Insanity = Doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.

Platitudes = So, after the loss last week I watched our coach give his post match interview and noted the following quote : Godwin  "Clearly we were inefficient forward off centre....We have got a lot of things to work on, especially forward of centre" Question "People might say, because it's a bit of a familiar story for a while, do you revisit the method?" Yeah we have revisited it (connection in the forward line) a few times"

I thought to myself - I have heard this before, so re watched  most of his interviews from round 1 2018 to the present (sad i know)

Godwin quotes from post match interviews:

Round 1, 2018 - "we've got some work to do inside forward fifty...64 (forward) entries is a lot and you should win games when you get 64 entries" (we lost)

Round 14, 2018 - Question "you dominated the inside fifties" Godwin "our efficiency inside fifty wasn't the best tonight (we lost again)

Round 18, 2018 = "we didn't connect well forward of centre, its a bit of a tale of our games this year where we struggled to connect...inside fifty.

Round 2, 2019 - "we need to connect better forward of centre"

"Round 5, 2019 - "were not connecting with the ball forward of centre" 

Round 6, 2019 - "We got beaten forward of centre to often......we couldn't connect with our handball or kicking (inside fifty)"

Round 18, 2019 - "were trying to find an avenue to goal....we had enough opportunities today"

Round 22, 2019 - "our in efficiency (inside fifty) is making us look worse"

Godwin quotes over the last 2 years - featured in most post game interviews:

"we played a pretty good football team tonight/today"

"I understand that the fans are frustrated and deserve better"

"We are going to work really hard to get ourselves out of this position"

"Ive/we have full confidence in this set of players"

"Im not interested in the past" (maybe thats why he learns nothing from it?)

What else did I learn?

I doubt we have played the same  6 players in the forward fifty for more than a few weeks in a row. Just about everyone and his dog has played in our forward line.

Seems to me that until we solve this issue we are doomed to dwell at the bottom of the ladder.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
