Weid should have run in and kicked that too easy to stuff it up !!

just terrible ! that last two minutes

I have a Country membership, so not a lot of money involved, no seat guarantee and no finals guarantee either. 2020 was a donation, I understand that, but I will not be renewing, until I know what games I can see in person or on my big screen. And what the timetable etc. is for 2021. Perhaps a big win today might help but I doubt it. The two games we lost recently, we just should not have lost. Extremely poor management somewhere. Good Luck to us today, Fuchias or the Demons ? I have no idea.

I have absolutely no idea whether Goodwin can coach at training or is a nice guy or an [censored] hole. But I do know that watching the Demons play I get mightily upset, and I pay membership for that privilege . I just hope that Goodwin gets involved with the Demons, and shows some of that emotional involvement, During the play on game day. And that its not "just" a job someone gave him a long contract to do, without any guarantee of success. Can some one tell me who will turn up to play this week Fuchia's Or DEMONS !!

In the Kossy run from half back, when vanders passed to Kossy, VDB then stepped between a running Mumford and Kossy, Mumford gave up the chase, was never going to catch him in any case. Then the Kossy hand pass to Weid then to Spargo for the goal I think. From the vanders hand ball the pressure was gone once Mumford conceded. But Kossy speed had them undone anyway.

I can remember David Schwarz used to play that way, towards the end of his playing days anyway. Four games, two very very good two very very terrible, my demons !!

I like it and I am not religious or a RC reject. But yes I feel our pain !

I have been asking myself the same question since 1966, once I was old enough to go to game by myself. Pity i missed watching from 55-64, bummer... cannot see myself changing now ! Go Dees

I watched on a very small screen. I understand that we lost and many here are critical of the players. Well I must say I don't think it was their problem, It was wet and we picked the wrong style of play for the night. The failure was from the Coaching side, the Selectors, the Football Department and anyone who did not think to look at the weather report in the paper or on your phone. We all have the rain radar app ! and the weather apps !! And picking 7 changes, no wonder we played average football. They should have been rotated a few games ago, not all at once. Its not whether they are AFL or VFL standard, they are what we have. But the management of these players and the older guys like Jones and Jetta, and even TMac, its abysmal. The strategy and direction of this group or who ever is charged with doing that work is where the problem lies. We have the talent we have the fitness, We don't have the FOOTBALL SMARTS, I guess that's where or what the learnings are. Need a freshen up for next couple of weeks. Any way not as upset as last week, but we still left the intensity and effort, FAR TOO LATE.

A lot of changes, good, but would it not have been better to rotate some of these players 3 rounds ago !! Seems like deckchairs on the Titanic doing it all at once, !

Question for anybody We are playing at Cazaly's stadium again, does that mean we stayed up in Cairns ? or did we fly back down then up again. How much did that cost compared to staying up there Does anyone know or even care anymore ?

If what you say is true, and I do not dispute it. then there is a clear responsibility on the football department and selectors to get the side fit, mentally right, energised, and ready to play. And not to play against a side that have had far longer Time to relax and prepare in place. Arguments should have been had with the AFL over this totally unfair or even playing field. out coached and out thought. Again. let alone playing a quarter and not scoring a goal!

Joeboy I can often find reason in your analysis, I can even reason against you. but tonight Joeboy. can only agree

If. They can pretend to Coach and the players pretend to care and play. I can pretend to care about the MFC. I think Goodwin has taken the team as far as he is capable. Thank you

Well good night children.....

Another quarter without a goal, how many more before Goody quits ?

It would be totally embarrassing beyond what I could stand if we made Finals and played like this !!

Noticed this thought he must have been off the ground then he was standing outside a scrum watching

Blimey I hate watching on a iphone screen !! at least i see it i suppose Go Dees

Just this totally agree

Parents from back then wanting to be "individuals" and not bound by society rules. or just smoking too much . Bit like the parents from the 70's i before e except after c

Well they were Collingwood highlights, so I would really hope so. Was watching myself and thinking where is our come back, havnt seen any of our late goals. not surprising, the pies played well. so it seems

6. May 5. Petracca 4. Langdon (great either end of the ground) 3. Salem (composed game) 2. Gawn (back line intercept marks) 1. Viney (for his tag on Steele) The whole back line played well, OMac, Lever, Hibberd, Rivers, even Jones. I also thought that Spargo, Melky, Brown and Weid, all had important touches or moments. Pickett will be fantastic, creates uncertainty for the opposition. That last half of football was the most intense and strong willed from Melbourne that I can remember. Not greatly skilled perhaps but what a game, and we won a close one.... Go Dees

Ten minutes of carp football. Says it all every week it seems

We did lose most of the day, but IF in the third we had kicked two goals and managed to stop two of the dogs, we would be talking totally differently, FFS its a 4 quarter game even if we are only playing 16 minutes....
