    I was listening to it and  and spewed with Coll/wood being in front by 7 odd goals something like that at half time.

    I remember listening to the radio and they were calling it over Carlton cannot possibly win.  seems like yesterday.

    Yes it’s great to hear the different calls

    I had only heard Ch7 up until today

    Thanks for that SWYL. Has got to be the greatest Plan B performance by any coach, ever. Barassi was a genius.

    i wonder what Goodwin would have done at half time if he were in Barassi’s shoes?

    tbh it would be a lot harder today, so many tactics have been used and abused since 1970, to play on was radical!

    But Goodwin certainly has a lot of work to do on his Matchday Coaching

    He seems to work better from the Bench.

    Stared thoughtfully out of the coaches box rubbing his chin....and did nothing.

    Yay, another unrelated thread turns into Goodwin bashing.

    I blame the pandemic on Goodwin, he had no plan P

    Great get, Sir WYL, thanks for sharing. Goodwin-Bashing shall hereafter be referred to as a 'Fan-Demic'. Participants in such activity should immediately be tested... or at least seek medical advice!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
