AFL: Melbourne Demons coach Simon Goodwin discusses a bruising round 12 loss to Fremantle in Darwin.
The Dockers belted the Demons in pretty much all the key statistical areas in Alice Springs on Sunday, and Goodwin said he and the club would spend the coming days to “dig into the why” his side was so comprehensively smashed.
The Demons would have soared into the top four with a win but Goodwin said his side was “obliterated” in the contest, its skill and execution was poor and simply didn’t work hard enough.“That’s as bad a performance as you can get,” Goodwin said.“We’ll look into the why because that performance was clearly, completely unacceptable.“We will dig because we need to find a way to get through it.“I know our supporters will want more.
“I don’t like to categorise, but when you lose by the margin that we lost by, that’s unacceptable as a footy club,” he said.Goodwin was happy with this side’s preparation, arriving in Alice Springs on Saturday morning, and the Demons got off to a good start, kicking the opening two goals within five minutes.
