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.

    • 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

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