Goodwin

Is

A Fraud.

 

He looked like Norm Smith in the first quarter and a half before quickly becoming a combination of Mark Neeld and Peter Rohde.

    To sum up the shambles, the team belts the song out with gusto before skipper Max is even back in the rooms - first win as Captain.

    FMD. 
     

    it was like watching a bad movie after quarter time but with a good ending JUST. 

    Glad to see HB get through and Rivers looks like a cracker.

    Well .... I’ve got no idea what to make of that !!

    The better side lost Uncle! I have serious concerns for the mental fragility of this squad, well at least the leadership group.

    That nervous look that Goodwin was showing on the bench late in the game is uninspiring. Theirs absolutely no confidence, he looks like he’s just coaching to save his job.

    That was pathetic, we need at least an eight goal lead to be comfortable.

    The lack of composure in the front half still kills us, we stop when we should play-in and play-in when we should stop.

    Tom McDonald is cooked.

    Jake Melksham is cooked.

    Goodwin has no idea what he’s doing.

    Smith should never be in the back half again.

    ANB was very good.

    Hunt was very good.

    Rivers is an absolute beauty.

    Lever and May aren’t what we paid for.

    Once Carlton worked out Gawn we were done.

    Petraccca is a star.

    There are arguably only two teams worse than Carlton... GCS and St Kilda

    we almost managed to lose to Carlton... in fact we would have if they kicked straight.

    The selections were terrible. ANB's late inclusion saved us along with Hunt who I thought would never play seniors again.Where was our forward line.

    Weid deserved a game in front of Jackson. Smith is experimental at best.

    The only upside is that when I saw the team on Thursday I felt sure we would lose.

    Can we regroup... who knows

    Senior players let us down. Where was Melksham, McDonald, Lever, Jones???

    Veey poor performance.

    Trent Rivers was impressive and Bennell will only get better.

    What a disappointing win. I feel sick. The whole season 2020 should have been cancelled. Would have been better for my health. This whole year is write off anyway. Stress overload.

    Can't say I'm a fan of that. 

    Can't say i am a fan of them singing the song after that second half. Anyone with an ounce of leadership in that room would've put a stop to it.

    Only Carlton's inaccuracy saved @#X!$%?*'s head from the chopping block!

    On today's showing there are three teams worse than Carlton.  Imagine what this would have turned into if Carlton turned up in the first 1.5 quarters.

    Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. 
    They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. 
    it’s going to be a long long year.

    I thought Fritsch was a beautiful kick?

    Hes another of our worries and there are plenty.

    Fritsch is a terrible set shot as I mentioned here during the COVID break.

    Has kicked 1.6 to start the season. 
     

    Really needs to work on his accuracy If he’s going to make it as a genuine player in this league.

    Melksham needs a rocket in him or else he’ll be kicking off the dew Hibberd.

    Another unsatisfying win.

    Melksham didn’t want to be there, I wouldn’t be upset if that’s the last we see of him.

    All of this and more

    I cannot believe our attitude - 40 odd up and just stopped? 

    We should have lost this. Cripps, Walsh all made errors and that's that.

    Still I’d rather learn from a bad win than a narrow loss. 

    Now we have to arrange how 5 people are going to sleep, in a one bedroom apartment

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
