The ghosts of the 2023 finals series return

Our goal kicking is deplorable

Hopeless

Umps will shut us out now

Isn’t it funny how most weeks our opposition are complete sharp shooters and never miss, we are bloody cursed when it comes to goal kicking

You gotta give up something to get something.

We have enough tall defenders to cover Disco.

I'd send him forward and see what he can bring.

We aint winning this without kicking straight from here

 

Dominating inside 50s and can't kick a goal, Turner will be moved forward with 5 minutes left with the game out of reach

Is putrid too strong a word for this mish-mash of dropped marks, fumbles, wayward kicks and woeful defence?

Cursed - no. Just can’t be bothered working on it.

We look way too lethargic to mount any serious challenge

 

Too many dumb decisions, too many missed goals, too often. Agonising to watch our defence do so much right, only to have our forward play be so poor. Sparrow's kick just then - case in point.

Sparrow shocking disposal.

we can be so very annoying

1.4 for a dominant qtr.

and we’ve gone backwards on the scoreboard.

Do we want to win??

Same old story.

I’m so over watching this team kick themselves out of games. It’s boring.

Boring is one word. [censored] infuriating is another.

Is Chocco in charge of skills?

He has been bleeding us dry for years filling up his superannuation fund.

And the May-Lever dynamic duo is long gone, both way past their best.

We are where we are on the ladder because we aren’t that good. Simple. Mid range AFL team.

Because we are kicking from congested forward line and pushed out to the pockets while they are taking shots from the goal square.


So much of our game today is just not AFL standard - skills and effort

 

When are the coaches going to admit we have a serious problem with accuracy?

We are going to kiss any chance of finals goodbye because we can’t kick straight against a bog ordinary Saints side

  • 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.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    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.
