Hate to say it but I think you may be right.

Question for the MFCSS types - have you been confident about a single game since Round 1, 2021? We'll win this and next week and be 8-4 going into KB. Have to say I'd be very tired being pessimistic all the time.

Expand  

Every time I get confidence we put up games like last week. Also our form line is nowhere near what the game / loss record suggests.

It was one game, Langdon wouldn't have made a difference to whether we won or lost.

Ed has played 17, 24, 23, 25 games since coming to the Dees. He is possibly the most no-fuss player on the list. Turns up almost every week, runs his butt off, then you never hear about him off-field.

Yes he is paid well to play AFL footy but it was one game. His sister shouldn't have to work her life around him.

sister getting married far more important than a job.

that said i would have tried to influence the date she chose and would definitely have told her to forget about September

We are currently sitting outside the 8.

There's no way sugar coating this, our form of late has not been up to a top 4 standard and we deserve to be in the position that we find ourselves. 

Drop tomorrow and things get very interesting from here on.

WCW was at training today. Maybe she could tell us if the boys had some Vicks Vaporub on.

Is this from the Chris Scott presser?

I’ve heard this rumour and I don’t think there’s any truth to it. Everyone was at training today and everyone looked just fine. The mood was great and the energy was infectious (poor choice of word 🤭). If anyone had Covid, they sure hid it well.

edit: that extends to the Casey players as well. They trained immediately after the firsts. All were there and no one was unwell.

We are in the midst of a slump and I doubt Goodwin has the coaching nuance to coach us out of it this week.

The writing has been on the wall for our forward structure for quite some time and he's even admitted that this week is going to be a "slog". You just know that means we'll score 60 points and some potato for St Kilda will kick a career high 5+ goals in a game-winning performance for them.

The longer it takes Goodwin and his team to realise that Fritsch should be played as an isolated key forward that can kick 50-60 goals a year ala Jack Reiwoldt, the longer we will be a middling finals and mid-table team.

Goodwin badly needs to reinvent how this team is coached and plays otherwise he risks turning into Ross Lyon 2.0 or Ken Hinkley 2.0. I'm willing to bet it won't happen this week and St Kilda paying $3+ is ridiculously good money. An underperforming good team is an easier beat, than an average team in the midst of a slump looking for a win.

Expand  

Classic Demonland. 

There’s a thread right now in which heaps of posters are bemoaning how much Goodwin has changed us this year and begging us to go back to what we were doing in 2022-23.

Thankfully the ladder isn’t determined by where teams sit in the middle of a round.

A win tomorrow will have us 5th, could have us 4th subject to percentage.
