Canโ€™t see Goody staying if we finish bottom 4

I want us to finish bottom 4. The pimple needs to be popped. Whatever it takes to force change

Who will get axed first Voss or Goodwin? ๐Ÿค”

Who will the Blues & Dees target as a replacement? Longmire, Simpson ... or even Buckley ๐Ÿ˜

Hopefully Goodwin and who cares anyone is better !

Viney did 12 centre bounces tonight, out of 22.

Oliver, Langford and Pickett all did more.

Those three should be in the centre bounce, Viney should be there for a lot less than half of them, if at all at this point.

Oliver is there for his clearance work, Pickett has speed and X factor and Langford for his potential and ball use.

Viney simply doesn't have any of those things going for him right now. He's a legend of the club but the coaches aren't doing his longevity any favours by persisting with him in that role.

Anyone who knows me from bigfooty knows Iโ€™ve been calling goodwins head since halfway through 2022. That year required strong leadership. They played like drunk millionaires .

The first 10 games disguised a massive issue with clubs attitude and the game plan. That winning start to the season comprised of wins where we played poorly and relied on one burst to kick a score to win as well as 2 games where we couldnโ€™t put away north and WC.

Anyone who looked deeper than just the W/L tally could see there were real issues already.

As usual , [censored] poor leadership at the club meant that the grandfinal hangover was a certainty . Goodwin refused to adapt his game plan and thought it would just happen for them. Delusional

Weโ€™ll need around about 8/9 wins from the next 19 rounds to not finish bottom 4.

If we lose to west coast or Richmond in the next few rounds then I cannot see that happening. We are so far behind other teams.


What is the point of continuing with goody now, we wonโ€™t be playing finals again the team has gone backwards again this year and every year since 2021. I remember vividly when we called time on Daniher everyone was sad but knew it was time with Goodwin I donโ€™t think I will have any sadness just a question of why we didnโ€™t do it sooner. Every year I feel more and more Goodwin got extremely lucky in 2021 that everything just came together and he was just a passenger, good coaches donโ€™t have teams drop off a cliff like this when seemingly all the peaces are there.

We are miles behind . A lot of overrating of our youngsters. Langford and Lindsay are the real deal, clean, thoughtful and reliable with disposal. The rest are cameos at best.

Bowey maintains a consostency, but hes never going to dominate or reach AA leve. Mcvee might as a specialist BP thats about it. Years of wilderness ahead i fear

Even if our top picks all work out our depth just isnโ€™t there once our older players leave or retire, itโ€™s going to be a long and painful 4-5 years at minimum

"We have work to do".

Every week the same comment.

When does it start, you absolute fraud? Look how unfit half our list is.

Taking nothing away from 2021, because we were magnificent, but it is clear as day that we only got it together and won a flag because the players weren't able to freely access the same "temptations" that you can indulge in when you're not in a quarantined hotel.

Yeah I worry that those two could get ruined and become our new versions of Grimes and Trengove.

Anyone see Petracca pissing himself laughing at the centre bounce to start the second quarter?

We're definitely not playing team first desperate footy.

There was some debate over AJ vs Fritsch back a page or two.

I don't think AJ will ever be one of our best but at least he's showing leadership with his contests and second efforts. He works for his team mates and worked really hard again today.

Goodwin never seems to follow through and drop our first tier players for their lack of form, effort and team first competitive attitude.

We might find one or two Neville Jettas on the fringe if we put some solid game time into a few. That doesn't mean running them as sub for two weeks getting splinters in their [censored] then dropping them.

Gawn is now starting to slide and it does my head in to see JVR, our number one forward who seems completely wigged out right now having to play second ruck.

He is completely devoid of confidence.

There's a few out there at the moment that are not busting their guts for their coach or their team mates.

That's unnacceptable


Goodwin's not going anywhere, at least not before his contract is up at the end of 2026.

Get over yourselves. So many bizarre posts, unconnected to reality.

Viney is cooked, game has passed him by, too slow and just hacks the ball forward , when he does get it which isn't enough!

Correct..

So what do we do in the meantime when he was showing this last year? Offer him a [censored] 4 year deal.

Gut the joint starting with Lamb, Goodwin and Griffiths.

I perhaps wasn't as strong calling for Goodwin out in 22 but I flagged a lot of issues at the time too and got my head chopped off. Wasn't hard to see if you really looked.

You seem happy about this. Concerning.

There is no way he can continue now. Club has to stop the rot and that means taking hard decisive action. We have been going backwards each year since our premiersjip

I didnโ€™t see Petracca laughing but he was very filthy in the 4th quarter. Lots of yelling at players for not running, pointing at opposition getting loose and at the final siren threw his mouthguard into the ground and walked away.


What a bad coaching job last night.

Letting the cats have a spare behind the ball all night is A+ Trump style thinking.

Every time they panned to Goodwin in the box he had a stunned dumb look on his face, not talking to the other assistants, not on the phone, just a blank I have no idea look.

Enjoy the next 19 weeks, cos there is no way Green will have the fortitude to sack him.

Essendrug will end up with pick 3 and we will enter next year with the same boring [censored] game plan, love and learnings.

Played not to lose by 10 goals. Embarrassing gutless coach who couldn't coach a semi attacking game plan if his life depended on it.

I know how to solve things and win a premiership next year -bring back COVID and we play the granny in W.A. ` simple.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasnโ€™t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals. ย

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturdayโ€™s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFLโ€™s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Womenโ€™s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the womenโ€™s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayโ€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andย  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
