GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Richmond

I’m really intrigued to see what Goodwin does tonight. There are numerous factors why we suck at the minute, but none more so than our system.

We may not win tonight, but a competitive effort, particularly defensively, will at least give me some faith in Goodwin.

    I always think we are a chance on game day.

    what the actual [censored] is wrong with me?!?

    we got pantsed by St kilda and the bombers.  will be 8 goals to 1 at QT.

    But still...... we are a chance!


    This is how tonight will go:

    • We will come out firing after the horrors of last week
    • We will win a lot of clearances as we will have lots of players going for the same ball at the contest
    • Richmond will set up well outside the contest not over-committing players to the ball and wait for us to fumble or turn the ball over
    • Our fierce attack on the contest early will see us get the ball inside the forward 50 a lot but Weideman and McDonald (who will lead too early) won't hold their marks and our small forwards will be out of position when the ball hits the ground allowing Richmond to walk the ball out of their backline and transition up the ground with ease
    • While we focus on Richmond's twin towers it will be their fleet of small and quick forwards who will cut us up and expose our lack of speed
    • Gawn will battle hard in the ruck but not having Preuss to support him will limit his effectiveness as the kick-behind-play ruckman in defence that we need
    • Melksham will bob up for a couple of opportunistic goals but he will again totally freak out with any sort of set shot, Petracca the same
    • In the end, we will have the endeavour but not the structure, fitness, skill or the personnel to compete for four quarters

    Melbourne by 37 points.

    Does for me SWYL. If the Tigers smash us, I'm not sure there'll be enough alcohol on the planet.

    He must change the system, drastically. His whole philosophy needs an update. Otherwise he won’t last

    Which will be our only quarter.... I predict number 2.

    Just enough to get us within say 20 points at half time to give hope to those who do not know there is no hope for this season

    it's quite relaxing going into a game with zero expectations. 

    Yep - that's how I got through the Neeld years.

    It would be great to be on edge every game, every year (think Hawthorn). But we've blown it, big time. The end of last year was a taste of how supporters of those clubs feel - back to normal transmission now, though.

    What a disgrace.

    Just play Man on Man FFS.

    our "gameplan" does not work.  at least man on man will give us a chance and I won't be screaming as Frost etc run off their man constantly

    Footy isn't that hard is it??? we win it in the middle and can't do jack [censored] else?

    Would you believe I have never had a glass of scotch in my life.

    I took a sip once and hated it and have never had it since. Same goes for Brandy, Cognac and Champagne, which tends to make me feel sick, much like my footy team.

    Yup.  Its a big night for Goodwin and the coaching staff.

    Our system is a shambles and changes must be made,  If he puts Lewis and Jones on the wings tonight again,  there will be meltdowns.

    Nothing is wrong. Maintaining the faith somehow always provides hope.  

    Often it's all we have, but it is fundamental to our existence.   

    Certainly a key requirement to follow the Red and Blue over a lifetime.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
