Lost by one kick to one of the weakest sides Geelong will field all year, plus they lost a key player early. I am filthy at the thought of those who state this was a gallant/brave loss. 

This was a matter of not being good enough to beat a weakened team on our home ground after an off-season of talking tough and saying how we’ll rebound after a pathetic end to last season. 

If you lose a game you should’ve won, that is a bad loss. 

That about sums up last week's loss perfectly.

Another poor result, to add to the many poor results this group has been churning out on a regular basis since that Sydney game at the G last year.

 

I don't understand how the defence was so bad in the first half and super good in the second half, I am fearing that Goodwin has not learnt how to stop a teams momentum in qtrs, or the team don't know how to slow down a game, seams to be our defective set up can only work for a half of footy, after the 1 st term when Geelong scored 8 scores form 10  entries, Goodwin should have addressed that after the first quarter and not until half-time, only the demons could lose the way we did

A lot of the issues were down to two-way running (or lack thereof) from the midfield. While we were winning our fair share of the clearances, as soon as the ball was turned over and went the other way our mids were very slow to transition. 

I love Trac and think he’ll become a superstar but 2 way running isn’t his best attribute. It might have been part of the reason why he was moved forward after HT.

It's easy to read too much into things, but considering Goodwin may want to get Tyson, Brayshaw and perhaps the defensive pressure of Bugg into the side one suspects that Hannan along with Maynard would be one of the first in line to lose his spot.  It's possible Goodwin was breaking the news to him.

I'm guessing Hannan's omitted??

Goodwin does this all the time at training, doesn't necessarily mean he is omitted, might have a different role in mind

The team lost by a kick, why would Goodwin be considering changes?

It was the 1st half defending which disappointed him

Listen to his presser, he is already flagging there may be no change

Saty way off the mark once again.

I'm going to call you Nostradamus!

Those that state it was a gallant loss I don't disagree but it is only a gallant loss because we fought back and in essence should have won with better forward 50 conversion.

Then ask yourself how many of our players played to your expectations for the full game. I counted 8 with Lewis and Harmes making it 10 if you just count their second half.

We looked good over JLT due to even team performances with most playing their roles to expectations across most of the game. Need to get back to that this week and moving forward and we will murder most sides.

Perhaps a little harsh but the sentiment is correct. That was a game we should have won ... at the MCG.. Dangerfield out and an early injury to a key Geelong player.

The alternative view could be that we came close to winning with a large number of poor contributors- in the past we would have dropped in confidence early and got smashed. No excuses but plenty of up side.

Dear me precious, I have an opinion, in hindsight it was incorrect, thought Hannan worked his way into the game, Goody obviously didn't I can live with that

Unlike the Aust Cricket followers on here, I don't have a holier than thou attitude and can admit my opinion was in this instance erroneous

You know you have a problem when Hawkins has more possessions, 9 in the first half, than 17 Dees. 


I wonder if Richmond are gnashing their teeth after fielding a full side last night and losing to a Crows side two down on the bench and missing some important players.

Who was Hawkins paying on?

The alternative view you pose is irrelevant. We moved on from that mindset 2 yrs ago...

Oscar, who I thought did ok on him. Hawkins didn't score and didn't really hurt us.

Yes I remember Hawkins chasing possessions down on the wing in the first and thinking that is a good thing for us at the time.

It was.  It’s not his prime gig, so better he’s in a contest 85 from home, rather than 15.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
