Smelling like a 10 goal loss. Also, my statement post Chandler's 3 goal game against North was that he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games. He has kicked... checks notes.... 1. Why do we have small forwards that can't average more than a goal a game getting a kick?

Skill errors almost unbelievable for an AFL team.

But the good news is that we have only three problems to fix:

  1. A dysfunctional defence.

  2. A lacklustre midfield.

  3. A non-existent forward line.

Fixed spelling.

 

Let’s face it we are never going to stop bombing it in. Knowing that wtf is Goodwin doing playing a forward line full of midgets. Might as well play disco roo Aidan johnson and jeffo so we have a chance

i'm a perceptive supporter not a 'die hard' because why would i die hard when they persisted with Goodwin when it was clear that he was not allowing the best of our players. we recruited Nate Jones of all people to coach, with no coaching credentials, purely on sentiment, and we arguably did the same with Brad Green.
When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

I don't wish to pile [censored] on Melbourne, but I'm trying to have a perceptive and critical discussion about it.

Unfortunately for you I have developed a soft spot for Collingwood because even though many of they're supporters are horrible, the club has a spirit that wouldn't allow pure sentiment to cloud their vision for their prosperity and the welfare of the players.

That being said, my line of reasoning is much more caring to our players than supporters who just say "great we have Nate Jones coaching and Goodwin still there, fantastic!" without seeing how catastrophic this has been for the welfare and prosperity of kids like Petracca and the younger echelon of Rivers etc. who are trying to live full and unhindered footballing careers

You Go Away, youve probably got no guts to stand up for what this club needs.

If you have a “soft spot” for Collingwood you can F off now Sunshine.

I am not interested in your philosophical rants…

Given our fourth quarter drop offs, we could be looking at a very ugly margin.

Can't even begin to comprehend how badly we are going to get smashed by freo next week.

Goodwin has killed this team. Purely in a football context (not personally) I hate everything about him.

 

2nd

🤮Spargo 3 missed tackles

🤮Bowey spare. Ridley spare. Bombers uncontested marks in defence

🤮chip chip chip chip TURNOVER

🤮Spargo setup Langdon for ko

🤮fumbles and fumbles and fumbles

🤮. Inside50s 27. Goals 2. 7%

🤮Spargo metres gained 50

️Langdon 17 disposals 6 contested possessions 1 goal 8 marks


Total lack of basic skills with the exception of 2 or 3 players.

The forwards lack any structures to play too and the coaches look to have no idea of what to do.

I just witnessed the most uninspiring quarter of footy I've seen in my life.

No spirit, no drive of the half back line, no marking ability.

This is unbelievable.

There is no passion, no fire, no confidence, no fire in the belly. And I can't see who in our team can spark it. Max is toiling hard, but where do we lift from? Can we?

This is horrible, so sad how low we have fallen in a relatively short space of time.

They have somehow completely lost confidence or something is terribly wrong behind the scenes .

Our forwards refuse to lead and prefer to wrestle.

West coast and Richmond would beat us at this stage. WTF ??

I want answers not small talk from the coach and club.

Just went out the shed and blew a dart.
Looked up at my '21 GF poster.
15 Premiership players we've got out here tonight.

That is very depressing isn't it? Goodwin has wasted these talented players. No game plan whatsoever! Seeing them play this way reminds me of going to watch all those Neeld games. Breaks my heart.

not many positives

langdon playing well.

and we're only down by 5 goals

We played Roo, Jeffo and AJ in week 1. Kicked our highest score for the year and only got rolled by 3 points and unlucky to lose that. Imahine if we had of had Kozzie in we would have won easily. Since then we've continually dropped a tall each week until now we are down to 1 (Jeffo is still injured in believe?), Melksham still getting a game for some unknown reason and the other two talls in Fullarton and AJ can't get a game because.... Goody?

I can see the changes for next week

IN: Jeffo, Fullerton, Disco

JvR being set up for failure.

Langdon can hold his head up high.

This season has quickly devolved from me being hopefully of a win in most games we play to just being interested in the young players development. Sad.

 

I’d sub Conca and Chaplin in. Can’t be any worse off

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
