At the ground and it’s bad. Really bad. The spirit of this team is broken.

This seems to be the issue, P-Man. That deep hunger and drive that makes us want to play and support footy appears to be totally absent now. Our spirit is probably best defined by Fritsch who looks lazy, disinterested, and indifferent.

 

It's half time. we cant score.

I would expect to see some major changes to our structure to try and score. We cannot contest anywhere in the air.
If they dont, then there is no hope with this coaching group.

Disgrace that Fullerton isn’t playing. No one in the forward line can take a mark.

Fullerton’s 5 goals didn’t come from contested marks. Good decision not to pick him.


I think we now know why Nathan Bassett and Nathan Jones joined the coaching staff.

Coz everybody else stood clear of the joint or Goody didn't want to be over ruled with cold hard facts.

nope they have disappeared no surprises, i was one of the first to bring this up got absolutely abused for it


We have a coach with no clue and experienced players with no care. I am not usually a sack the coach guy but he is lost as are they. Whilst at it Oliver and Fritsch both need to be ommitted and traded at years end. The jogging away from contests and watching players run away from them continues to occur. Why? Because they keep getting gifted games and their mates in Spargo and Melksham come in with no form or many clear attribute they bring to the team. This is worse than Neeld era football because the names on the park are so much more capable but lack and understanding what to do and a want to do it at 100%.

Well our forward line of midgets isn’t the answer

Had one strong contested mark and goaled. Others from leading for the footy. That’s more than what we see tonight.

That’s why. They’re in the changerooms….


Insipid. That is all I have to say.

I don't want to get in trouble but this team is [censored] right now and no amount of knight in shining armour positive Demonland grandstanding losers can tell me otherwise. If you played this game tonight 10 times I'd say at least 8 of them would go exactly the same way. We fall into the trap of thinking a new week brings new hope and promise to turn things around but none of that happens right now, there is no hope. We have come out 4 weeks in a row as limp as a charity wristband and it takes 5 minutes to register a tackle. The ball bobbles everywhere like we've never touched a footy before and the opposition's uncontested possession count goes up like an odometer. Why should we even turn up next week? There's no evidence at all that it will change.

6 smalls in a forward 50 is almost a sackable offence. We have no idea how to stop the slow and patient ball movement and this was the best you could come up with?

Great coaching from Scott getting Setterfield to man up Oliver at stoppages. Setterfield might be best on ground right now.

Sparrow is living up to his moniker of 100 games without a Brownlow vote, no-where to be seen. Fritsch can't get near it. Chandler, Spargo, Henderson useless.

7.4% inside 50 efficiency. That's 2 goals from 27 I50s. And for you umpire fans guess what? We lead the free count 10-5.

We stink, no-one knows what they're doing. Good luck.

The sad thing is. We have Tracc, Pickett, Windsor, JVR, Clarry, Rivers, Langford, Lindsay.

We're going to [censored] them all up.

JVR will be a Jessie Hogan at another club.

I love you all

Just now, Superunknown said:

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

Why would anyone back Goodwin?

Just now, BDA said:

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

Maybe they are waiting for the new coach? Not the first time I would see a playing group giving up on their coach.

Are you trying to be provocative. What couldn’t do better than Henderson, Spargo, Melksham, Fritta?


Just saw some vision of all of our forwards sitting together talking. Wonder what they are taking about?

Putting my 2 boys to bed both crying how [censored] we are.... so depressing ffs show some fight and man up, and if we loose at least make it hard for them to win

Who’s the striker and who is the goalie at the next training session.

Thank god Eagles are in it. Maybe our only win for year.

I have serious doubt we’d be able to beat them either. In fact I’d say we are dead set favourites not to win a game this year.

The players the coaches should be all hauled in front of the members for a please explain. This is diabolical l. We were promised this type of nose dive wouldn’t happen again let alone with 15 premierships players on our list.

This is shaping up to be another forgotten era. 10 years before we become competitive again.

We're actually becoming an embarrassment to the AFL.

There's been some ripping games across this round but we are just dragging it down.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
