This is a tad grim

 

This game day thread is a carbon copy of a in-season 2024 game day thread.

Unfortunately. 
 

Poor skills, poor conversion, lack of ball movement. 
 

The only slight difference I see is more chip and less long down the line.

    might get ugly

    Ooof

    I saw this twice last year. Don’t know I’m up for another episode.

    I’m a sucker for punishment so I’ll likely tune in for the first half of Q3 to see if Goody actually tries something different. But if no change I might turn this off and wait for the learnings. 

    Lame

    Those bemoaning lack of a new game plan...it's the cattle. 

    As soon as the ball is in motion we can't stop it because we are slow on every line. It's been happening for years. 

    We're a tough, slow team. We've never been a fast or skilful team, and unfortunately that's where the game has gone.

    Another year same old story, get no reward up fwd and get burned on the rebound


    That effort by Salem in defence was weak.  Walters had all day.

    So I thought the game plan had changed, nothing I’ve seen has shown we have changed our games style 1%

    Still slow, still dump kick long, our early pressure kept us in this but this is putrid. 

    About to turn this off....

    Horrible, I know it's hot and we are playing in a country location but this is [censored] poor!


    Tell me please ,   has anything changed apart from the year ?

    If we are playing like this for the first ten or so rounds, it will be a very interesting watch to see how the club reacts. 

     

    Bad kicking aside, we are on track for allowing 30+ scoring shots against us. Not going to win many games of footy with that.

    Love how they flush just about every set shot & we absolutely butcher our chances time & time again. 

    Skill execution is still a major concern of ours. Don’t see how that changes any time soon.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
