In all seriousness, without carrying on, if this happens again next week is Goodwin gone?

Should be tonight…

    My 41 week pregnant GF in labour would be a better option of Half Back than Rivers or Salem at the moment.

    As they say, good delivery is all about knowing when to push forward with the momentum and knowing when to take the pressure off.

    Hopefully the labour doesn't result in the nightmare rip from hole to hole like today's game has.

    In a related note, the strange creature living in my wife's belly got more kicks during this game than most of the Demons did. Contrast couldn't be sharper because little one really lifted after half time.

    11-19 free kicks.. questionable frees. However we have been terrible. Fumbling all quarters.

    JFC the skills are just putrid.

    Reverse the jersey and that's a ballup.


    If we win a game this year I will be absolutely gobsmacked. There’s something terribly wrong with this team.

    I’m actually curious as to what Goodwin is going to say about this. You surely can’t dish out platitudes after THIS.

    Actually scratch that. He’ll talk about how good the Suns were and how we have to get better.

    It’s the senior players letting us down here.

    It's telling right? They don't believe or care for their coach.

    He should say I am resigning, but he won't. So time for the club to man up and sack.

    feels like Melbourne pre Peter Jackson and Paul Roos.

    Anyone else reckon Aiden Johnson can play,??dreadful, dropped chest mark,Slow!

    There’s no leadership though - how / who can make a call on the coach?

    The President is confirmed as only seeing out this season.

    We have only an interim CEO with the new CEO to be confirmed in APRIL FFS.

    I wouldn't even say the suns pressure is elite but they are causing us to panick and become desperate with our disposals.


    A ten goal loss. Someone needs to answer to this.

     

    Just so many basic things we’re botching. Fumbles, tackles don’t stick…just not switched on and holding ourselves to high standards. Or even middling standards.

    Underwhelming Van Rooyen, junk time goal, see you at Slthera central next week with Johhno and Fritta

    • 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.
