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.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
