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."

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
