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

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....

Not๐Ÿคจ

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 hasnโ€™t been anything there to suggest we are a threat to any of Geelong, Pies or Swans.ย 

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

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 youโ€™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 heโ€™s a gun and looks like heโ€™ll own a position on the AA HBF for years to come. Could become a mid too IMO.ย

Iโ€™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 wonโ€™t be the answer to speed up our ball movement and transition.ย

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

Speed on the ball where BBB and Fritta can actually leadโ€ฆ Iโ€™d like to see that.

Jackson needs to be dropped on his putrid game this week, heck Id even bring in Weeds!

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

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

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

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

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.ย 

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 , ย 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.ย 

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

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.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
