As for the pressure meter on any given coach, the heat is going to be applied to Voss way more than Goodwin

If the Blues lose to Collingwood next Thursday, it will be on for young and old at Princes Park

Mind you, North lost their first 4 games in 1975 and were 3 & 6 after round 9 but then went on to win the flag that year

Can’t agree with this Macca, Carlton has some A grade talent then it drops away quite considerably. We have considerably more talent that is not playing to its potential or as in your previous post as a team.

    I feel like it hasn’t been mentioned in the north game thread (unless I missed it), but same as us now, they don’t have a Nibbler or Gus type player that interrupts the tide from rolling against them.

    Not only do we not have a Nibbler or Gus type, we also don’t have a Jordon or Bedford type, who can lock down a mid/forward who is hurting us.

    I agree with what you are saying but I reckon Carlton & Voss is the bigger story in eyes of the media & public

    Good God

    Just switched on Kayo and the promo picture for the Giants v Hawks game was Sicily and Toby Greene.

    I was about to eat dinner. Shheeesh.

    Looks more like a picture extolling the benefits of birth control.

    Both of them can come and play for us anytime

    Macca is the best . Macca is the best.

    Has anyone else noticed you can change other peoples posts when quoting them?

    Like Macca being the best.

    By golly it's tempting.

    Haha!

    As for whether Voss & Carlton is the bigger story, I'm not so sure after today

    I honestly thought we'd redeem ourselves today, but a 10 goal loss?

    Our ball movement is just soooooo slow

    The whole squad needs to be reprogrammed but to change in such a dramatic fashion requires a total buy-in

    And the plan has to make sense as well

    New plan with a total buy-in probably requires a new voice but is the club going to cut ties with the coach in season?

    I can't see us doing it again but we did so with Balme, Daniher, Bailey & Neeld

    So we've got form in the in-season sacking dept.

    I don’t think we can afford to wait another 20 weeks of our current system

    It’s completely busted

    Any insight as to why we overlooked Hogan, as he spoke to the club 2020 trade period, We took BB played his part, but I’d say hogan & Neitz were our last contested power fwds

    The question is not about your view (or my view) on whether Goodwin stays or goes

    It's out of hands and in the clubs hands

    I've always felt that our opinions mean nothing to clubs ... they are going to do what they are going to do

    All we can hope for is that the club can make good decisions as we are powerless to change things ourselves

    All our words have no impact. They are just words

    But if things don't improve, they'll sack Goodwin. But when?

    Tonight would be the right thing to do

    Jeeelong next Friday is not worth thinking about

    That is an absolutely on-point rant from Snapper. Sums up the entire rot at Carlton for a decade.

    As for Hawthorn fans, pretty sure lube and tissues come with the membership pack.

    For anyone watching Hawks-Giants, is there a massive wind at UTAS tonight or was it just a really weird first half?

    Feels like I’ve traveled 10 years backwards in time. Melbourne are 💩 and Hawthorn are back to their insufferable best. Terrible year to be a footy fan.

    it's thoroughly dee-pressing

    What we want to happen and what will actually happen are often poles apart

    Richmond are a good example. For all their feral support, they were non competitive for close on 35 years

    It took people like Gale, Balme, Hardwick and others to get their club going until they finally achieved success

    And the success they achieved was not something their supporters even expected after decades in the wilderness

    And then from nowhere, 3 flags in 4 years

    So in many ways, we get what we are given

    As previously stated, if things don't improve, the coach will get the flick

    The flag gets Goodwin more time as does his overall W/L record along with finals participation in 2018, 2022 & 2023.

    And even if he is sacked in season, I don't expect any sort of improvement with a caretaker coach.

    The sport is too professional these days for someone to just come in and turn things around with a magic wand

    Our issues run deep and to able to implement a totally new game will not just need the right coach, but the right types of talented, coachable players

    not strictly true; they made three straight elimination finals 2013-15, losing them all, then dipped in 2016 before the glorious 2017-2020 run

    they developed slowly, much as we did leading up to and including 2018, before the serious dip in 2019, leading to the 2021-23 period

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
