It’s so [censored] obvious. Its madness

Goodwin. First qtr Three goals down 19-4 Turnovers missed tackles handball errors dumb cute footy 15 inside 50s for zero goals poor goalkicking Crisp running unchecked !! Too obvious did you miss him as one of their ball carriers is this the response ? Seriously you are [censored] joking 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

absolutely shocking

Goodwin. First 10 minutes two goals down 12-0 Turnovers missed tackles handball errors dumb cute footy is this the response ? Seriously you are [censored] joking

Must win today. Must !!!

Not much to evaluate today as Pies were severely weakened team. Kolt was good and can see him having a real future.

@Demon Dynasty ”tomorrow's outcome will come down to will, want, fight and desperation” which is what I have NOT seen from neither Billings nor Laurie. They have shown to be low paced and low intensity players. List cloggers imv.

Gutless team decisions. wtf drop Tomlinson. wtf drop Woewodin Include Billings 🤢 Include Laurie 🤮

Ins ? Outs ??

Eagles got dudded by the umps. (But no tears from me 🤣) Yeo must still be scratching his head !!!

Hogan and Weideman now it’s JVR and Jeffo and Kentfield 🤞🤞🤞🤞

How did the Dees turn a premiership winning 22 year old defender into a fumbling forward with no confidence. Trying to solve the key forward puzzle has decimated this blokes confidence. Get him back to FB or CHB alongside May and Lever 🏆🏆🏆 Ps. Also had to knock down that [censored] Answerth 😭that mocked Petty but no one nailed him. Not good enough.

Yes it’s another twist in the Dees naming a team mini series. Maybe we are tossing coins over Laurie 🤢or Billings 🤮(to replace Hunter) or whether it’s BBB 🚑 or Fullarton in this week to replace Turner. I think it’s JVR & BBB as the forward options. Not sure Petty stays in (???).

Dees signing LDU. He will stay at North.

This is a pipe dream !!’

Crazy. The game is tomorrow and not even listed on any social media or Demons website Pathetic is the only word for it

Lions free kick winners 24-16 again it was 20-5 at one stage !!! v hawks 17-12 v tigers 23-12

Assessment from Kane Cornes (?!?!) Coach Simon Goodwin deploys a short-kicking, high-uncontested-mark style, but this strategy fails to generate enough inside 50s and goals – they sit 13th for inside 50s and average only 11 goals per game. The team’s off-field drama, poor culture, and discipline issues are finally affecting their on-field performance. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/afl/flag-favourites-disasters-and-the-side-that-s-just-plain-boring-kane-cornes-mid-season-verdict-on-every-club-20240605-p5jjgc.html

Sunday afternoon at Casey. Traditional VFA/VFL timeslot. At least no carry over travelling emergencies or will be the conservative kings again and keep multiple players out just in case someone slips on the white line running out. FFS.

Bulldogs. Wtf. You are copying the Dees. Handball handball handball turnover !!’

We are hurting an unMelbourne like performance looking like JVR will be fit to go no training loads missed Lever but Tommo and Tmcd covered the prior week ok pride Ourselves on contested footy lots of spin goody lost me with the “lean in” phrase … another new corporate phrase like “Hands-in”’aka a team meeting or “pivot” aka to change something Simon … if you must, please “pivot” the team away from overhandballing overhandballing overhandballing !!! Killing us with turnovers and skill errors and cut off so predictably

Yes I’m not sure that our issues are all effort based. Sure appears some are comfortable in their spots and are not dropped even after 3,4,5 poor weeks. Shows how the demise in depth in the list starts to hurt you as well. BUT FOR ME , THE ISSUES ARE MAINLY Lazy footy - no blocking, shepherds, body contact in contests Execution errors or Poor Skills Poor decision making Slow indecisive ball movement

This weeks primary message STOP OVERHANDBALLING

Watch the highlights of the Dees win in Adelaide versus the Power. Without May. We were 3 goals down with 90 seconds left in the third quarter. Nailed run and positive footy and got the win. 15 goals. Really attacked with more of a run handball kick approach. Not sure why we went into our shell after that. Hubris? Comfort??

Surely you’re joking. He’s injured 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
