Previously known as LITD.

, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments. I was trying to forget all this.

If Oliver and Tracc want to leave I would let them. But we play hard ball. As for Goody and the payout, given the prediction of support dropping off and games won, it will be worth paying it. Anyone who leaves Petty in the same position for two years needs to go a year ago. Just saying.

It would be a nice gesture.

Oh come on Next youl be stating Maynards dirty ko on poor Gus was a footy act.

Can't say I really learnt anything. Threats are clearly wrong. But some real ownership would be good.

Some mumbling and murmers in the media already about Goody going. It's starting.

Yep And bonus points Bb for sneaking in the words miscreants. Or in this case Miscresaints. Well done.

I'm really curious why you are saying it's dribble? There are some fairly accurate descriptions in there. Id say the majority of them are. Yes it was a totally abysmal last quarter but so was the saints first. I am assuming with your three quarter reference that it was accurate up until then. And for the most part it was. So you either think it's all wrong or just from the perspective of the last fraction. Can you at least be a little bit more constructive and explain which parts are wrong. Yes it was a shocking finish. An albatross of a record hanging around our necks. Bl##dy hell. We've gone from when will we break these embarrassing records to adding new ones so I clearly get your anger and frustration. I know I'm angry. But this post wasn't dribble. Yes up until the three quarter mark it was very accurate. So where does it need to change? My two cents is Goody. He completely froze. Saints starting with a bang bang bang including a 2021 gf Tracca dribble goal identical replica along the ground. Bang bang bang in under 3 mins is 8 goal margin to under five. Ok still fairly winnable for us.. A couple more in around five mins and it a three goal game. Holy cow. Goody still asleep. Not a single change bar Spargo as sub but that was made before three quarter time. So a mute point. No the reality of this fiasco was a few things. Fritta went totally missing at half time after setting up a decent lead. Back to Fritta of old in the second but still a very decent game. Tracca and Oliver were good. In particular Tracca who had a great first half but like Oliver missed an absolute sitter at goal. And then like a magic trick vanished at three quarter time. Those two misses there are the game gone. They are pathetic goal kickers. It has to be said . As I mentioned prior Oliver kicks ONE GOAL Every FIVE GAMES. Four a year. Good Lord And Tracca like Max isn't a great deal better. So after kicking straight still performed much worse than the saints in this department. McVee did nothing...just a game. Sopt on. Was him with his brain fade with the 50 mp. Also the umpirimg was again average. The amount of times we were called out for not fifty play on to the saints was four times to zip. Disgraceful. Petty worse. Not on field....truly apt description. But always the case.Not sure if he had one touch in the last. One. Our leading tall. Four for the game. Our leading tall. Good God. Get him off. Or back down back. If he hasn't been totally destroyed in confidence yet. Well done Simon. Way to destroy a blokes promising career. No your comment here was harsh. What happened? Our midfield got absolutely smashed in the last and on the few occasions when it when the pill got fwd, the fwd line was all at sea as mentioned. But then our backline couldn't handle the speed and transition and accuracy the way the ball came in. We looked cooked. But Goody could have made some changes. He could have moved Kp fwd to ff. And Jake to the middle. Or Disco fwd. Anyway we were more than completive for three quarters and just completely imploded in the last amplified by a totally dosey coach. We did exceptionally well for 75% of the game when the saints did even better in the last 25. So yea we did some things right so a lot of the positives in Joeboys summation hold up. It's not dribble. I suggest you take your justified anger out at the club and the coach and some of the players that lost this game rather than a committed supporter like JB that adds a lot to this site. Please don't be so arrogant and diss his comments off as dribble. I would not do that to your opinions. Most wouldn't. And I'm sure you rightly wouldn't appreciate it. It's not just rude. It's lazy and somewhat lacking in decent assessment to say the least. I'm trying to say this politely as I can but your way out of line and temperament. I may not agree with people but calling their opinions dribble or rubbish is tantamount to having a go at the poster. As all MFC supporters we are better than this. Attacks like yours are pretty close to port supporters territory. Not you yourself but the word is something they would say. And not because they don't have any teeth and dribble all there food. You know what I mean Thanks Billy. Hang in there mate...this may mean the end of SG and a new start next year. It may be the end of the Petty experiment. But I reckon that will.only go when Goody finally does. It may mean Sparrow is dropped. It could be the start of some decent rumblings from lots of members and less renewals and numbers at games. At lot of times particularly in AFL things need to get worse before they get better. Well yesterday was hopefully a start. It's certainly gotten a lot worse. Good luck talking your way out of this one. If it's anything to do with more learnings, changes and game plan than please by all means go ahead and do us all a favor and call it DTIBBLE Cheers.

I still fondly recall the Jvr incident and all the support here that night. I think there were seriously over two hundred Demonlanders lurking here. I sat down listening to some posts from the expert witnesses and their outrageous qualifications and computer modeling. It was one for the ages and my selection of cheeses and fine wines made it for a most memorable moment. The deliberations took hours and hours. I swear those at the tribunal were going through the all you could eat buffet. But it was great to see so many Demonlanders with a cornucopia of funny names Id never heard of. Alas after quaffing so much Penfolds I can't even recall if he was acquitted but it was the camaraderie that made it all so special. And of course the vino. Give em hell Maysie. Perhaps one last hurrah by running through the tribunal judges with an elbow tucked in just right so that it is the perfect footy act. And see how well they can then hold down there roast beef and prawn salads. And if the worst should transpire and the three weeks stands you can always just tell them you've retired effective immediately just to take the glee out of their sales. And then sign up next year. Never forget that they work for the AFL and are all as crooked as hell. More so than those me maggots masquerading as umpires these days. Lower than cockroaches and probably just as dirty. There i actually feel a little better. Hang on. Did I memtion that umpires are only put there because society understands they are not fit for any other role. And that they make up the rules as they go along. Yep now I feel better. Maybe some more Penfolds. This is what they do to me. Thank you. Go Maysie.

Yes you can probably tell I'm angry Tracca and Oliver were pretty good yesterday. Well Tracca was. Except CP showed his significant problems with kicking goals. Again. They both did and they cost us the game with their inaccuracy once again. Tracc is probably one of the worst in the comp. Certainly at the MFC. It's is a shocking part of his game and ai feel because of this he is overated. Imagine if he could finish all his good work off and score more frequently. Oliver isn't great either. This led me to looking at most of our players in this area. I was shocked to discover that Oliver only manages an average of only one goal every five games he plays. That's pretty damning. Yes despite both dropping in form the last couple of years .....these two have been prolific ball winners. But kicking goals is important for midfielders and these two have struggled big time. Max struggles too. As do quite a few other non fwds. This all means extra pressure for our fwds to kick more goals. And they have been struggling for a long time doing this. In 2021 we had a plethora of players kicking over 20 goals for the season. Including smalls like Spargo and Anb. Now our leading forwards are struggling to manage over 20 for the year. Doesn't matter how good our backline is, if we don't kick goals we don't win. So as bad as it is with our failing fwd line in the last few years it's been made worse by all our other non fwds not contributing. And when they do...they usually miss. Then we have the issue of Petty. He's our tallest forward and has had the job for a full two years. He averages under a goal a game or under 20 a year. He's our best tall forward. That alone reveals a lot. How are you going to win games when your best tall fwd can hardly manage to get on the Coleman board. And that position call has been well and truly driven by Goody I have no idea why he's been hell bent on playing him there but it's now almost comical except we now hold yesterdays embarrassing record. Something I hope brings about Goody s exit from the club But that would involve someone having to make a decision so it probably won't happen. He'll probably be there next year when we hobble together another six or seven wins and then the club decides to do something about the membership drop off and complaining from supporters. But that will be three years too many. With too much damage and exodus of good players. Well for me if Goody is there next year the club won't get a cent from me and not will I go to any games. I know that doesn't help but I can't support the club in any fashion with SG at the helm. I can be as stubborn as him. It's a shame he won't resign and will eventually be sacked. I would like to hear about his learnings in his sacking press conference. Anyway, we lost to St kilda in Nt not long ago due to laziness and terrible kicking. Yesterday while our kicking was better we still missed too many easy shots. As mentioned by Oliver and Tracc missing two absolute sodas that would have sealed it. And Petty kicked zero goals once again. And laid two whole tackles. Compare that to Viney who kicked a goal and managed to lay 17 tackles. Petty garnished his usual tally of five disposals but I guarantee you, he will line up again next week. Same with players like Sparrow. But with Petty being given chance after chance for two whole years just doesn't add up. What's going on? Why is Goody so stubborn about all this and call the experiment dead. In fact it died 18 months ago and will not be resurrected. How can I support the club when this keeps going on? I can't. And I have a feeling I'm certainly not alone in feeling this way. I just hope that we all join together and send the club a message by not going to games and not taking out new memberships. Unfortunately it's up to those who care the most. And yes it will be tough but it will definitely be for the best. SG is not the coach to lead this club anymore. Our lack of fwds, our playing blokes out of position, failure to make changes during games....like when the Saints kicked three in a row, gifting games continuously and failure to fix our goal kicking is just way too much for way too long. #Goodyneedstogo.

Oliver never scores any goals. Tracca is an atrocious set shot. They are so overated now. It was Viney who stood out today. Tracca lacks fitness and is slowing big time. Oliver just throws the ball on his boot without looking. Salem too has joined them. And our leadership down back today was totally missing. And for the 50 th time....Petty ain't a forward Simon You need to learn this. Why can't you accept it and move on. Just why?

The stubbornness of Goody playing Petty fwd for two years now is mind blowing. Week after week and month after month we've all called it out. But nup. Goody just keeps doubling down. I hope today he's doubled down on a new job at McDonald's.

You won't be alone And it probably needs to be done by us all. Then the club will have to listen. It's the one real thing that will.make them do something. I think Goody must know his time is up. He froze again today and did nothing to stop the rot. Fritta had clearly disappeared from the game at half time. He could have.moved KP up fwd rather than having him and Melksham on the bench for the last 3 minutes. Disgraceful. Vote with your money/ membership. It's the best way to.make them do something.

Tracca and Oliver were a huge reason we one a flag in 2021. They have been touted at times as being the best midfield duo about. And they have been. But lately I've been lamenting on a glaring weakness in their games. They are both terrible kicks at goal. They missed some sitters today that cost us a horrible record to hold. But it's not a new thing. They have always been terrible. Their now long career stats reveal that Tracca has averaged just under one goal a game for his entire career. And Oliver kicks an average of ONE goal for every FIVE games. Yep you read that correctly. Surely goal kicking is big test of a good mid. Perhaps they are overrated.

He could have left graciously. But he's now set himself up for a showdown where he will be sacked. It's just a question of when not if. Hopefully for the club it's now and not this time next year. But you never know with this club. Today he showed how stuck he gets. He truly does nothing and just sat on his hands watching that record get broken today. Shame on you Simon What an albatross to hang around the clubs neck. Leaving Kozzie and Melksham on the bench for the last three minutes so your love children Petty and Sparrow can do nothing says it all. You were frozen solid today. And yes our behind tally was once again so much higher than our opponents. Just leave. Do the right thing. Your the coach. It's on you mate.

Melksham.....not really involved. Fritta.... disappeared for half. Chandler......played a pearler. Tracca.....can't kick goals. Oliver....see Christian Petracca. Goody...... caught sleeping soundly. Goody...loves Harrison Petty. Petty.....worst forward ever. Goody.....deer in headlights. Petty...... can't kick goals. Goody......needs to go. Goody..... Just too stubborn. Viney......gave absolutely everything. Sparrow.....100 th gifted game. Mcvee.....lost it today. Bowser.....an absolute gun. Jvr...... struggled a lot Goody... Surely it's over

Can the club please explain why our head coach now holds the embarrassing record for being beaten in a game with the highest lead at three quarter time? Why we seem to moving so far away from 2021 to the dark ages again? Why Simon Goodwin has played Petty forward for two years when he's failed so much in that role? Why KP and Melksham were on the bench for the last three minutes? Why Goodwin made no changes after st Kilda kicked the first three in around three minutes? Why he made no changes at all? Why we had once more had so many more behinds? Why he is still our coach now? I think as members we deserve answers to these questions after such a history making loss.

The bias commentary on Fox was pox. As were we. Please retire off Goody. Saints kick the first three in a few minutes and Goody is a deer in headlights. And once again poor kicking has cost us.

Let's just hope that was the catalyst for the sacking of Goody His insistence in Playing Petty forward for two years has cost us dearly. Being caught out wot game winners Melksham and KP on the bench for the last three mins was on him as well. He needs to go pronto. Also got an apparent couple of gun.midfoeldets in Tracc and Oliver...the two of them hardly ever contribute to our goal tally. Hardly ever at all. What's all that about? Anyway see ya Simon. Tx for the memories but if you are there next I suggest we all are not. .

Ok let's just move Kozzie to ff and enjoy the show.

Let's hope scientists get their priorities correct when they can finally clone a man and make a couple of dozen Maxys.

And you don't break a JV tackle.

Jack Viney..13 tackles.
