I just want to know what we think we are going to do with Goodwin idiotic contract extensions if these sorts of performances continue?

Agree, but we have been miles off all year. Teams have also worked out our stoppage work and lack of leg speed around the contest.

if that's the case hit the boundaries and for wingman to fill holes in defense. goodwin is a stubborn coach. we play like millionaires but look like unemployed Arts graduates: no promise and no real skill.

Maybe  (national draft)... but is any aggression allowed in Neo conservatism.?  silly me. of course it is...   just look at the fine print and we will find it in there somewhere.   

U Just need a magnifying Glass,  to look for it.    It'll be in there somewhere. depending on if its inline with the law of making money for the rich.

they all go up for a mark, spoil each other, have no crumbers at feet of packs, run into each others space, dont put themselves into dangerous spots or help the ball carrier. whats jeff farmer doing give him a job 

who is our forward coach?

 

This is what happens when you have incompetence behind the wheel.

Roos and PJ needed to stay for another 2/3 years more than they did. Can’t change culture in a few years when it’s been poor for half a century (apologies to the late 80’s sides who put in).

    No pride in that jumper out there. Simple as that.

    Goodwin and Leadership have a lot to answer for.

    Very stubborn.

     

    What’s Goodwin doing on the bench anyway? I hate coaches being on the bench. Reeks of absolute desperation. 

     


    The only positive that I can find is that we are getting games into the new group of young players that will be needed over the next few years. To be fair- half the team playing today are just not ready for AFL yet and would not be on the ground if we did not have so many injuries. I’m referring to spargo, Baker, Lockhart, petty, wagners, etc

    the only young one to step up is Marty Hoare

    Petty ran out and then ran back off down to the rooms??

    Wants to see just how bad we can be from every possible angle.

    I would move heaven and earth to get Ben Brown. Our forwardline is an abomination alongside the rest of our team. 

    Agreed Jaded. Trade out both McDonalds, bring in Brown and pick up Coniglio as free agent to rotate wing and inside.

    Now Max is off shaking his wrist. Being attended by doctor.


    This game plan is disgusting. The club ethos not too far off. Lick the ice-cream and get rewarded with a cold.

    I watch Hore tear it up and play naturally. Goes back with the flight and eyes for the footy. This time next year he'll be like the rest of them. This game plan and style is pathetic. We want to call the MCG our own but never utilise it's full space. We don't put enough faith in the like of Oliver, Brayshaw, and Viney around the ball to then clear it out to space. Everyone in the team looks to the left or right for a shitty handball or chip kick. In doing so we constantly waste crucial seconds to get it to someone open down the field. By then, the opposition flood.

    I'm over this rubbish. I'm over the coaching staff. We need a paid third-party investigation and be sure the right heads roll by the end of the season.

    If he can shake it, should be aiming it at Goodwin.

    Seems to be ok, I think..

    Today is the day I stop caring.  Totally fed up!

    the club has sucked all the energy out of me and they do not deserve the loyalty of people who have stuck thick for decades.  

    What a waste of membership for decades!

    see yaa!!

    Although i am sure it will be denied right now, there has to be some internal problems, and i don’t mean injuries. 

    This year has just been to “off”

    The Real change in culture will begin when we get a home base.   and something tangible to play are hearts out for.  Not some flag...  but for feeling people. 

    People who feel really sad when things aren't great...  and people who celebrate Strong,  when the teams on-song...  Not a Fabric Flag

    .

     

    Good opportunities go begging. Don't suppose we could ever make the opposition pay for their misses 

    At least we won't start next year as the highest ranked champion data team ?

    Unless you're looking at Clangers.  We're ranked #1 on that. 

    And dead last for disposal efficiency.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
