Sorry chap. played the game and have watched it for a tick over 46 years, just don't look for mistakes, which happen to the best, as long as they are kept to a minimum during a game. 

There were a lot more important on field issues in the last couple of years than skill errors

Can I ask seeing, that you opened the door, have you ever played, did you miss a kick, handball, tackle?....I did.

 

D 

Yes I have played, but just because some people played the game or watched the game doesn't mean they understand it and clearly you fit in that category, if you cannot admit faults whether in football or life you cannot improve as a person as life goes on, same in football Stevie wonder could see our midfield was one paced and lacked skills and the forward line was a shambles, but were a contested based team but the game moved forward we stayed the same.

Goodwin over the last two years has said the forward line was a problem but other that throwing Turner down there nothing really changed but I admit the ball movement didn't help and that's on Goodwin his gameplan, I suspect next year it will change and if it does, does that means there was a fault in his game plan.

Mistakes happens in games it is a fast pace game, but when players cannot kick a 20 metre pass low and miss by a metre then that is a fault, when we kick high passes when transferring a ball instead of hard and low so the next player can move the ball on quickly instead of waiting that is a fault, instead of making forward run to ball on a lead we bombed it in again that is a fault as i said big difference between watching a game and understanding a game.

Oh sorry, didn't realise I was communicating with the only poster on Demonland who understands footy. As if.

Gameplan, you have 6 forwards in the game and one on the bench, how different do you want that to be?

How would you, the expert, have changed it, personnel? please explain.

Same with the midfield, you need a lot of rotations through there these days, unfortunately due to injury etc we had to rotate 'rookies' in experience,  through there, how would you have changed it, please explain.

How has the game moved forward, there are no contests now, yet the recruiters are salivating on the next draft crop, because the top end is full of contested ball beasts, sorry I don't understand that, please explain.

Oh Jesus I don't believe I have to answer this just proves what I have been saying about understanding football, what to you think happens if 6 forwards are all together leading together boundry side in a pack and we don't have big pack markers like abblett, Carey etc because of the game plan there is no forward spread getting guys like fritta, kossie on a one on one or alone, allowing all forwards to be up end of the ground so when there is a turnover all forwards are to high up thus leaving backman all alone have you not seen that time and again?

I have already said we are one paced lack of skills lack of outside run and pace, that's where the game changed from 21 get the pill and get it outside of the contest and run that's where it's heading.

As for the next crop I don't know anything about them and will leave that to others to talk about but I think they will go with pace and skill.

We have the bones to go again we just need to put some skin on those bones to improve and will be stunned if Goodwin stays with the same game plan next year.

I might add I suspect Trac will spend more time forward that midfield next year and I suppose some of that will come down on how the injury has affected him body wise.

 Judd appears about the same size as last season.

So am I . . . and that's the problem.

My impression is that most of them are looking lighter in the upper-body and skin folds are minimal. Hoping it relates to a faster game speed from us.

Judd was looking spindly. His arm, maybe longer 😄.

Saty, it's good that you are back posting.

But, respectfully, it'd be great if you give the conflict a rest.

I get your frustration with various silly comments. But much of that is just people trolling looking for someone to bite.

And you often bite.

Which of course is your perogrative. But to be honest it becomes tedious when the back and forth clog up threads - and it obscures the interesting things you post.

I've seen this movie before.

Last time I asked you a variation of above you responded along the lines that you will continue to bite. And if I don't like it dont read it.

I responded that sure, that is your right, but that doing so is really just another type of trolling ie winding up the trolls and giving them oxygen.

Ultimately I took your advice and put you on ignore because who can bothered with reading grown adults bickering. 

I took you off ignore, and hope to continue to do so because I enjoy your footy focused posts.

Jesus forgot he was a walloper I remember a picture of him in uniform.

My old man used to drive us past him so we we could yell Go Demons. Our Grandma lived nearby.

Can’t believe we are into the first week of preseason and you’re already in with the negativity. Let’s just enjoy the fresh start ..new coaches ..admin ..players etc before the nit picking starts. That’s why it’s important to have posters like WCW post about preseason training. That’s where we will see changes to the game plan etc. Pointless procrastinating about it now .

It’s become more of a mas-debate now D3165. So you are on your own now.

That's no problem with me I'm glad I'm not a sycophant..I will also say this if you cannot add to the debate with a point of view, say you disagree because of such and such and that's fine that's called discussion.

Interested to see when Spargo makes it back on the track

I had entirely forgotten about Spargo.   IF FIT I just wonder where he will fit in and who are his positional rivals.

So people with different views are not encouraged, you just call them trolls because you don't want to debate or present an alternative view to discuss, this is the problem with this forum alternative debate in not encouraged by people some just want everyone singing from the same book.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
