Tom Sparrow… 50 minutes time on ground for 2 touches, two tackles, one mark and one free against.

    I haven't watched much of this game, but just reading everyone's comments I think it suffices to say the players don't care about their coach anymore. Just look at their half efforts.

    F’ing unbelievable, another 2 goal half and Goodwin can’t see the need to change anything. Totally disgraceful coaching.

    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.

    Legitimately thought things couldn’t get any worse and we have around a 65-70% chance to get a win tonight such is the defensive vulnerabilities of *, but we genuinely might not get a win until West Coast in 3 weeks time.

    To look so unthreatening against * is just absolutely shocking.

    someone needs to make a call

    Goodwin gone or Trust Goodwin and trade Oliver petty Petracca

    Probably lose JVR Lindsey Langford Windsor

    Pickett gone

    I mean why would these guys stay

    I wouldn’t

    Club is a basket case

    The Age

    This should be posted on the walls of the Dees training ground

    They have no marks inside 50. It’s as though they come to training in whatever gear they want to wear and muck around."

    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.

    Yep Langers only one who has maintained his levels.

    full external review end of season

    Public

    No holds barred

    Top to bottom

    How did this happen and who is responsible

    A review was done, yet with Pert who’s no longer there! A club without a permanent President, CEO .. nothing against Green… but it’s time for Goody & a list mgt shake up … to have basically no talls in the Fwd line us a joke after 3 years of winning a flag , Goodwin has completely unwound the foundations of contest & defence set by Roos ..I’d be surprised if trac dosent request a trade.

    If time travel was possible, I wouldn’t want to go back to 2012 or 2013…. But apparently I have.

    Why would anyone back Goodwin?

    Maybe they should listen to the fugazi (white noise) during the week, take note of what’s said outside the bubble.

    Clearly listening and tapping inside the bubble isn’t working.

    This is what happens when you drink your own bath water.

    Time has come for change.

    At this rate, would be very lucky to get 50,000 Anzac Eve.

    Goodwin has lost me

    but players like trac, clarry, fritsch petty need to take a look in the mirror.

    a team with 15 premiership players should not be this bad irrespective of who the coach is. shameful effort

    I can see the changes for next week

    IN: Jeffo, Fullerton, Disco

    Unless Jeffo has recovered from his hand injury he won't be in. Fullerton can kick another 10 in the next 3 game and he won't get a game because Goody hates him for some reason, Disco might get a chance.

    We are not winning against West Coast, no chance in hell.

    18 more weeks of this debacle. Are we officially in crisis? Goodwin must go now!

    I didn't buy the love in stuff for a second. This place is rotten .

    The "love" mantra is a crock of [censored]. We've [censored] ourselves royally. After 2021 we talked ourselves up as a dynasty in the making. Hubris exploded with that rearward looking GF MCG big screen replay event during the 2022 preseason. We had the 2022 Entrecote debacle, rumours of off field issues, etc. Signs of resentment building, and no wonder. Imagine being a broad number of our mid-tier premiership players negotiating contracts and being told that the salary cap was tight, while they look across to millin-dollar mids either going off the rails or cracking the sads and getting Presidents and CEOs sacked.

    No wonder we have a field of players with no unity or system or trust or confidence.

    And don't get me started on the osteopath cosplaying as Burgess in our fitness dept.

    And he’s not the worst !! Tagging role.

    Henderson. Spargo. Melksham. Casey next week!!! They offer NOTHING

     

    Just devoid of hope at this point. It’s like in trying to adopt a new gameplan which doesn’t suit our players, we’ve forgotten all the things we did well. Now we don’t do them, and can’t do any kind of gameplan.

    very dispiriting to watch.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
