Nothing I’ve seen today says we are any good. No connection, no passion and sadly no skill.

 

That feeling when you win the qtr by 2 points. Especially when you’re just kicking points.

2 goals in a half, in such a dreary, boring gameplay is not going to put/keep bums on seats. What exactly is the plan here?? Going out a win against the Suns at our own home ground? With points?

What are we doing?

Where is this team going??????

At the vane pathetic! Goodwin has destroyed this team

Just too close to the players. They like him but no way they respect him. Would love him to prove me wrong.

Effort and intensity is there. Ball movement, skills, kicking are just Truly horrible… how we’re just 17 down is a miracle. On the cards they open this up at some point and win by 60 plus.


Still waiting for this theory that we tactically managed our fitness so we could out run the Suns today to come to fruition

 

How can you accept a pay cheque for halfa million dollars a year, then proceed to miss simple set shots?

Absolute mercenaries this lot.

Frittata’s saving grace was his set shock kicking ….. does he have any now? Very sad.

Diabolical footy, but that was a more even quarter. Bowey and Langford have been fantastic. Desperate for a spark.

The fact we are only 3 goals down is a [censored] miracle. If only someone in the rooms knows how to flick the on switch at half time


When players continually fumble simple passes, kick aimlessly and miss tackles, it's not the coach's fault.

Whatever tactics are employed, multiple players who can't get the basics right will lose matches.

And that's where we are right now.

We are officially a basket case

I know I said this earlier but I’ll say it again. Bowey had the ball across half back, everyone was just walking, no one ran to provide a lead or create space for another player. This has got NOTHING to do with the fact we are missing a couple of players.

Unbelievably we are still in this game.

We need to run as hard during the game as when heading to the interchange.

Too many "Hail Mary's".


2.9 at Halftime

Why would anyone want to watch that, or be expected too

Time to make changes MFC… this week

How was Langford not deemed good enough to get a gig last week!

"Hoh boy, I've got the ball!

I'm going to forget our past 36 months of footy and just KICK IT forward without looking where I'm kicking it!"

 

We are in a serious funk. I don’t think we can play any worse.

We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - it’s between the ears now.

All the signs of a team that will go through a full rebuild, reminds me of wc in 2022, lot of premiership players still there but fallen off badly

  • 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.
