic.

    If Goodwin persists with the lunacy of (mis)using Petty in the ruck this will end up as a 100-point demolition.

    Sparrow and Bowey, among others, might as well have stayed in Melbourne for all they have brought to the game so far.

    Goodwin looks lost.

    Well done to Caleb Windsor for showing some initiative by switching the play which resulted in us going end to end in 20 seconds. This is why Fremantle aren’t a top 4 side, and a premiership threat. They play to percentages, and will always beat us as we are too predictable. We need to take more risks and force the game. Even if it means we could lose by 10 goals. 

    Not fussed if Petty moves on.

    Thanks for the memories.


    Chin's decision making and disposal is atrocious so far

     

    Windsor could’ve saved southgates job with soccer skills like that

    • 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.
