MFC under Goodwin - unproven yet entitled.

Needs to hand back the keys to the ferrari (to borrow a phrase from Hutchy re: Leon Cameron).

Goodwin has been driving the Ferrari for a couple of years now. 

He had some of the biggest, if not the biggest, expectations on him going into 2020 and COVID/Season 2020 as we now know it has seemingly deflected the spotlight away from this. Plus there's the narrative going around that no club could possibly part ways with senior coaches this year.

I think he's going to make it through, but there cannot be anywhere to hide in 2021.

For what it's worth, the mind still boggles with the four year contract extension ahead of the 2019 season, when seemingly there was no threat of him going elsewhere anyway. 

The thing is, even winning the last 3 matches doesn't make up for yesterday's crap. I actually want to lose now to hopefully be the catalyst for Goodwin to get sacked and Oscar McDonald to go.

The dees aint no ferrari

The dees are one of the 1970s Mazda cars with a rotary engine, perhaps the 1972  RX-3. Great fun to drive, fast and great speed to weight ratio.

Can perform remarkably well. When on are super exciting. But break down way too often, are temperamental and unpredictable and parts are all but impossible to find. As are mechanics who know their way around a rotary engine.

 

Joel Smith.

He polarises opinion on D'land and I'm not a fan but he kept the Swans biggest threat and best forward goal less yesterday.

So, credit where it's due.

I take your point Bman, and agree too.

Driving the 1972 RX-3 doesn't have the same ring to it.

For mine, they're a Ford Mustang: dominant and iconic in the 1960's with subsequent iterations showing signs but ultimately delivering slumping results and failing to capture the imagination of the public.

The mustang is great anaology. 

Did Ford inexplicably sack the designer of the Mustang in the 1960s?

The two guys who missed set shots from inside 20m in the last.  Both of those misses went down the other end and ended in goals to the Swans.  They are responsible for 23 points in Sydney's favour from two shanked kicks. 

If the first one is a goal, then the ball goes back to the centre.

Funny you should say that Angry, i blame myself too. 

Can't believe what i was thinking posting on here pre game that i thought Smith would play on Papely. I mean i know i was right, he did play on Papley.

But for me to have suggested he had the speed, athleticism and mongrel to go with Papely is just nuts.

Which is where the blame came in. i know Goody made that selection and match up based on my posts here on Demonland, he said as much when we chatted this morning.

When i aplogised i asked him why he kept Smith on him all game, Goody was clearly perplexed, replying:

"'no binman, you've got it wrong, i was calling to thank you. It was the only selection that actually worked. As you so presciently said Smith had the speed, athleticism and mongrel to go with Papely. 

Why did i keep him on him? Maybe you stopped watching, wouldn't blame you if you did - i wanted to. But Papely didn't kick a goal for the game. Created one, but really was pretty quiet.

As you flagged 2 or less goals is a win and he kicked a bagel. Imagine how much we would have lost by if Papely got of the chain."

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
