Rightly, many supporters want to see results instead of hearing platitudes.  Yet so many of those same supporters analyse everything Goodwin says.

They probably don't even realise the hypocrisy.

    It’s hyocritical to analyse the coaches comments yet still want results? 

    Sorry PD but I cannot see the link - can you please explain?

    You were asked, "What do we need to see to know whether it has or has not been accepted?".  This was with regards to your comment "what other club would accept the first 3 quarters".

    I'm interested in your response to this very specific question.

    So happy you are interested in something 

    This club repeats it’s failing on and of field far more than others in the AFL (gold coast aside, they will die)  We say we don’t like it, but we are not strong enough or ruthless enough to shed the stigma

    But you haven't answered the question.

    What do we need to see to know whether it has or has not been accepted ?

    Whether WHAT has been accepted

    explain IT in your above

    if you are referring to post Round 23 as being the turning point of “no more” then no it hasn’t

    I would love to see Goodwin just stand there in a press conference, completely mute. Don’t answer any questions or make any comments, just stand there in complete silence. 

    He’d probably get bagged for not giving the members the answers they demand, or something.

    I for one would applaud.

    Yes Nasher I would actually like to see that

    Like when Mark Riley confronted Abbott and Abbott just stood there, mute, visibly shaking

    Or better, like when Pyke just looked at his team as we ripped them apart (remember when we were that good?)

    Yep, Don Pyke style. A reverse Pyke if you will.

    Start "I'd like to see that" old school AFL jingle from telly

    Pun points for effort - but wouldn't a reverse Pike involve Goody talking - a lot? 

    Sorry but your attempted pun dived.

    Maybe he should go with the Jose Mourinho style of interview?

    No, it wouldn't.

    You have misunderstood my pun, which is understandable.

    I'd like to see an end to excuses.

    3 years of Roos.

    Halfway through Goodwin's second year.

    How long does it take to teach players to play hard nosed accountable footy.

    Like not wandering off in direction of a contest when you're tracking an opponent running into their forwardline.

    Like not realising that if you over commit to the contest you'll leave opponents in space free to receive from the contest and dispose of the ball under no pressure and when you try to release to a team mate he'll be about a metre way under the same pressure as you are. 

    Like applying manic pressure like the trendsetting Tiges who won one of those Premiership things.

    How long do we have to wait?

    My enthusiasm for the coach has fallen this year however I don't take a lot of notice of press conferences. After game ones are the worst and I am confident coaches only do them because the AFL decrees they have to. 

    As a coach it appears to me that whatever you say as a losing coach is seen as crap by at least 50% of supporters. They are no winners.

    Oh dear.

    The following is @Danelska's question to you:

    What other club would accept those first 3 Quarters last week???...ps what does this statement even mean? How has it been accepted, or not? What do we need to see to know whether it has or has not been accepted?

    You haven't answered these question.

    What do you need to see to know whether it has been accepted ?

    Because you're inferring it HAS been accepted.  How do you know this ?  What does it look like ?

    I am looking at onfield performance. Workrates over 4 Quarters are still unacceptable in pressure games. After Round 23 last year i would have thought performances like that are not to be tolerated, but they are still happening. 

    I cannot make it any clearer

    Just because you think it is unacceptable does not mean the players have accepted it.  But that seems to be the lapse in your logic that leads others to ask what do you mean by accepted.

    sigh...like any of this conjecture matters... the team will perform poorly - some will be ok with it, in the context of growth, some will be upset and see it as the old demons... some will continue to support, some will disengage...but THEN jump on the bandwagon when the going gets good again... and all previous crimes of all parties involved will be absolved.

    Whatever the players have accepted, it is not enough. That is clear to see. 

    Losing to St. Kilda in 2018 on the MCG is not acceptable, however you package it. 

    Once again Round 23 last year still doesn’t hurt the entire FD enough, so they refuse to let a scenario like it happen. 

    But within 9 months it has

    Good grief,  there is a distinction between X happening and players thinking that X is acceptable.   You assume the players have accepted (defeat, lack of effort, incompetence, whatever).  But just because they have been defeated etc does not necessarily mean they have accepted it.  They might just not be good enough.

    But how do you know it was "accepted", which was your assertion.  You were speaking about the game on the weekend against St Kilda.  You weren't referencing any other game.

    How do you know the players and club have accepted those 3 quarters against St Kilda.  

    That was your accusation.

    Now, answer the specific question and try not to reference 1966.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
