POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon

1 good quarter

3 quarters of rubbish

Langdon played well. Fritsch for 5 minutes. A few others tried.

Its past the point of no return for goody. He deserves respect for breaking our drought but best for all concerned is a dignified exit by mutual consent. I hope the club do whats required.

And the players should not escape the blowtorch. Their efforts have been mostly pathetic this season.

    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.

    Many learnings however

    Footy games aren’t won on ONE good quarter. It’s not rocket science.

    Past the point of caring about this team.

    There can't be anyone sane supporting Goodwin now.

    I can’t stand rotations. Fritta gets some confidence back playing out of the goal square in the 3rd and jags a couple of quick ones then he’s taken off. Momentum stifled.

    Then he’s put up the ground again.

    Smashed. Again.

    But this time against a nowhere team.

    While a win here wouldn’t have said too much about what we’re capable of, it could have at least given us some hope.

    Turns out we don’t even have that…

    Might be time to make the ‘back to hell’ DVD because there are dark days ahead.

    Are we still learning and loving? 🤔

    That game was putrid at least Trac tried. Other than 21 it has been one disappointment after another. Constant let downs and an awareness we are heading south at a great rate of knots. We really can thank Paul Roos for building foundations which Goodwin has totally destroyed. He has to go.

    If anyone says anything about effort or not giving up then I'm out. I just can't right now, 15 premiership players and we're handing out participation ribbons against teams who aren't going to play finals.

    That was horrific. Essendon are garbage

    Time to start again. Goodwin has to go and we need a young current assistant who has learned under a Mitchell, Kingsley, McRae or Fagan

    I feel sad tonight. To see this team, with so many Premiership players still playing, playing with little spirit or intensity, poor skills, and the most dysfunctional forward line I have seen since the Neeld era.

    Study the 3rd quarter all week Johnathan Brown says. So study how to play against an opposition that's got a 5 goal lead and can afford to play as if they've got another quarter up their sleeve to relaunch their running+attack/uncontested mark game style?

    Fools gold. Players also celebrated those goals like they were up by 6 goals themselves. Embarrassing

    And the list needs a massive clean out and recast with some run and carry and players who can kick it and hit the side of a barn 8 out of 10 times

    That's the sad thing for me too.

    After the first quarter I found myself just not caring and starting to think of the other things I could be doing instead of watching.

    I'm guessing this is how the fair weather supporters feel and I'm not upset that i'm thinking of becoming one.

    Surely league footballers can think for themselves and press up to stop uncontested marks?

    May dropping a mark in the square and Gawn costing a couple of goals didn’t help either

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
