Goodwin is the equivalent of a downhill skiing coach. He needs all cylinders firing and the opposition to be spooked. We lose games the same way every bloody time and we play at this [censored] every [censored] year. We don't play to respect the opposition, we are so obsessed with *our* way and we just hope we'll find a breakthrough. Good coaches consistently know how to defend against it. The losses look the same every damn time.

The Goodwin gameplan has rendered us a diabolical [censored] heap when transitioning and connecting with the forwards.

His solution will be 'try harder'.

Even when we win it is bloody arduous to watch.

Thank [censored] I made it to Perth to see a winning GF because this era is over. Burgess, support coaches and the players themselves were the key drivers. Goodwin obviously played a role but he wasn't a catalyst.

    Feels similar to the Port loss.. wet night, we didn’t adjust and the opposition took opportunities by more composure 

    Except Port are good

    Let’s not totally blame ANB for the loss, we can also blame Fritsch for that idiotic dangerous tackle.

    Can throw Chandler's miss in the 3rd. Awful in the big moments

    Flat as. 


    HQ be happy, top 4 right open. Their fave outside the Pies back in the hunt. 

    Lol

    I have no idea why I come on here during losses… the some of the negativity is so over the top. Incredible.

    Putrid 1Q and 4Q though. But the 4Q is all about us pressing too high and fumbling/losing contests when we’re all goal side. To day the cats blew us away is to suggest it’s because they were so dynamic, it was all out positioning and skill in bad area.

    Agree on ANB. Just grab the ball man.. so frustrating.

    Shocker from Gawn

    Melbourne 2021

    Geelong 2022

    Potentially Port 2023

    All quick burst scoring with just sheer brute speed and perfection in the middle. Teams get spooked and you're behind before you even realise it's 10 goals difference.

    We had our moment in 2021. The days of Richmond, Hawthorn, Brisbane type flags are over (for now).

    Yep, and I think it gets lost but the Hawks and Tigers eras came off the back of heavily compromised drafts periods. This is what the AFL wants.

    There should be a lot of nervous blokes heading into the review. At least 6 who are horribly scared of body contact 

    I’d love to see one game this year where we hit up targets instead of bombing it on heads.

    Fritta and Kossie are not taking marks against this backline in the dry, no chance in the wet

    If only we had a tall proven lead-up forward goal kicker to bring into the team.

    • 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.
