Anyone got a positive?

I think I'm going to get some long overdue sympathetic action from the missus tonight. I hope I go better than my team.

This might be the loss that finally nails Goodys coffin

You would pharking hope so.

How much can a supporter base take.

Are there any clauses in the final 2 years of Goody's contract?

They couldn't be that dumb could they?

Media can smell blood in the water. Just put up a graphic of Goodwin’s record since the 2018 prelim during his presser. 12 wins. 25 losses.

Rivers should return to WA as soon as he can. Don’t waste your career at the rabble kid. 

Look for the Power Clubs to come calling on more players  than Rivers after this season. petracca for one. The dream is over.

List quality is different.. not maximising list quality is career suicide 

Depends where you think the list quality is at I guess!

We can agree to disagree. My estimate pre-season was that we'd finish between 6th - 12th (and I think most judges thought that).


Why does, whoever the opposing team is, clear the ball from our F50 so easily,  then spread to our unmanned wing delivering it into their f50 with a series of uncontested marks. The Dees conversely struggle to clear if from our d50, kicking it to a contest on the congested wing usually losing possession. If we win the ball, we expend maximum energy doing so. 
Just seems an obvious flawed strategy. Can someone explain please?

Couch discussion was so good, and like him or not Lyon nailed everything about the club and the side. 

 

I wasn’t watching but I’m just laughing about the fact that people were upset that Lyon wasn’t more positive after we beat North Melbourne I think it was a few weeks ago.

Goodwin has lost me. Bartlett must act now. We can't have another year or 2 of these gutless, heartless performance. Outcoached two weeks in a row when our season was on the line. [censored]

Did they not look at a forecast before playing Preuss?

The players can take some blame too. Mentally fragile.

Straight up the middle ....don't mess around on the flanks ?

I'm sick of Goody mentioning the 'tough conditions' - they're the SAME BLOODY conditions that Freo played in!


14 Melbourne players with 7 or less kicks

206 to 98 uncontested possessions to Freo

74 to 32 marks to freo

 

Embarrassing, inept, disgusting, putrid

 

Goodwin's last game

We are one game closer to Goodwin getting the sack. I got nothing else.

Yep.

Agree with almost every criticism here but I have one more to add. We have one of the best taggers in the comp James Harmes, who has wasted away at half back every game without tagging once this year. The week he comes out injured we decide that tagging is actually a viable tactic, and throw a ball using half forward onto one of the biggest and best contested mids in the game. Fyfe 22 touches and 7 clearances. Melksham 9 touches and 2 clearances. Beyond a joke at this point.

If you go to the third quarter with about 4.30 left on the clock, you can watch Melksham tag his own team mate by grabbing AVBs guernsey as he's trying to bust clear of a pack at half forward.

Melksham has been woeful this year but never gets dropped.

Truth Doesn't fit the narrative sometimes.

This presser is giving us absolutely nothing information wise. Platitudes like we need to be ruthless. We need to play better footy. We need to get better at all phases of the game. What an utter waste of time. Treat the supporters with respect.

Goody

Freo were better than us

have to rely on other results - wtf

we need to get more ruthless - sack himself

where in it together

good we have experience of nearly being in finals

where not quite there - please

we were boring but intensity ramped up after half time

disappointing - understatement

two game to go simple be better

focus on what we can control

prepare as best we can. Bingo where going to work incredibly hard

Lyon cut him asunder about being ruthless. Stop talking DO

Lyon no answers well done Gary


Why the [censored] risk Jackson?? Put him in cotton wool for [censored] sake

Goodwin coaching to save himself it's the reason he swung the axe and brought in guys like Baker and Bedford. His press conference was all about deflection talking about the broader club. He must know he's on his last legs.

I have to say that I’ve always thought Lyon is constantly negative, but he has been proven right. Unfortunately 2018 was the aberration - we are nowhere near it - and, as he says, not playing as a team.

Nothing like winning your old clubs first flag since 1964 to get the appetite going...

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
