Garlett would've been our top goal scorer last year if he'd played every game, so no. Rightly or wrongly, Goodwin's track record is caring about defensive pressure over goalscoring.

And as the lowest scoring team in the AFL that’s working very well.

Yep!!

Up there with some of the worst selection decisions in AFL history. 

Goody, FD,  it's time to pack your bags...

That makes two of us.

So upset that I just won’t go to the game on Sunday. Dammit!

 

Plough get its.

Its amazing some on here are still putting blind faith in Goodwin.

We actually have the list to play finals this year, but it is him that's ruining every ounce of that happening.

But they played him round 1. When you take the field you are deemed fit.

They played him round 2 - even though he had to be nursed through it on just over 50% game time -  because the players he's competing against for a place, VDB, Hannan, Spargo and Pickett were either unfit or unavailable. Now they all are he needs to step up. Made clear by Goodwin in his recent interview.

Once again, not complicated.

I don't watch the games live any longer.

I record and flick though...selections like these are part of the reason.

I just can't justify taking time out to watch them live when the FD make the whole thing a farce at the selection table.

The team can't be trusted but it's no wonder when the FD can't be to start with.

The rot starts at the top...

And it’ll be another dour affair this Sunday with us kicking about 5 goals in total due to our lack of real targets/goal kickers.

It's not complicated at all.

Bennell is a far better player half fit than those you've mentioned.

Pickett I would keep in, forget the others...

We're crying out for class and someone who can kick the ball and this is what we come up with...

Then WHY pick him for round 2?? LACKS LOGIC! He is a much better bet now than VDB, HANNAN and ESPECIALLY SPARGO!

Anyone that can't see this must be living on another planet!

The one that needs to step up IS THE COACH!!

You mean the bloke that has no idea what he's doing? What about the likes of Corey Wagner or Toby Bedford who were fit and ready to go?

If you're legit taking Goodwin on his word then I think its you that's confused.

What's complicated is Goodys coaching ability.

But honestly?  There are really few surprises here if you tune in to what the club have said across the week.  

Find this aspect of it interesting: so many here [censored] and moan about how devoid of content the interviews with Goodwin, Mahoney etc. are - when in reality they provide a good insight into the rational and context for player choice. No surprises in the selections - if you've been paying attention.

Thanks spirit. 
 

This says it all to me:

I can’t understand the selection of this side at times.

"Some of the players that are getting games in that team at this moment aren’t good enough for AFL footy."

Goodwin continues to baffle everyone even educated former coaches.

I watched Spargo in 2018 and some of his delivery as the 2nd last person in the chain was excellent, however he's never looked fit to me, puffing and hands on knees constantly

You mustn’t have seen his first game of 2020z it was deplorable. Didn’t hit a single target: he is a putrid footballer. He also tries to lead at the football and doesn’t realise he is 4ft 7 and can’t take an overhead mark. He can ship right off.

Spargo and Kozi - they party together, they chase girls and opponents together and they score goals and assists together.

What's not to like?

Spargo

Don't confuse issues 'bing'...a few of us have seen the selection telegraphed.

No surprises as you say, except for Spargo..didn't see that one coming.

...but it doesn't make it any better.

Selection has been a dogs breakfast for a few years now.

It's getting worse.

Spargo, AVB, Hannan  etc etc  all in ahead of Bennell

Goodwin thinks its still 2018 and chaos ball will get us back to a prelim.

Cant play chaos ball with brilliant users of the footy like Bennell  in the team

Of course you didn't. Because like the rest of us, you have no information on how players not in the firsts are tracking.

So you reckon we're tracking well?

...and selection is just "tickety boo".

Enjoy...

Watching the game tonight.

Ratten at least looks like he is a coach and gets involved emotionally 

teauge on the other hand just sits there like goody,

I prefer someone who is engaged emotionally with the game and the supporters, both when we do something great and something stupid!!

[Docs Demons 1,668]

Not a bad effort ( being smart) by Goody and his team picking 3 talls out of the 4 inclusions. Know they will not all play but looking at weather for Melb on Sunday it will be wet. Good picks if playing up here in Qld during day but give me a break how in the hell do they come to this decision. Add in Spargo who just can't play the game and we are in big trouble. Hope not but not at all confident on this team.

[Demonland 65,736]

Bring back Greeny?

 

[WA Demon Boy 966]

Great to see other outside of this website agree with us!

Goodwin has doubters and the noise is rumbling Simon!

Bit of heat coming his way after Sunday if we lose!

No.

He got the chop from two clubs as an assistant coach for a reason.
