We are the worst coached team in the league over the past 18 months. This is [censored] awful.

I know Goodwin is only the second coach we've had since Neeld, but relative to the talent available, we are witnessing the worst coaching performance since 2012-2013. Everything from player development to selection to game day structure and plan. Coming back from this is going to involve a Mark Thompson circa-2006 type turnaround. I just don't see it.

Two free kicks leading to a shot on goal. Is this real life?

watch geelong get a goal here.

Much better last 5 minutes.

those things were barely talked about. Geelong had almost 3 goals from their first 3 entries. the performance was holistically symbolic of our issues.

lol May spoiling Lever.

Even if we turn it around and win this, the performance thus far is symbolic of just a poor team. It's the same issues that haunt us at different times in games.

They kick it to the exact same spot in the pocket every single time. This is structureless garbage. We're luck yGeelong is old and slow. If they go up a gear, we're smoke.

Geelong looks like a vintage Ferrari in 2nd gear. We're a Daewoo Hatchback with a busted transition, in full gear, skidding into the gutter.

Lever smoked twice for 2 entries.

Cats implementing a transition and MCG masterclass just then. We couldn't get near it

Chris Scott looks like a James Bond villain.

[censored] I miss the 'G.

Interesting that some anonymous person on social media attacks a player and it's media coverage for days on end. But the coverage of cultural issues embedded at the biggest club in the land is barely touched upon, relative. Anyone that has sat in corporate boxes during a Pies or Richmond home game with club heavyweights will know just how engrained racism, sexism and homophobia is in their cultures. And board members inn an earshot just letting it slide.

You could say the same of Melksham, Hibberd, ANB, and a few others, E. Spargo was an important role player towards the end of 2018.

Sean Charles?

imo the club should sign magic and fairy dust as sponsors. that way everyone is happy and no one is offended. except for those that practice the dark arts and/or have diabetes.

I remember when the Spurs won the 99 NBA Championship, a season cut short by player lockout. Only a 60 game season I think. There was an asterix next to it for a long while until the Spurs won again I think 6 years later. Ultimately became one of the best teams of this century so far. I'd go all out for this year's flag, and use it as a launching pad to a strong decade. I mentioned in another thread that I can see one of Richmond Collingwood West Coat and GWS falling down and missing finals this year, may well end up being 2-3 of them. This year's flag is up for the taking. It may well be the easiest AND hardest flag you could win.

The fact our match was a full 21 minutes shorter than last year's average is all the more concerning. By last year's timing, we built up a 42 point lead by the end of the 1st, and lost it by the start of the 4th. Carlton may well have won by 5-6 goals on Sunday if we were playing full quarters. A 70 point turnaround.

I wonder how many Melbourne will allocate to AFL members given we have the smallest number of AFL members in the league and most are club or MCC members. As a Gold AFL Member you'd think there would be some priority there in line with those club members that have a guaranteed GF ticket.

The game was worse.

Depends. How good was the funeral?

Goodwin looks [censored].

they are a player down.
