Rubbish comment mate.

A brilliant coaching performance against the odds tonight.

If it weren't for a few dodgy decisions we had this.

Umm no.

We needed a totally 100 % fit ruck.... if we only had one.. 

We needed to take Max away from all the ILLEGAL  scragging..   We needed to be clever we weren't.  That's down to the Coaches.  Stafford obviously has nfi.  Why does Goody allow that ?? 

We can't kick for [censored]....thats someone's dept. 

There were elements we did better tonight.

But lost at selection...and direction.

 

I will say... the 2 blokes in yellow should be in the club votes for Carlton. 

 

To all the happy clappers...yeah.. Goodwin is a [censored] genius.

Be proud Simon... grasp it...own it...    

OUT IN SETS 2 YEARS RUNNING 

9.17  fmd...

    Agree, picked absolutely the right team. 

    Need a big summer of skill work but you can’t drastically improve skills of limited players with no key forwards to influence ball movement.

    Healthy forwards and a touch of class will change things. Just a matter of whether we can snag a couple of ready to play forward and mid options, plus develop the likes of Howes, Woey, Laurie, Chandler who can potentially all take us forward.

    Thought we got outcoached tonight.

    Having Josh Schache as the unused "super-sub" was an utter waste of time!

    Simon Goodwin has a lot of "learnings" to do over the off season.

    No he didn't 

    You're somewhat skewed in your understanding mate.

    Thought you knew better. My bad

    I dont really mind Insane or Genius... but he's definitely not the latter.

    He's a victim and a slave to his ID

    I can understand having your ideas but not seeing their fallibility is another thing.

    Our game plan is a bit of a dogs breakfast..

    And the coaches need replacing.

    For my mind we need a shake up of the assistant group again to freshen the messages up. Yze off to Tigers, Stafford out all together and perhaps choccos goal kicking practice can be quietly shut down

    Agree with most of that

    Lack of composure, lack of skill development. For the most part our players have either regressed or stagnated.

    Trac same wobbles from last year, Kozzy gets carried away by the emotions, even Fritsch looked woobly in these finals.

    Our most accurate kicks are JVR and Fritta. Need one KPF that can mark our long bombs and kick goals.

    That one KPF would be Petty. When he went down, so did our chances this year.

    After tonite I am leading towards the insane category. Then again most geniuses are a stubbie short of a 6 pack as well.

    Chocco's certainly not doing the learn to kick footys he's trying to sell any favours.

    Staffords gotta go.
    He's had years to sort this forward line.
    But hasn't done anything.
    At all.

    I feel like there is genius to come yet again from Simon. Don't ask why, just one of those dumb hunches.

    A tweak in personel and he'll be the right guy again.

    I think Goodwin coached quite well tonight. He got the game on our terms for large parts of each quarter.

    The reality is that we didn’t take our chances as a team with the ball in hand. There’s not much a coach can do in that circumstance.

    Simon can take accountability for the game style, and movement of the ball to an extent, but those final shots at goal aren’t on him. Max just needed to stand up and kick one of his 2 shots. Fritsch the same.

    There needs to be a shake up. Fresh faces with new ideas.

    but tonight is on the players. They flunked it big time.

    Unfortunately Weideman lacked the physicality that JVR relishes on the field.

    It's the single thing that prevented him to become a top 10 forward in the AFL.

    And his accuracy from set shots.

    Truth be told, AFL coaches get great tenure and loyalty. If this was UK or American sport, he’d be walking on eggshells with the list he’s got and the finals output over the past two seasons. Yes, goal kicking yips cost us both games, but management/coaches wear it. EPL team managers get sacked months into the following season after winning silverware.

    Against the odds? Why was that ? We gave them the game through our poor and undisciplined play. 
    Kossie nearlly won us the game but he needs disciplinine.

    EPL is a league without any salary cap restrictions funded by blood money. I prefer the AFL way.

    That has to be on the head coach surely. And if it happens in 2 finals in a row, he's going to have to alter and evolve his coaching philosophy over summer, as the club isn't getting it done enough against the big dogs.

     

    Agreed Great call.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
