So, Goody steps up, what does he say:

  • we lacked connection
  • were hurting, we know our supporters are hurting
  • we are gunna keep working
  • its little things
  • we got a week and a half to go back and work on it
  • we are in this together, we are unified
  • they we’re a great team, the tigers.

what do you reckon?

 

Something about a process and we aren't happy with where we are at etc etc

 

"we are easy to play against"

"Judge us on our performance... Next week" 

"I am relishing [censored] taking a team from the prelim to bottom 4 in 7 game, it's a great learning curve" 

"We will learn from this" 

"This is not our brand and we need to get better" 

"We didn't see it coming"

Spot on.  Same old rubbish.  What you won’t here  

 - We are lazy

- we cannot take a mark inside 50

- we handball to no one

- we have no grit or hard edge

- we create turnovers 

- we thought it would just happen 


Reckon he will play the injuries card. It’s due to be played.

For those bitching about Goodwin and his soundbites to questions that are posed to him... I would love to see your own responses to them (seriously, write them down)...because I suspect there is nothing he can say that would appease any of you? 

I'd hate to be a coach and be under scrutiny publicly week in week out....and having to justify/explain/mansplain reasons for a loss...

Exactly.  He plays a straight bat to the media, and so he should.  It will always be that way.

The only team we beat last year out of those we’ve played was essendrug. We lost to swans. Looks like we had an easy draw.

We beat St Kilda.

Can anyone photoshop Neeldy as the driver?

I want to thank Demonology for inspiration:

Put relative speed on the wings (not Lewis and Jones).

Jones HB

Lewis hiding as the anchor

Hibbo up the ground.

TMac defence.

Spargo and Wagner out.

 

I finally found the angle-grinder to get the magnets off the whiteboard.

Get stuffed

His response...

- we look good until another team takes the field

-scoring has never been a priority

-the new rules heave hurt us, I’ve been aiming for a rugby style game and this new ‘football thing’ has really hurt us

 

“We’ll review this incredibly strongly as a club. 

We’re hurting as a club. The coach the players and obviously the supporters.

We’ll continue to work incredibly hard to rectify the areas of our game such as forward connection and defensive running.

Blah blah.”

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
