Learn how to start a game Learn to kick goals Learn to crush opponents Learn to seal close games There - my application to take over the coaching job. Will accept $300,000 one year contract Sadly, the entire team on and off field, Max included, just panicked under pressure.

Probably, though can it be worse than the current swill of human intelligence ru(i)nning our club?

Surely more mental than physical. How can that be rectified ?

¾ time yesterday “sorry you can’t be here to witness this great victory “

One thing that really p’d me off in his press conference was him harping on about close game scenarios - this was anything but a close game at ¾ time yet he couldn’t didn’t explain why the wheels fell off to make it a close game. Will we ever be able to trust this mob again under the same management on and off field? I can’t.

Thanking you all, binman, Andy, George for your tireless efforts, quite unlike our playing and off field team. I started post match being angry, but that quickly morphed into incredulity- did I see what I saw? It took me back to maybe 1991 v EssenDrug when I recall we lead by a similar margin at ¾ ,then kicked an early goal but got run over. It seriously took me years to trust the team to win from a big lead, and then they put on this over an inconsistent cr@p team!! I cannot trust this team, this club anymore. Deer in the headlights stuff. Shameful. Others have asked my question - is there a sports psychologist at our mess of a club? If not, why not? If so, why is he / she / it not given marching orders, tonight? I believe we have 3 more MCG games. I am so shattered that I don’t think I will be able to attend, or even watch. This club has destroyed my faith.

Why a monumental 💩show. 6 Max 5 Viney 4 Pickett 3 Bowey 2 Fritsch 1 Rivers

Today’s capitulation was not physical fitness, it was 99% psychological weak mindedness. An ex Japanese POW teacher in my youth used to refer to people who give up as having low moral fibre which I believe to be an old military expression. I would be interested to hear from anyone who observes ¾ time huddles - was Goodwin animated or being best mates with the players self congratulating for a job well done?

After today’s shameless capitulation maybe 2026 will see a precipitous drop off.

WTF free in the middle?

Clueless maggots

I changed to ABC radio but that was just as bad. AFL National has Ox ho is pretty fair - he did have a bit of a go at JVR’s dropped mark. Hey Ox - how about dropping down to training and offer a hand to the club that gave you the opportunity to achieve fame??

Very big of you

Spending some time as a tall defender probably helps forwards understand their role a bit better - one David Neitz starts as a defender (I think he actually was AA).

Does that just exemplify the difference between human and artificial intelligence?

Who runs our appeal (if it happens)? Anyone half competent this time? What an awfully run competition we have. As others have said, many used to watch multiple games a weekend but now watch only Dees games. FFS I used to often go the 2 or 3 MCG games a weekend (MCC member) but cannot stand the corruption and now don’t even follow scores of most games.

Nothing mystifying about Magpies Gleeson and Christian screwing us.

Is Max Viney still involved in tackling and grappling sessions?

Apart from impeding his performance, it also puts his health at risk. People do drop dead when pushing to extremes with viral infections. Not a smart decision by whomever ultimately made it. As for players saying "I am ok", didn't Brett Mooney say the same in 186?

I have said before. I would rather be the optimist who is sometimes wrong than the pessimist who is always right.

Can anyone seriously think that Michael Christian is NOT biased? Moore assaulted the Docker, lying on the ground, with his full weight via his knees. We have already seen him nearly kill one player, and this, with the opponent fixed on the ground could have been even worse. Yet MC says nothing to see!! I wonder how he would view it if say a Daicos were to suffer a severe injury from a solid knee to the body, like in the Petracca case, or even worse in this week's one? IF the AFL continue to reappoint him they clearly have an agenda.

Filthy* has made amazing progress given that he has yet to do a full preseason. Like others I am ambivalent about him debuting this year. It would be a great achievement but I would be concerned were he to be told that there were low expectations. Every player every game must go in with high expectations. Would he gain more if he helped Casey into finals and even share in some finals victories? *as in filthy luker PS I am a true believer

And don’t forget Kicking in front of a leading player, though I guess that would have to come after the make a lead session. Seriously why should professional players need to be taught this? I remember having a kick with my then 8yo son making him lead before I would kick it in front of him. And I was not a high achiever having just reached VAFA U19 at my peak.

Refreshing. Is this the longest thread we have had on Demonland largely disparaging a second year player who had an incomplete preseason due to injury? 14 pages

Hope the press ghouls were not there. Prepare for headlines about deep divisions and disrespect for the captain 🙄
