Putrid Horrible

DEES 57. Bombers 96. 

It’s ok We will take learnings from this loss just like every other loss.

3 goals in three quarters. Should learn you that does c not win many games. To I think we got close at one stage shows how bad those scum are.

 

I think that will be the last time I'll tip us for the season. Lucky we're going to get an amazing pick. with our No.1 pick this year. Oh wait!

Sadly 10 minutes of team football combined with poor tactics in the first half is not good enough, People are lamenting May and Gawn mistakes, but in the scheme of things it would not have made a difference for those couple fo goals.

The team tactically and physically have not been prepared for this season to compete for 4 qtrs.

I switch off with 5 to go, so I didn't see the player post siren reactions this week.

Do yourself a favour and get to our home game aganst West Coast at Marvel in round 21.

Will likely be our only win for the year.

Very optimistic.

 

Goody should've been sack when he lost to the Eagles by 6 goals in Perth. Haven't been the same since. You just know he will come out and say we've improved in his press conference and "we have enormous belief in our plan and have a desire to get better". Just bin him for the love of god.

Post North after Chandler kicked 3 goals and all his defenders came rushing out I said he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games (and if he did I'd donate 50$ to charity). He kicked 1 and was a passenger again. This is our problem. So many sub standard players that rode on the back of the elite guys.

Trac missed that sitter to get it back to 10 then they just kicked on & we gave up 2 junk time goals

Was that the difference in the game? No.


Fair dinkum the club are gaslighting us or even just being straight up dishonest to us about the connection and ‘love’ they have.

Something feels amiss and broken.

It’s starting to feel disingenuous.

Time for big balls and big calls. The damage that zero change is causing to this football club is catastrophic.

Last week Goodwin banged on about not just wanting to get better…

Were we better tonight, or less than that?

I’m genuinely somewhat intrigued by what he’ll say tonight. But I don’t have the fortitude to watch it. I’m sorry. It’ll be some [censored] that will make my heart sink and blood boil at the same time.

The captain telling me, still, the Titanic is not sinking, even though we’re up to our necks…

A few good signs, probably all we can expect for the moment.

Decent performance across the ground, marred by a few costly errors (May and Gawn dropped marks), the younger players struggling a bit, Windsor hasn't been himself since returning, Langford can't handball to save himself, Lindsay getting too easily out-bodied, etc. etc. But tackles, clearances, contested possessions all trending in the right direction.

However: This was supposed to be the breakout year for JVR, unfortunately it's close to his worst. Add the injury to Jefferson, Johnson not there yet (if he'll ever be?), and Fullarton improving but ???, and we have a forward line that is a long way off kicking enough goals.

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

Totally agree with that. When Fritsch kicked that goal you would have thought we were 10 goals up. It give an insight into his thinking.

Whoever played on Menzie should be embarrassed

Sparrow. Probably.

I am devastated about watching Kozzy play for another club.

We're a step closer to a new coach I guess.

The sooner the better.

Ahh yes ... That familiar feeling of utter despair watching this club self destruct.
The veil of negativity is like a warm blanket.


So depressing that we will most likely be bottom 4 and we won’t even have our natural 1st round draft pick. Least Lindsay and Langford look good.

But our method is broken and our talent forward of the ball is not good enough

 

I’m 48. I was there in 1988 and 2000… And the Neeld era. But I’ve never been so depressed as an MFC supporter… Maybe my age is showing.

I’ve been on the fence but I think I’m on the “move Goody on” train. Too much talent out on the park to be playing this badly.

FWIW… I think the lads had a good crack.

And Menzie would have to be the biggest list clogger in the AFL. Doesn’t say too much about our backline, does it?

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
