imagine the frustration of being a Demon forward (getting about two opportunities a game to do something) or backman (getting bombarded mercilessly all game) playing with a midfield/gameplan like ours when we usually have 20 or 30 less inside 50s than our opposition....

Not quite that bad mate - but what's really inexcusable is that we mostly stopped competing in the third quarter. There's no justification for that.

No wona, it is that bad. We've been 15 or 16th in terms of inside50 differentials for the past three years and it looks like we're even worse this year. Absolute indictment on our coaching staff and midfielders.
 
It's time to get some coaches who know how to tackle this zone bullsh*t! Our attempts to get the ball out of defense is the worst in the league. Simply not good enough when you have had 3-4 years in trying to work it out! Senior players and coaching staff should be bloody embarrassed by todays performance. How can we play like we did in the 2nd quarter, and be absolutely crap in the other 3. I really am nervous about our next 2 weeks now. I pencilled the Brisbane and Gold Coast games in as percentage boosting, now I'm not sure if we can even win...

For some reason, especially since half-time, we're not sticking with the zone in our own defensive setup properly either! Seeming like our guys keep wanting to fall back into man-on-man instead, and then we get disorganised down there, and we get slaughtered.

Wasn't as noticeable before though.

Good point about the inside 50s, yeah - although it wasn't near as bad as that before the 3rd term of course.

Scoreboard flattered us a lot. Should've been belted by 100 points. I know we all started panicking when the Hawks smashed us early last year, but I've got MASSIVE doubts re Bailey's ability as a head coach.

What a truly horrible game.
 
Hawthorn should've kicked 26-16.
MFC you can shove ya Footy up ya arse, not wasting my time on this shit
 
Someone needs to teach these kids some defense. Looking like Essendon last year.

There were a lot of gaping bloody holes in our game especially over that second half, no question about it.

Midfield workrate, clearances, inside-50s, organisation with the kick-ins, falling off our own defensive zone... if we see that stuff happening again in the same vein next week, I'll be starting to wonder myself, I've got to say.
