Best part of this thread is  the match by match interpretations and then the inference of whether he is committed, or what his trade price is.

    Just count your lucky stars that nobody has been brave or stupid enough to dig up the 'Is Goodwin The Right Guy?" thread... yet.

    Someone started a thread after the game last night. Reckoned we should have got Clarkson in. Mods must have deleted it

    Well, if I can get sacked after coaching a team to 9 straight wins in a season long ago, then a Premierhip and drought breaking coach should be right in the gun....

    Not🤨

    Hasten to add the team I coached played finals but was out after 1 game!

    Goodwin is as much to blame as the entire FD. We have lost all our games in a very similar way to last night and there hasn’t been anything there to suggest we are a threat to any of Geelong, Pies or Swans. 

    There will be more fringe teams that will improve and trouble us next year if we don’t change in some way. Thing is I’m not sure we have the cattle to play a more attacking and corridor based plan.

    He's Nic Nat 2.0, let Freo take him

    Only on Demonland is 'Nic Nat 2.0' an insult.

    It's a shame this 'Nic Nat vs Watts' draft debate has skewed peoples perception so much that posters have missed out on appreciating how good Nic Nat has been.

    Should be dropped for Weideman next week.

    Jackson is stealing valuable ruck minutes off the best ruckman in the league and you’d back Weid over Jackson as a mostly stay at home forward.

    Saw Weid last night after the game and told him well done last week and he thanked me. Was with Tom Mac and a couple of others.

    Such a pity that the Weid of the Geelong final a few years ago, could have made a huge difference yesterday.

    If Luke wants Freo then we should demand they trade for a top 5 pick for us plus another later 1st rounder (maybe future). They got pick 6 and a future 3rd for Cerra.

    We have TMac and Brown 30/31 next year. JvR coming through but we need another young KPF which we could get with a top 5 pick.

    Our forward cohesion is letting us down ATM.

    If Jackson nominates Freo, can we demand a straight swap for Hayden Young?
    I know he signed a long extension, but he’s a gun and looks like he’ll own a position on the AA HBF for years to come. Could become a mid too IMO.

    I’d love it if we could make that happen, but no way Freo let him go.

    Him or Serong. We need to look to re- energise our half backline with speed and skill. Salem and Brayshaw won’t be the answer to speed up our ball movement and transition. 
     

    If we can put more speed on the ball, Weid may have a chance to have an impact.

    Speed on the ball where BBB and Fritta can actually lead… I’d like to see that.

    Players are aware of poor games and my instinct  tells me he will be back st his best next week. Dropping or threatening is not the way for vital players to be treated. 
    Gawny was not impacting greatly either but one game doesn't mean the same result next week. 
    A tweaking of game plans can do wonders with the ability Goody has to work with.

    Speed is just not running its taking the game on and moving the ball positively swapping angles and length. 

    Rivers and Salem and Bowey can all do that. As can other defenders if we make a concerted effort with a positive game plan. 

    And don't kick to the forward pocket all the time it's defensive and hard to score from there.

    I'd play Petracca forward, Jackson as a mid, bring in Wied as backup ruck/forward, and drop Brown.

    Not sure Trac offers much as a stay at home forward. He need to be in the game

    I actually think they cannot. Salem is a mile off 2021 form and is really back to his pre 2021 form where he was just serviceable and would have a above avg game every 4-5 matches. 

    Bowey is a great kick but is a small body with not a lot of speed. He may come good in a few years but at this stage his trajectory is looking to be more of a role player. Rivers ,  No.

    You may not accept this assessment, but to implement a fast ball movement game plan, you simply cannot rely on the guys above given what we have seen this year. 

    If only Hunt was a more reliable kick and an a-grade decision maker.

    I reckon we ask for that and if they say no ask for 3 first round picks, including one top 5 pick. If they say Young is a gun and we don't trade our young guns, then we say and Luke isn't.

    Probably have a bigger goal return than Brown's 1 goal.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
