If this continues it will make me look back on Neeld's time with fondness.

Why do you think he tried to crack the culture right open, right from the start.  to stop the tail-waggers from the start.

 

Well, they taught him didn't they!!! the tail-waggers prevailed in a big way.   one of them left last year.

 

But the fragile 'club-culture' remains alive, within us all.    It vents in the form of negativity, on game-days.

 

We need to be breathing fire on the opposition,,, at our games...  not at our own players.

So our players can start to find confidence out on-field... instead of losing what they came to the ground with.

 

Out coached. Out played.  Out run 

very dissapointing

Yes it is obvious to all but Goodwin apparently 

The Idea is they (the Hawks ) sacrificed they're games,,,  in the 1st Qtr_  to harass the opponents, US Demons... into intimidation.

Once we started to cough up the pill or overuse it in tyhat 2nd Qtr they were away.

They had then set the game up on their terms,,, by playing off us,,, waiting when we got the pill to pressure us into fumbles, and mental mistakes.

 

They've done it many times to other teams.

 

This is not so much about Goody but more about "a Habit"  that this club has fallen into.  Panic !!!

It mostly starts from the grandstands, in the form of negative fear-emotions,,  transferred Via the  "Vocals from the Locals".

 

We do it to ourselves.

I turned the game off

I have never turned the game off

Turn the sprinklers on at training this week, we have no idea how to play with a wet ball

Barass would have them training with the yellow ball in the wet to get them right,, after many many 100 Mtr sprints.

But its much more than just a skill thing.

 

this has been going on at melbourne for decades now.

 

We do not handle our own supporters negativity on game day.

The players try harder and harder until they end up trying so hard, they lose objectivity, and they become harassed within their own minds.

 

From that point, the game is as good as gone.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
