Is the post game thread open yet?

Why not just go to "is Goodwin the right guy?"

    Who's responsible for getting the team to perform?

    The coaches don't coach for arm tackles, kicking on someone's head, not chasing

    It's always easy to blame the coaches, they are sent out with a game plan, up to now the players have failed to execute it

    The only 2 who can hold head up at the moment are Langdon and Tomlinson

    On the bright side guys, Sydney will jump Hawks on the ladder so our draft pick we get off them will be one pick higher now.

     

     

    You know you’ve stuffed up selections when O Mac gets sent to full forward just to stay out of the way.

    Bad night for Sydney to pull out their best performance for the year.

    They always pull out their best effort against us.  Very much our bogey side.

    So who’s let the supporters down then? Elaborate. 

    How we start this quarter will be everything.

    Start fast and we're in it. Let Sydney continue to park the bus or concede a goal and we're [censored].

    I turned off the game at half time. I literally can’t remember the last time I did that if ever. 

    gutted

    wind has dropped substantially from the first quarter

    clutching at straws

    How so? 

    But even then, even if no breeze, we kicked a solitary goal in a whole quarter, which is poor.

    And I guess if the breeze has dropped, there should be no impediment to us kicking 4 in the final quarter, right?

    I know I'm totally up for 2 hours of elite athletic performance after 5 hours of flights and airport transfers. 

    Exactly my point. What a great preparation for a game.

    Langdon the only bloke that's played the first three quarters

    Christ, we painfully inch the ball fwd around the boundary - Syd get it to their 50 with a couple of kicks down the spine.  Ugh.

    Many of us called him to be dropped.

    Bizarre coaching selection once again that he was kept in the side against a more nimble forward line.

    Thanks for the memories lads. Wish it could have ended better. Keep safe.

    Fritta is awful 

    Honestly should be traded. He is soooo soft and scared of any physicality, goes missing way too often and only bobs up with 1 or 2 when things are said and done. Woeful kicking skills and gets very little of it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • 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?
