Write Goodwins name on a piece of paper and put it in the freezer - a voodoo technique used by my mother-in-law. Believe me I know.

Negatives after a win??

No i wouldn’t think that at all

You are a very sick man

Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation ..

For someone who hates it when others judge his thoughts, replies and what he thinks, it seems hypocritical of you to call me a 'very sick man'. 

Takes one to know one I guess. 

 

Cannot see us losing to freo ... its the next few weeks that concern me.      Hope am I am wrong but will not make finals.   Playing dogs after playing in darwin   na !!      Adelaide in adelaide   no !   Geelong at geelong  (happens once every 15 years)   West coast in perth ..  No  !!        blew it last week  and first round.   Hope I am wrong,

 

Side note won $65 last week.  had 10 on saints.    Having watched by beloved team for decades I knew $6.50 odds for saints was  ridiculous.  Hope I was not going to collect..  but I did.

I struggled this week, mate. If we roll over against Freo I don't think I'll be able to pull anything positive out of the bag! 

A durry?

People can think whatever they want on here, but for you to say i will find negatives after a win is just petty rubbish. 

I hate losing & i hate slack performances, of which we see too many

but i will never tire of wins

Yes you were indeed.

Planning on keeping your powder dry in the game day thread this week, Nash?

Even if we'd beaten St Kilda and say Geelong, I still think we'd struggle to make the 8, the last 5-6 weeks is just a brutal run of games, coupled with teams around us having much easier draws...

Dees by 20 goals. Freo won't score, Petty to take 22 intercept marks, Trac to have 47 disposals, Hogan to kick 11 goals. 

I hope you did not hurt anything when you fell out of bed Wiseblood?

Which only highlights what a shocking decision playing fixtures in Darwin is. 

What is more important to the club, a suitcase of $$$’s or playing finals in September??

Only my head. On reflection I should have made it 30 goals.

Oh thank God I thought something may have happened to the most positive person on Demonland . Where I go for positive reinforcement?

I'm not sure the decision is 'fully' ours, i think we are partially beholden to the AFL to continue this arrangement in some form, perhaps due to previous 'support' we received.

Might as well pack up the club if the AFL are forcing our hand and retarding our fixture. 

Clubs who plays us 2-3 weeks after Darwin get a massive free kick

I believe you referred to St Kilda as a ‘bucket of puss’. After reading that I seriously thought there was no way we could lose.

I don't disagree.

We won the following week after playing in Darwin last year

We lost the following two games badly though. We were then shagged out and lethargic for the remainder of the season .

True, still I think if the arrangment is going to continue we should play the Darwin game instead of the Alice Springs game before the bye.

If we lose to Freo it’s season over.

And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year.

Head coach sacked?

New president?

At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club.

 

I'm curious who was he?

 

Fremantle were putrid last week so it will be interesting, we should [censored] them. A couple of close losses and a big win will get our percentage up there which may be handy

Not really. We lost to North by 4 points in rubbish conditions, then to a hot GWS, then belted StKilda for all but a lapse in the 3rd quarter. Sports science has come along way in the last few years. If we lose to Dogs next week it won’t have anything to do with the conditions on Saturday night

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
