Goodwin gameplan is Chinese water torture. Our players are mentally and physically dead.

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

I wish the club would [censored] him off now but they won't. Maybe mid year. We'll be batting to win a game.

Can't wait for the post match presser. Learnings, territory, game on our terms with a little bit of love and healing.

If it is experience that we want then Longmire is the only option. No to Simpson, no to Hinkley.

Goody loves territory. Scoreboard not so much.

We have 6 months to find a coach, it starts now

Fitness is atrocious, skills poor, transition between the arcs non existent. No football nouse. We'll be lucky to win 5 games this year. The Goodwin gameplan is rubbish. It's a slow death with ageing players. New coach and fresh start needed for 2026.

I think they got tunnel vision on that pick 9 trade. Gave Bombers way too many picks. Will probably come back to haunt us when/if trying to split pick 9. Pick 9 is great but shocking negotiating on our end.

Despite my rant with a few aspects there were genuinely some good things to take out of the game.

That may have been the intimation from Goodwin but surely he should have anticipated that and encouraged the group to keep going. Positive mistakes are better than defensive/negative mistakes as long as you continue to pressure the opposition. Given our defensive game style in general it's hard not to be sceptical.

Flicking the switch from attacking to safe mode plays with players' heada at tines. I'm not surprised we saw some dumb mistakes in the final quarter. Instinct becomes at odds with instruction and you end up defaulting to dumb [censored]. Listening to Goodwin in the after game pressers over the years. Dour, uninspiring summations and never takes ownership. I reckon he has mastered the art of sublinally blaming the players without actually coming out and blaming them. We always need to "work harder". Tonight he said we played too safe in the final quarter. Doesn't elaborate on why though. Leaves us to assume it was player error even though he likely directed that [censored]. Bit of a sly communicator at tines.

Petty 4.13 for the year now. After kicking 12.1 last year, wtf has happened? Technique gone? Mental? Both? Killed us tonight. As a team, 4 behinds in last two final quarters. What message are they getting at 3/4 time?

The AFL is a [censored] weak organisation.

Garbage final quarter. Potentially our last win for the year. Slow, unfit, average skills, no discernable method or team rules, no midfield depth. What a shambles. Goodwin probably happy with himself after that win. Sure, umps had a few howlers but not scoring at all in a final quarter is pathetic.
