It's so sad what has happened to our forward structures.... Clearly we are 6 months behind the rest of the comp when it comes to how to set up and move the ball with the new rules. 

 
 

May Lever, Hore and Hibberd have been our best players.

Midfield is by far the laziest in the competition.

    Outside of the Neeld era this is the worst coached MFC team I've ever seen.

    Rubbish. Bailey was an awful coach. 1999, 2001 and 2003 were much worse than 2019.

    But yes Goodwin has been found out. Most coaches don't recover from this degradation, not this early in their careers.

    The problem is our forward line have no confidence.

    Just look at De Goey and Stephenson , and then look at Petracca and TMac.

    Petracca is full of brashness off the field but has none on it.

    5 goals in three quarters? FMD

    Viney is a shadow of his former self. Take the captaincy off him and make him become a competent footballer before making him lead.

    Placing all our chips on Tmac is a good as investment as Enron. What a disaster.

    anyone who thinks this list is not the problem is delusional. More spuds than a Thorpedale Sunday market....

    We would have more chance of building  our HQ there DP.  Very fitting!

    We could be bottom of the ladder this time next week

    I was thinking the same thing after the Blues win. I can't even say with any confidence that we will win when we play them.


    If you can’t kick a football you can’t play football.

    The problem is our disposal efficiency is 64%

    The worst thing about it is that Goody doesn't even know that he's been found out. So he's ignorantly plodding along, blaming everything on injuries (only partly responsible), connection etc, so he doesn't work on his gameplan, or bring someone in with some footy IQ.

    Trac has been good when given a go in the midfield.

    Why not point the finger at our rabble of a captain in Jack Viney who has touched it 11 times.

    Trac 2 solid qrts ....Poor Viney has gone bacwards too.

    Same issues ever week. Shocking F50 entries. Forward entries aren’t even to a 50/50. Would hate to be a forward for Melbourne. 

    If Goodwin does his pathetic little speech after the game and sends it out I’ll throw up. Time to put his coaching career under the spotlight. We can’t waste all this talent any longer.

    Can we just win this last quarter. 

    Thats why Weideman needs to play out the year in the seniors.

    There is potential and shows glimpses.

    I’ve said it before and will say it again. Goodwin can’t coach. Been told by someone in the afl that he is still struggling not having the runner out there like last year and can’t adapt to it. Met with afl just a few weeks to discuss it...

    Thats about all I can muster.

    Rather go and enjoy the rest of my Monday.

    Nothing left to say about this team anymore that hasnt been said.

    Coaches and players have a hell of a lot to answer for...

    Trac is the only one showing some energy and intent. Can’t understand the negativity towards him. TMac is the one that makes my blood boil, along with many others.

    That’s why, last 2-3 weeks he refuses to have a shot. Takes the pressure of himself.

    Totally agree, it's criminal that he doesn't get anywhere near as much game time as he should because the I50 delivery is atrocious.

    Nope, Bailey could win at the G occasionally with a more inferior list (on paper). 

    Goody has taken us from something verging on chocolates to one of the worst teams in the AFL with a better list in the space of 8 months.  With a crash bash play on at all costs (numbers at the ball) game style which makes it almost impossible to win against any oppositon on our home turf.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
