POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs 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.

    Shocking last 10 minutes, the whole review should be about that.

    Mentally went to sleep, unacceptable.

    When Gawn retires we are proper****ed.

    Arrogant coaching by Goodwin for taking Gawn off.

    Awful finish and now only few positives to come out after what was heading towards a really strong win.

    Meh.

    Our forward line remains an issue but our midfield looked much better in that second half.

    Gawn and Bowey were awesome tonight.

    Not a great first half, in great part because we were getting very little from Trac, Clarry and Kozzie. No surprise that things turned with a big second half from each of them. Maxy was huge.

    Disappointing way to end the game, some useful % wasted.

    Anyway, happy for the win, we continue to build some momentum. Over to the west to make amends for a bad loss last year!!!

    Will take the win of course but jesus that last quarter was frustrating. We really need to learn how to run out games properly if we want to have a decent number of wins.

    As far as individual highlights go, Gawn reminded everyone of how much of a champion he is and Bowey has officially won me over.

    Got the job done. Max was immense in the 3rd. Great signs from so many when the game was there to be won. Couldn't give a toss about the last 10 mins. Rather preserve max & may - marathon not sprint & all that.

    Good to get the win but our last quarter was PATHETIC.

    We need to fix this otherwise the better sides will roll us.

    Fritta is still a selfish player and should be better.

    Yep. Gawn is the GOAT for mine. The amount of wins he generates all over the ground has saved us for years. He papers over A LOT of cracks.

    We worked bloody hard to win the game

    Who cares if we took the foot off the pedal and rested our 33yo workhorse star

    We still won the game

    It’s OK to be happy guys

    6 goal swing there in the last QTR. We gifted them at least 3 goals and we missed at least 3.

    Yep, that last one Spargo all alone at goal square. Selfishness all around.

    Habits matter, % matters and we let a bad habit creep in and we lost valuable %.

    Happy we won of course, but as the players and coaches always say every moment matters.

    Top 5 worst games of AFL footy I’ve ever seen. From a Dees perspective, we’re very very ordinary of course, but without the best ruckman the game’s ever seen, I think we might be the worst team in the league. At the moment. Things can improve no doubt. And they will. Hopefully. 71,000 at the G, and they all should feel robbed.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
