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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
