Smelling like a 10 goal loss. Also, my statement post Chandler's 3 goal game against North was that he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games. He has kicked... checks notes.... 1. Why do we have small forwards that can't average more than a goal a game getting a kick?

    Skill errors almost unbelievable for an AFL team.

    But the good news is that we have only three problems to fix:

    1. A dysfunctional defence.

    2. A lacklustre midfield.

    3. A non-existent forward line.

    Let’s face it we are never going to stop bombing it in. Knowing that wtf is Goodwin doing playing a forward line full of midgets. Might as well play disco roo Aidan johnson and jeffo so we have a chance

    i'm a perceptive supporter not a 'die hard' because why would i die hard when they persisted with Goodwin when it was clear that he was not allowing the best of our players. we recruited Nate Jones of all people to coach, with no coaching credentials, purely on sentiment, and we arguably did the same with Brad Green.
    When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

    I don't wish to pile [censored] on Melbourne, but I'm trying to have a perceptive and critical discussion about it.

    Unfortunately for you I have developed a soft spot for Collingwood because even though many of they're supporters are horrible, the club has a spirit that wouldn't allow pure sentiment to cloud their vision for their prosperity and the welfare of the players.

    That being said, my line of reasoning is much more caring to our players than supporters who just say "great we have Nate Jones coaching and Goodwin still there, fantastic!" without seeing how catastrophic this has been for the welfare and prosperity of kids like Petracca and the younger echelon of Rivers etc. who are trying to live full and unhindered footballing careers

    You Go Away, youve probably got no guts to stand up for what this club needs.

    If you have a “soft spot” for Collingwood you can F off now Sunshine.

    I am not interested in your philosophical rants…

    Given our fourth quarter drop offs, we could be looking at a very ugly margin.

    Can't even begin to comprehend how badly we are going to get smashed by freo next week.

    Goodwin has killed this team. Purely in a football context (not personally) I hate everything about him.

    2nd

    🤮Spargo 3 missed tackles

    🤮Bowey spare. Ridley spare. Bombers uncontested marks in defence

    🤮chip chip chip chip TURNOVER

    🤮Spargo setup Langdon for ko

    🤮fumbles and fumbles and fumbles

    🤮. Inside50s 27. Goals 2. 7%

    🤮Spargo metres gained 50

    ⭐️Langdon 17 disposals 6 contested possessions 1 goal 8 marks


    Total lack of basic skills with the exception of 2 or 3 players.

    The forwards lack any structures to play too and the coaches look to have no idea of what to do.

    I just witnessed the most uninspiring quarter of footy I've seen in my life.

    No spirit, no drive of the half back line, no marking ability.

    This is unbelievable.

    There is no passion, no fire, no confidence, no fire in the belly. And I can't see who in our team can spark it. Max is toiling hard, but where do we lift from? Can we?

    This is horrible, so sad how low we have fallen in a relatively short space of time.

    They have somehow completely lost confidence or something is terribly wrong behind the scenes .

    Our forwards refuse to lead and prefer to wrestle.

    West coast and Richmond would beat us at this stage. WTF ??

    I want answers not small talk from the coach and club.

    15 Premiership players we've got out here tonight.

    That is very depressing isn't it? Goodwin has wasted these talented players. No game plan whatsoever! Seeing them play this way reminds me of going to watch all those Neeld games. Breaks my heart.

    We played Roo, Jeffo and AJ in week 1. Kicked our highest score for the year and only got rolled by 3 points and unlucky to lose that. Imahine if we had of had Kozzie in we would have won easily. Since then we've continually dropped a tall each week until now we are down to 1 (Jeffo is still injured in believe?), Melksham still getting a game for some unknown reason and the other two talls in Fullarton and AJ can't get a game because.... Goody?

    I can see the changes for next week

    IN: Jeffo, Fullerton, Disco

    JvR being set up for failure.

    Langdon can hold his head up high.

    This season has quickly devolved from me being hopefully of a win in most games we play to just being interested in the young players development. Sad.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
