Geelong masterfully implemented the “rope a dope” strategy.

 

Like to hear from all of the Goodwin supporters today.

He is finished. No vision, no passion, zero intensity, can't get players to do basic things like stand on a goal line or hit a target.

I'm sick of him. was gifted a coaching role with zero experience and has had one year where we fluked a couple of finals. Big f******g deal.

Sad thing is we as supporters, know exactly how this will play out, We have seen it all  before. We throw away leads, we let teams get a sniff, we don't pick up players but guard grass - is there anything more infuriating seeing a team chip chip chip the ball around and our lazy hacks just amble around without a care in the world.

Goodwin is killing the support for this club and one day it won't be around. And hardly anyone will notice. or care.

 

 

 

We are a talented team but a dumb team. Perhaps that's a reflection of our coaching?

It's not all bad though. Brayshaw, Lever, Viney and Hibberd were pretty decent. 

Kozzie will be better for the experience. Hannan better for the run. Lockhart started well but made bad errors as he got tired.

Smith played OK

The concerns are the form of Fritsch, Salem and vanders. Rivers had one he'd rather forget.


Hard to read the garbage! We were in the game throughout. We gave ourselves a chance to win. We were the equal of the Cats, wherever they are ranked. It was a line ball in the final minute. Posters who are keyboard assassins need to take a breath before they post the bile. WE have a very competitive group right here, and the more games they play together the better they will be. Think about how long Ablett, Selwood, Hawkins and Danger have been playing. We are tracking in the right direction. I hate the venom, the knee-jerking and the abuse that the 'supporters' show here. Grow some, and watch the game for what it is worth... a dour struggle that was oh so close!

PS: The absolute morons that keep calling for the coach to be sacked... and have been doing so since Norm Smith... YOU ARE WEAK AS...!!! 

We looked like a team who had played little. We defended well other than the two brain fades that cost us goals. We need to learn how to turn teams that play the short kick with us which takes away contests. Forward line needs 2 talls and less mid sized forwards. This MFC brand of football which should be recognisable is still not clear to me. As long as we build off it its not the disgrace people are stating but we need to fix the challenges and not stubbornly ignore them.

We played poorly.  Geelong just sweated on our mistakes, which we continuously made for them.  Even still, we had a kick to win it!  Some things to like, but our system especially forward was terrible.

Sorry if u think there is anything positive in that game your kidding yourself. Playing a team who hasn’t had a top draft pick in 20 years. 3 goals in 3 quarters pathetic. We are a huge chance for wooden spoon

We have no forward line. 

Goodwin I have just about had enough. Time to maybe fall on your sword.


Love reading these post-game forums after a close loss, the demonlanders never fail to disappoint. :)

yeah it stings but there was a lot to like. 

Tmac showed glimpses, kossi looks really dangerous, backline largely performed well, Maxy went off yet again, joel smith wasn't completely putrid, tomlinson was good, harmes and viney battled away all day. clarry and gus were magnets. 

put it in perspective, we're watching our favourite team play live at the G. its not like the boys or goody want to lose, we'll be back. 

gotta keep the glass half full, onto next week. up the demons! 

Scoreboard flattered us & Goodwin needs to be held accountable for the continued slide with a game plan that isn’t working, the drafting of 2 wingers & the huge investment on 2 defenders & we cop 3-4 soft goals! We’re is the leadership from May & Lever to defend the goal line??? Were is the game plan for the ball movement for our 2 wingers we drafted??

Jobe Watson summed it up perfectly:

'One team came in with a plan and that was the difference today'

 

Sort of, we still easily win if someone man's up Mitch Duncan in the first quarter, Max Gawn doesn't go to water and touches the ball on the goal line in the second quarter, someone stops the handball to Dangerfield in the third quarter. Was pathetic awareness from the whole team on multiple occasions.

I don’t know how many times I yelled out “that’s not 15” for all the 8m kicks by the cats, but I’m still apologising to my dog who thinks I’ve got mental health issues.

Goodwin is the worst coach in the comp.

No offence or defence. Salem walking that 50 up was a disgrace.

Especially when we had two players out the back.... Couldn't believe what I was seeing, he sprints and pumps that in side 50 we have the Geelong defenders scrambling back. Would have been a mark in the goal square or front on contact free

Lack of a second tall target in the forward line killed us.

Lack of any reliable target always kills us.

I'm calling for the coach to be sacked. More often than not he's outcoached and we're perpetually on the back foot. And this is an opinion forum last time I looked.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
