Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

    None if the commentators rate Oliver do they?

    Don’t feed the troll.

    The same troll who said Neitz, Schwarz, Lyon wouldn’t make it in today’s game 

    Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

    Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

    Understatement.  We needed that 

    I'm not angry now.

    Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

    Our players just look completely shot.

    This is on you Goodwin.

    We are on par with Sydney, Adelaide, Freo, Carlton, North Melbourne and who ever else that is [censored].

    We're like a ball boy, we just keep give the ball back everytime.

    Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

    Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

    No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

    Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

    neither does 'chip it around'.

    I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

    All our entries are to the pockets every time, how can you expect to win a game of football like that.

     

    Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

    I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

    They surprised us with their intensity

    They didn't allow us to play our brand

    They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

    We had trouble connecting with our fwds

    Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

    Smith is starting to string some games together

    The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

    Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

    We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

    We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

     

    He won't say the last one but he should

    Exact.  This is spot on.

    The Coach will not change. I don’t think he has any idea how too

    He can’t stay in charge for much longer....

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
