Didn't the skipper just the other day question our culture? For mine Monday's game is just so important. I still can't believe whats occurred over the last 3 weeks. Even though I was pretty harsh on us prior to the  season I still had us finishing anywhere from 1 - 12. Prior the WC game I was feeling pretty good even after losing to Carlton again. But sheesh WC followed up by Freo?? I have no idea where we stand as a team atm, I'm leaning toward all talk but we still have just enough time to surge. I do believe we load at this time and trust that we've set ourselves for the Pies. To have any 2024 cred we kinda have to win this.

Enough is enough - talk

[Ethan Tremblay 31,388]

Blah blah. 

[Wodjathefirst 2,671]

Need motivation? Do it for Neale, Gus, Goody, supporters, beating effing Collingwood….. self pride. Take your pick, or mix and match.

Season defining game

[censored] these posts are tiresome. 

Do you say this in response to every word uttered by an MFC person after a loss?

Goodwin’s fronted up to a pre-arranged interview and has answered a bunch of questions more thoroughly than he usually would. Including what may be the concession many needed to hear - that the changes we’ve made aren’t working and have robbed us of our identity. 

Literally no one reads these articles and goes “OK all is fine now”. We all wait to see what actually happens on game day. So FFS do we have to run the “talk is cheap” thing every [censored] time?

Is Simon Goodwin trying to bait Demonlanders into breaching the Moderators' banner warning on culture/off field behaviours, etc?

Makes it hard for invested posters to traverse the various boundaries inherent in these topics.

Perhaps he should just shut up and coach the team!? 🤷‍♂️

I find this tiresome

Coach says nothing.  Demonland:  "Why isn't the club explaining what is going on?  Where's our Comms Team?"

Coach gives interview.  Demonland:  "Blah blah blah.  Talk is cheap.   Let's see some action."

There's a Circle of Parity developing here...

Coach (and Team) act, successfully. Demonland: "Where was that in the last month" and/or "Too little, too late" and/or "Yeah, but what about next week?" and/or...

Coach...       Demonland:

Well done Kangas. Only Collingwood should ever go through a season winless.

Fair play to Goody for opening up. He has every reason never to speak to the press.

You could never accuse Simon of not fronting up. 

Now we have to front up on Monday. Get on with the job.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

I have no faith the club will move Goodwin on, and I don’t think he’s getting through to the playing group. Whatever the reason, his message seems stale. The club should be looking to replace Goodwin. I can’t see this list getting to a grand final anytime soon.
