I love how last year our flag was built off the coaching of our assistant coaches and now when we don't win it, it's all Goodwin's fault.

Exactly!!!! Some supporters just have it in for Goodwin

Have no idea what will happen with Jake Melksham from a contract point of view.

But Corowa Rutherglen Football Club have pretty much a senior coaching role for him to walk into if he is delisted.

Brother Darcy plays senior footy here for the Roos and his dad Dave is a development coach.

Are you from up that way DD, good mate of mine comes from Corowa, his mum still lives up there

But in their defence, when he eventually leaves the club they can say they were right all along and he wasn’t the right guy🤣🤣🤣

Albury mate. Grew up around the area so know Corowa inside out.

Missus family are big part of the Corowa Footy Club and have been for many years.

It's certainly a collective as a whole I agree and I have mentioned them as a group together.

Yze and his mids were poor during the finals series. The connection between Gawn and the mids was completely out of wack as it had been in certain parts of the year. We had two best ruck combo in the game and we got beaten around clearances far too easy for my liking.

I think Stafford will be under pressure the most to keep his job. Line coach of a pretty dysfunctional forward line wouldn't exactly look good on his record

I think Goodwin will reflect back on this year and know deep down if he had his time again he would have done things different.

We know he's a good coach as much as he's frustrated the hell out of me. He'll learn from it.

Said during the week that regardless what happens this finals series I'm genuinely excited we can do some serious damage next year.

If I could have my pick for 1 assistant coach, it’s Don Pyke.

What he does with speed of ball movement would be sensational for us

Rubbish, we would never have appointed him in the first place.  Didnt know the difference between brie and camembert.

Kane Cornes saying Kozzie Pickett in the sights of the two Adelaide clubs. 

If this happens pack the joint up

Kosi is contracted and has a serious girlfriend. 
Kane Cornes talks a lot of garbage. 

Glad he has a serious gf who hopefully loves living in Melb and would never consider moving interstate.

How does too much speed of ball movement gel with the defensive back 7 though? That's the balancing act.

I think it's giving licence to a certain few (as per my recent post in the game plan thread) and allowing some flexibility with the ebb and flow the game to take the game on more with the corridor.

Yep but as I said in other posts, the change has started but we’re not consistent with it and when we’re under pressure we go back to what we know.

The footage is there from round 15 onwards and it was evident in the first quarter last night

Have a look at Sydney he’s the architect of their ball movement, he had the Crows playing fast high tempo footy off rebound and I saw him at WAFL level do the exact same with the teams he coached

Yep, first 15 minutes was daring and had we kicked straight in that time we'd have been 6 or 7 goals up and it'd have been game over.

We reverted to safer ball movement and they got on top of us in the second half of that first quarter.

Yep part of it it is also the players having faith in the system and it being second nature

Our whole game style is playing not to lose. It’s a defeatists attitude that needs to change over summer.

He's contracted, no way we let him walk. Also Adelaide and Port are allegedly going to get Rankin and Dunkley respectively which will cost first rounders minimum, so they will have bugger all trade capital to make anything appealing to us. Next year is when we worry.

We got 1 year into JVR instead for the Dogs pick 17. no idea how Swans got it though. Great work again from JT

Has to do with the Crows getting Dees 2022 1st round and then traded to Swans for Jordan Dawson deal.  Wish we had Dawson.  Nonetheless JVR was worth the trade and hoping he’s another JT success.

Not only sacked him as coach but would have desisted him as a forward as well.

Any reason why we are not in the frame for Griffin Logue? and/or Lloyd Meek? Or is it a matter of Preferring Grundy on the same 700k bucks + taking a 1st into the draft?

Sorry off topic but when is the fixture for 2023 season released?

As soon as Geelong have decided who they’d like to play and where 😉

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
