Billy the work experience kid would get nominated amongst that rabble!

If we tie with either Saints or GWS we go though as we beat them both!

That free and 50 to Crisp was a disgrace

The Nibbler celebration was an obvious homage to Angus. A nice touch I thought.

Nope, but someone has to speak for them so it may as well be me!

(Rugby league ...)

What they are saying now: The umpires were paid to give an armchair ride - what happened in the second half? That guy who lifts his leg shoulda got a 100m penalty when that other guy lifted his leg I dont understand. What happened? That was BS, we should have got a 6 again in the last few minutes.

Great game. Gotta be in line for the nomination this week

Who is the guy in the red t-shirt?

The MFC are absolutely ruthless. They take my money every year and give me nothing back without blinking!

We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle. They were in decent form and we were trash. We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse. Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.

We should win this, but..... being a demons supporter is a hard barrow to push. i want to see if: we are the dumbest midfield in the comp. with this raw talent, why are we 18th for clearances? we can 2 two things in a game. Defend when we need to and attack when we can. The bs that won us the saints game (dragging them down to our putrid level) needs to stop. we can find any system to make the forward line work. Delivery and honouring forward targets a bit might help kozzi can play the game he is in, not the highlights reel in his head? baker can show something joel Smith can look like a footballer. we can do enough to prolong the pain for one more week.... dees by 34. Or maybe not. Beer, tears then the tour, anybody?

What is Gil saying?

Games are so low scoring. Is it the poor conditions or is the game just becoming a sump? Not attractive for viewers this ping pong and grind.

Ok, my bad. Seemed like we were fishing a little close to the stormwater outlet...

Smith..multiple concussions and wanted to sue the AFL re brain injury? Is he father of Joel? Did he bag out the club for its management of his son? Hmmm.... would he be the best choice for president????

Commentator bingo: When Baker gets an injury, which commentator is going to say “he looks a little ginger”......

And we double suck in comparison, but I don’t disagree.....

Looking at the Saints, we sure dont look like we deserve to be there. Gonna need to be a revolution in our game style for us to even make it, let alone trouble anyone.

It’s not his hat he has to pull something out of....

The biggest change needs to be in our approach. We changed our plan to beat the saints, and gave up our natural approach. We had no system to attack in the following two games. Need to select a more attacking team (starts with being able to hit a target and a willingness to take the game on), then get them to have a crack. Dour defense only strangled the Saints, but cost us against the Swans and the Dockers. Need players that will do this. I see us finishing 9th. So lets just have a crack with some we want to have a look at at this level. TMAC out to pasture and a long preseason to prep.

Goodwin got the team to go away from the core ‘brand’ and play ugly vs the saints. It worked and we won. I think the club have then rushed to the next two games without a fundamental reset - we played both the Swans and the Dockers with an ugly football style that works against run and gun teams (like Saints) but plays straight into the swans and the dockers. Not sure who we put this on - coach or players? Coach asked them at half time to stop being boring and at no time did they cut angles, move the game on with speed or act with any daring. All of the things that worked for us now worked against us. We were slow by hand and foot, we were rushed and turned it over. We avoided the contest in favour of protecting grass. We didnt trust our teammates and relied on individual efforts that were completely disconnected from everything else. We made 7 changes and bought in guys who had no exposure to high level footy in 8 months. Melk on Fyfe was a good move. Got Melk involved more, and limited Fyfe’s output. Tommo on Hogan worked well. So some good coaching planning. I think this one was lost above the shoulders by the group after the saints game. Going to need to do a hard reset before GWS or we will see the same dross again.

Demonland meltdown excuses and bs.

Disgusting. Honestly, they are an absolute rabble. Gotta cool off before I post any analysis, but we are absolute fools supporting this mob.

Our disposal is completely unacceptable. Looks like we try to go boundary throw in to boundary throw in. They move it freely, we are fumbly and second rate. Lucky to be so close. Second half is make or break, boys!
