No change

Probably the fairest umpiring I've seen in ages

Tears. I had mum (Tigers) and her partner (Port) visiting with wife (Pies) watching with me. I had to leave the room after that goal.

This of course assumes we win 1 and lose 1. High confidence level we lose both.

And humid! Pearly clutching humidity!

Can we please study the Bombers' game vs the Eagles (what was it, 50-1 at one point?) and just copy them kthxbye

I have a very very bad feeling about this #MFCSS

+1 h8erz gonna h8, yo

I can see all 4 of those falling out way. First 3 pretty likely, last one iffy. Then again, in typical Melbourne style, the Bombers will beat the Tigers kicking off Leg 1 of the Circus Melbourne show, no doubt. Melbournepalooza

OhNoze! No longer linked to Melbourne!?

Also Inside Melbourne. Maybe they're just cool, calm, collected. It doesn't matter what I really think anyway, just a harmless opinion.

Whoah whoah, let's not get crazy, ese!

...continue to consider Melbourne guilty until (not unless, until) proven innocent (by beating GWS) I should have just said ...remain skeptical

For whatever you might think of Bob Murphy, he's great on radio (and telly, presumably). I like Gawn's communication and how he comes across (a lot) but, and pardon the skepticism, it does not feel like the playing group seem all that concerned about the challenge ahead. I suppose it turns on your view of who Max is really talking to in these things (not the fans, I presume). Sounds like Pedersen's papers are stamped and it's the Weid.

All good points and well-reasoned. To be honest, I'm ambivalent about Goodwin. I remain unconvinced, but time will tell. And really, I don't mind who is coaching as long as we are improving, learning, attaining new heights, reaching finals. My point really was about my level of confidence with Goodwin - from afar and again, with no connection to the club, my lay observation is we appear to be making the same mistakes fairly regularly. Now whether that's gameplan or player habits or composure, it's up to the coach to take control of that and change things. (I recognise that these things can take time to ingrain.) I'd also like to understand what the KPIs are for the coach. I.e. is it finals this year, 2019, what? I'd like to understand what the measures of success are. If nothing else, it might quell unnecessary blow ups about his tenure. Thumbs up for the response.

Apology accepted DD ?

Really interesting dissection, brutal at times, especially on Lewis.

Excellent, thanks for clarifying! Very helpful!

I'm thick. Now we've got pleasantries out of the way, I'm very politely inquiring why?

Why?

For some reason I am completely unperturbed by this.

Hogan out Weid in. 7 goals please.

Jake Niall: it's cultural. Caro: "I don't know how they lost it." https://www.theage.com.au/podcast/the-age-real-footy-podcast/could-bringing-in-tom-lynch-backfire-on-richmond-20180813-p4zx93.html

Sure, not disagreeing with any of that, and time etc etc etc. I guess my broader point, poorly made, obviously, was what is the level of confidence in Goodwin. I guess your response is give it time. Which is cool, I get that. As others have put, though, he's been in the system for a while and had a big head start. I just have a really low level of confidence, but I can't quite put my finger on why. It's not anything to do with vibe and Mabo, though. And I might be way wrong, because I have no link to the club beyond 32 years as a supporter.
