Well, taking them out of their role if they fail to carry out instructions is a good point

So I've got Sparrow & Viney out of the team as both offer nothing much right now

But Fritsch & JVR were offering very little and both got dropped. So a good proportion here got what we wanted but that now means our forward line is threadbare

So there's always a consequence and we have no real depth

Fritsch is at the crossroads and JVR is overrated. He can't create seperation like good forwards do

Maybe as the 3rd tall but he's not a 1 or 2. He may improve of course but he needs to

I reckon Fritsch should have been dropped earlier and Fullerton brought in to support jvr.

By dropping jvr and fritch together our new fwds are on a hiding to nothing

Maybe SG wants Fritsch and jvr to go to Casey to work on their'connection"

Revealed on Fox Footy that if we pay him out before end of his deal (2026) then we have to pay 100% of his remaining salary. Could be anywhere between 1.5-2 million. This would be included in the cap spend for football department spend meaning we'd likely have to pay a luxury tax of 75 cents for every dollar over up to a million, which would be likely given we'd have to pay good coin to get a half decent coach in. Club heavily scrutinised because most coached only have a 3-6 month payout clause. Goodwin has a full contract payout clause.

So basically... unless he resigns we'll be with him for a while. I couldn't see us justifying that payout unless they have a good coach lined up.

So it could cost the club up to $3Million, all up (to sack Goodwin)

That's a lot of money when considering we're now out of the pokies coupled with only 2 money making MCG games this season (and the Tigers clash may see a smallish crowd to boot)

There's no way Goodwin walks away from that sort of money either

Folks here need to be prepared for a long season. Unless we come good of course

We are not giving Goodwin 3 million bucks to depart the Goodship MFC. I can't see it

Neither. In fact it's probably made me against sacking Goodwin and giving him the time to reboot and right the ship now.

It was a fairly ruthless call as it lessens whatever chance we had of winning today

Anyway, on to the game!

As for Bedford? We all saw the potential?

That's a stretch. He showed some promise, that's it

Weren't too many broken hearts when he went ... until he started playing well

Hindsight is your friend, Dazzle

I live in the real world

Not sure if you're just bored and playing devils avocat today Macca.

I saw Bedfords potential from his 1st draft clips.
He had what we needed .... Speed and liked to kick a goal.
Didn't get a run at it cause he couldn't get past the one paced Premiership medallion wearing coach favourite Spargo.

As for Jordan, he was never the flashy player but if he had the ball I was confident it was going to another guy in a red & blue jumper.
He too struggled to get a run at it as he was most often relegated to sub and as far as I was concerned it was a disgrace that Goodwin couldn't or wouldn't get him onto the ground grand final day.
Haven't seen what he's been doing lately tho' but from what I gather he's a good tagger.
I don't think Goodwin was ever big on taggers as he'd always back our mids in.
I was disappointed for Jordan and understood exactly why he went looking for opportunities elsewhere.

The Bedford decision was definitely disappointing from my end.
But hey, I aint the coach, I don't make the decisions on list management or gameplan (much to my dismay).
But if I did we'd be doin' things a hell of alot differently.
We'd be playing fast, aggressive and what I like to call "entertaining" footy and drawing more than 25k to home MCG games.
And I'll tell ya somethin' else for nothin'.
If I thought any player was bludging or not doin' what I told 'em.
They wouldn't be playin'.

Jury is still out but today was a pressure release.

We have to atleast play with that amount of pressure and intensity as a bare minimum for the rest of the season

After the final siren, players celebrating, Gawn and Goodwin meet, NO sweet embrace, Max deadpan even scowlish, turns to Langford then smiles, Goodwin looking somewhat confused.

Strange

PS. Great win today.

We keep winning, no problems for Goodwin.

However, lose one of the next two then todays win doesn’t mean much.

Credit to Goodwin, he said during the week Saturday will be better & see improvement & the wheels will turn.

But if we lose either of the next 1 or 2 the pressure will be back.

With the size of the payout there's no new coach coming. Goodwin will coach next year.

I’m happy I’m wrong. Extremely. Nice to see the team turn up.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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. Ā 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 Ā 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.Ā
