Interesting to me that  he said " ruthless as a whole club" 

When you think that the Bulldogs just had their travel schedule altered so that they don't fly and play on the same day and were " outraged" to be asked ...it made me connect the dots a little. Some yes, but not ALL of this is on Goody and the players. Where the [censored] was the pushback and outrage from our president? There is no WAY the pies, the eagles, Geelong etc etc would have sat back and let that happen. There is no way they would have been asked. That single decision to stay quiet  imo  sent this season into free fall. The players were sold down the river by a gutless president. 

None of the clubs are using this season or the draw as an excuse this year.  They acknowledge that it is challenging, and preparation is harder, sure.    Have not heard any of the presidents really kicking up a fuss though.  Imo the one chance we did have to kick up a fuss was the Essendon game.  We should have pushed hard for the 4 points.  i believe if the shoe was on the other foot and was Essendon they would have pushed hard and got the 4 points.  MFCSS, perhaps, i don't think we take a strong stance when we have all the reason in the world to do so.

    Well, at least ONE did. The bulldogs did and had their travel arrangements changed. You may be right re the Essendon game but right at that point no one knew how many times it would be happening in the year . There was the possibility of multiple forfeits which would kill the TV money. That was a losing battle but playing on the same day as flying was a fight we could and should have won.

    Hmm probably right, it is a battle we could have pushed for a lot harder.  On the flip-side now it can be used as another excuse or reason.  What do we stand for ultimately?  Do we stand up to the AFL ever?  No, because they give us $$$.

    Last year our draft was compromised due to GC getting a raft of concessions.  We were as much of a basket case of them for that season.  We roll over when push comes to shove.  Just imagine Kennetts or Eddies reaction if they were facing similar...You would not hear the end of it, they would use the media to pressure the AFL into making a decision in their favour.  Something i have rarely seen us do.

    Seens that way doesn’t it, pity we didn’t find out about flexibility

    Many have knocks on him for being in some way sub par in their minds, but I think if we could clone Jack Viney's never say die attitude, I think we'd be well on the way to the ruthless attitude required.  Jack was the stand out player for us last week that looked like they were trying their guts out from the get go, till the bitter end against Freo.  I wouldn't say he was the only one (Gawn, Clarry, Langdon, Hunt and perhaps Fritsch) we the others that came to mind), but Jack certainly set the tone - what we need is for everyone to have that effort and intensity every game.

    There was a time when Flemington/Kensington was an area of ruthless slaughterman and inter-generational criminals.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
