There has to be collective responsibility for the loss of Howe and Dunn.  There has to be collective responsibility for the lack of outside speed.  We also blinked when negotiating with Adelaide (2 first rounders in a super-draft), and to a lesser extent Freo.

 

 

You forgot to mention collective responsibility for the recruitment of Jordan Lewis. Not feeling yourself today?

    Lever is a smart and cleaner footballer than Howe. Howe has had a great past 2 season but he's also 4 years ahead of Lever.

    Dunn was a loss. Not quite sure why we got rid of him. Would have been handy this year and last.

    We've built a super backline that's played maybe 3 games together. Given our performances across the ground, recruiring May and JK in exchange for Hogan was a reasonable deal at the time. I don't think Goodwin and co could foresee our midfield falling from a top 4 caliber to a bottom 4 caliber overnight.

    Feeling himself too much is the issue JD.

    Look . . . your analysis is spot on Hellofatime. But you're only scratching the surface. I think an independent review is required to investigate the role that Russian interference plays in the minds of the players and officials, the ongoing influence of the global financial crisis, the untimely and tragic death of Lady Dianna Spencer, the long term consequence of the Chappaquiddick incident on the club and how the Bay of Pigs has psychologically scared the organisation for decades. Only then can we be confident we have gotten to the bottom of this fiasco.

    Undoubtedly would have had an impact I would have thought SWYL. And I think Dee Dubya is onto something . . . I'd have Tony head up the inquiry. Can't think of a more qualified fellow.

    Yes, even as a young 11 year i felt a great disturbance in the Force when MT left the band. 

    Tony is on only $6,000 a week so i am sure he could use some extra ca$h

    Why?  They didn't finish the job!  Our club, our football team, the team we love so much, the team who has not won a premiership since 1964, is enough reason for this to be so important.  This game was born in Melbourne, we are one of the pioneers of the sport, this sport we treat as a religion.  Paul and Peter, you will have let us down badly, if we are not in a better position than when you left us, and sadly, at this time this is how it is.

    There's some weird logic going on here. Usually the concern is when someone leaves an organisation in a worse state than when they found it. But blaming someone for events that occurred after they leave and for which they cannot possibly be held accountable is, well, bizarre. It's like saying it's John Lennon's fault that The Beatles never reformed after he was shot.

    Look SWYL . . . Tone is cheap at double the price for this task. And if he performs well and does find Roos and PJ responsible for the current malaise, I suggest he undertaken further related investigations. Was Bradman's unavailable what cost us the Cricket World Cup earlier this month?

    to be fair bradman went on to be a selector and on the ACB board so yes QD - bradman is to blame like Jackson and Roos!

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
