A Good Fail?

How long will this last?

A 50 % win rate headed into Round 5. Its as if the crystal balls of the AFL knew all along that Melbourne were nothing but a mist for  2017 and the ANZAC clash with Richmond would all but seal our fate for this season.

I for one would have sincerely hoped that the perennial die hard optiMUSTS such as Taz chromzoneloss Nasher would be waxing lyrical with a newfound hope by now. Alas is not to be; however a good yarn on C7 on whether HD or SD is what it takes seems to alleviate the numbness of its despair. 

Old will no doubt raise one ugly burp of discontent about this post; but it sure as hell wont win us a flag anytime soon.

 

Any suggestions lads...other than the tender confusion of expression of a  clueless brood?

 

Daz 36 and a few others (alas a few) seem to know what's going on. 

 

Just not good enough MFC!!!

Your condition has deteriorated badly in your time away, Rangie.  I haven't the faintest what this post is about.  I think there's a shot at me in there somewhere because I saw my name, but I'm not offended because frankly, it went flying over my head.

Get well soon mate.

You really should consider changing your username to Chromzoneloss though.

It struck me as impossible to envisage that by Round 7 we may only boast 2 wins. 

Unlike Roos, Goodwin doesn't have, at this stage, the maturity to project the kind of self belief Roos had ( and still has) .

Therefore I can see why he (Goodwin) chose not to drop Watts, despite the noise. However, Watts output remains brittle and he is soft (as he is soft). An outside receiver at best and should have been traded when we had the opportunity.. 

Hogan should not be a walk up start next week . That Goodwin will rubber stamp his recall rings alarm bells. I prefer he straightens/drys  out for 2 weeks at Casey . See if he sulks.

This ultra attacking brand of Goodwin's has its upside, That said, he is a rookie at best and has a rookies game plan that's got holes the size of a Mack truck in defence. For the dull edged, lets just say not even having Chip Frawley back could stem the bleed we have seen over the last 2 weeks. Leg speed? Frost is not the answer either. Cant kick to save himself.

Belief in a game plan or system will only take  a young club  so far. Neither having Lewis or Hogan could have saved us the last 2 weeks. I hope that Goodwin lives up to his tag.

For mine, I have seen nothing to suggest that at this stage he is capable of adapting in game to any side with  nous.     

Nasher,

Thanks for the sentiment. No offence intended mate.

To me, Goodwin is remarkably composed and clear cut in his answers and explanations. He is very mature for a senior coach with 4 games of experience under his belt. Whilst there are some aspects of the gameplay (particularly defensively) that need improving, there's no need for any kind of worry yet. We did just win the first two games of the season for the first time in ages.

Your comments on Watts are drivel. His output so far has been sensational, particularly when the blowtorch was on him after Max went down.

So was Bulls. Watts is no Gawn and he, for the sake of the side, is of more use this season as a non contesting floating forward/back given our D issues.

Hibberd will add much needed class of half back .The only role I can see for Watts in this side moving forward is as a bruise free soft wingman, ala Riewoldt.

I recall that there's not much sense in trying to debate a point with you RR, but Watts did take two good contested marks on Saturday as our number one forward. There's a future for him in the attacking fifty. I'll leave it at that.

I concede one was simply  the result of better judgement given it just barely flew over the fingertips of the freo bloke. Ill pay it.....but hardly contested.

So far what i have got out of this thread is that its another 'Jack Watts Thread'

Poor bloke could cure cancer, bring world peace or end world poverty and there'd still be a thread on him saying what a [censored] job he's doing.

Mathematically then, that means he had one contested mark for the whole afternoon for 2.2. Receivers stats. 


I just wasted a whole 5 mins of my life. 

 

I thought Range Rover loved Watts? Is this some other [censored]?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
