KLV

McClure and Matt Clinch we’re talking about this on the abc sat afternoon? How the tap out by ruckmen is ineffective and does not result in a clearance. Why don’t they occasionally just bash the ball towards F50?

Loved how Oskar Baker took control of his destiny. Hard to delist after that performance

Sounds like a good find CHF, lovely Syrah in that part of the world too.

Exactly. She’s stirring trouble. Past players; influential, big donor supporters; MFC supporting MCC board members past and present; all unhappy with the current performance of the Demons? Really? What a surprise? Hey Steve Smith, mfc past player and recent past president of the MCC, successful lawyer; how about you run for president? Yeah but no, I’m too busy with my law practice. Let that loser Bartlett work through this bad patch. This is sh*t stirring with a capital S!

When I first saw the topic, I thought - here we go- and pretty much that sums it up. Can you imagine if we had culturally stuffed up like richmond has, Caro would be front page everyday. We are a soft target; underperforming and unsurprisingly subject to coach, football dept and board murmurings

I have no doubt that Pert has a crystal clear view on the risk of retaining Goodwin and he was never going to share that view with the Deebrief or any any media for that matter. He and the board are in regular contact, the increasing damage being done to membership and sponsorship are being weighed up against stability and keeping faith with the plan. In my opinion, Goodwin will stay but assistants will be shuffled in and out. 2021 will be the test. good interview and well done to the deebrief boys.

Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC

Its easy to make a difference bringing a club from the bottom to being mediocre, but a lot more difficult to progress to being a consistent, good team. Ask Carlton, Essendon, freo, St Kilda fans. Throwing out the coach without a plan of correcting what’s wrong is a waste of time, the problem isn’t just Goodwin. Even though he is part of it.

Before anyone is sacked, a thorough independent review of football department is needed. Otherwise we’ll be here watching the whole thing on repeat in 3 years. Im confident Bartlett and Pert won’t be sitting back.

Why does, whoever the opposing team is, clear the ball from our F50 so easily, then spread to our unmanned wing delivering it into their f50 with a series of uncontested marks. The Dees conversely struggle to clear if from our d50, kicking it to a contest on the congested wing usually losing possession. If we win the ball, we expend maximum energy doing so. Just seems an obvious flawed strategy. Can someone explain please?

Yeah, not all of them though. Trac, Viney, Oliver were fantastic.

What did he say?

Good win doggies, if the Dees are good enough, we’ll make it to the 8, but as we all know, we are not.

No, but I think that Rhys Shaw looks like an alien.

Just watched the interview. Max said he doesn’t really watch the ladder- really? Why not? Are you just looking at yourselves in your little MFC bubble? pretty disappointing

Just watched Goodwin’s presser, every week, he relates what happened (we know, we were watching) but gives no explanation about why and either what could have been done to prevent the devastating loss or what was the difference in the win. It tells us nothing. and I’m fixated on the left leg scratch, tonight he tried very hard to try alternatives, like scratching his head. really, who would be a senior coach?

Hey me too Billy!

Yep that’s fair

Petracca - no, not this week 0 votes

Really? Is that all he came up with? Were any hard questions asked? Like, why does Melbourne fail continually to play consistently from week to week? How come the players put in extra effort for 10 minutes but not for the rest?

GWS are giving their mums and dads (no fans) are difficult night too. You would have to question Leon Cameron, and whoever their goal kicking coach is. How many points have been kicked???

I said this in the game day thread as well. When Buckley was struggling, Pert brought him an elite support group. He needs to do that now for Goodwin

First of all wise, e hug straight back to you, we are all needing a bit of comforting atm. second, Wise you maybe missed the final brain fade of Langdon, resulting in a final swans goal, and his missed set shot from not much out, I think he undid a lot of his good by those mistakes. Meanwhile, I don’t think a few ins and out here and there for us, would have made any difference at all. The problem is coaching. Longmuir came in with a premeditated plan to negate our strengths and expose our weaknesses, while clearly selling the plan to his players, who again clearly trust and work hard for him. Goodwin, on the other hand, relied on his existing game plan, without considering, that maybe, this tired playing group would be down on energy. He was unable to come up with a suitable alternative. it’s just so frustrating and predictable, Sydney had nothing to lose, so play out of their skins, but good coaching have plans for this. Goodwin is learning on the job as are many of his players. But they, the players, deserve someone who already has their license. look at Chris Scott, I loathe that swarmy piece of poo, but he is a bloody good coach. I assume pert and Bartlett are losing patience, if not, they need to know that we are. (Politely) GET Clarkson

This is exactly what will happen

Apart from the Covid numbers not going down fast enough (really, who the hell is getting this thing now? I can’t see how you can possibly contract anything under stage 4, and haven’t the health settings got their sh*t together yet to protect their workers?) and my Dees confirming their position as the AFL’s laughing stock, it’s been a great day.
