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

    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."

    We could genuinely go through this year winless

    Imagine if that actually comes to fruition

    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.

    Gosh I'd love Garry just to tee off & just launch into us

    I’d let him loose in the change rooms.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
