    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
