You're happy to write that about Goodwin but oh no Oscar McDonald is off limits?

Didn’t say he was off limits. But he isn’t playing. Goodwin is coaching. So he is accountable for the garbage on display. Oscar is not. 

 

How are we routinely held at center clearances, game after game, and never given free kicks? 

 

If you want to see how to do a club rebuild look at the Lions. Go out and get a gun midfielder and recruit a spine. Get a legend Hodge to teach kids what it about. Get a coach from a winning culture. Compare that to us we recruit a coach from the druggies. Say it all


Hipwood starting to believe his own bathwater

Don’t worry Robinson will win them the game. Kill me. Never has a head been more punchable.

    We need to go find ourselves a key forward in the off season. Surely that’s beyond doubt now.


    Gus's decision to roll and play on,  then kick a bomb to no one's advantage sums up what a farce this club is in terms of it's inability  to correct major flaws in the way it plays the game.

    And Goody leaving Petty on Hipgood till nowish after a 4 goal game turning 3rd quarter? 

    We have 3 more years of this BS?

    Somebody shoot me.

    Why has it taken Goody 5 goals to move Petty off Hipwood?

    I'd question why he was on him in the first place.

    Cameron - May looks after

    Hipwood - Frost

    McStay - Petty

    Um, if you’d paused time after the semi last year, that describes us.

    Because Goodwin is stubborn and thinks he is smarter than he is.

    Simple match ups and selections are beyond him.

    Jayden, what a useless effort 

    That's it in one. That's a pi55weak effort. One of a number from him. It's schoolboy stuff.

    Because he is not an AFL standard Coach.

    hope our people are all over Patton's medical records not to mention watching his rehab very closely

    • 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?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
