He just doesn't read the moment...living on hope.

A good coach needs to pull the levers quickly !

He doesn't...That's bad!!!!

He doesn't read the comments on 'Land either.

    Just listened to 35 minutes of so of the Deebrief podcast on the Dees v Hawks games. I think the passion shines through, but I think the boys might have been on the beers before the pod. It’s like being in the pub talking about the footy with mates.

    I think Naughtsie had a run sheet but it went off course quickly when the umpiring was raised. They were actually a little restrained. The umpiring was a [censored] [censored] [censored] disgrace !!!

    Because crud umpiring generates controversy and gets the fans emotional which all leads to interest in the sport. And then they can mysteriously assist some teams.

    It is clear from the fixturing, the special games etc etc, that the AFL does not care about building a fair competition but is mainly interested in building an empire.

    On the Kozzie trip - OK, maybe 4 umpires didn't see it and they assumed he tripped over his own feet or a paticularly thick blade of grass. But why no review or a dangerous act? Beyond outrageous.

    At a very crucial stage of the game too was that non call.

    Do we need six umpires fgs.

    Do umps get dropped?

    They should have a tribunal for them.

    Now that would make footy interesting.

    Id watch my non favourite umps get four weeks for bias or stupidity. Or in this case both.

    An absolute shocker.

    I reckon those things can be demoralizing for players and it would be difficult not to get frustrated and angry.

    I know mistakes happen but I don't think I've seen many worse.

    There was that non call on a Dob out of bounds at a Crows game a few years back.

    And in 2021 some mug called us out for a Dob in the last h and a game v the cats when our player was racing against the clock to simply get the ball forward.

    Not that I hold grudges or anything on these matters.

    But Sheesh.

    some stats for those interested re the Hawks. Hawthorn again won the free kick count last night but have not lost the free kick in EVERY game this year only tieing with us last week ironically.

    They are now +60 free kicks for the year. you read correctly +60. how is noone writing about this ? that is more than an anomaly.

    Mitchell says they will do things differently under his coaching. Nope that is exactly the same as under Clarko, build from the outside in, get good kickers and make up for lack of inside beasts using 'other ways' to win the contest.

    I watched the GCS game and I thought Hawks had a lot of throws that got through.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
