The first 0-8 rounds of the season are such a blur.

I asked Chat GPT and it gave me the recipe for passata.

Honestly though is anyone surprised? Some here really understate the impact two straight finals exits had on the supporter base. In particular last year. Combine the media bombardment this past 12 months and honestly it's become exhausting fronting up to watch them. The style of football we play is rarely enjoyable which makes it tougher to justify the cost to go to a game when that style is combined with poor performance. I personally need a break. Afternoon games are doable but I'm not leaving my family in the dead of winter to go watch a frustrating brand of football in freezing conditions. i did it in 2022 and 2023 and had it spat back in my face 4 consecutive times in finals.

Nights game at the MCG from June until finals should be reserved for clashes between Victorian teams. Crowd numbers always dip at the MCG as we get deeper into winter. This impacts all teams. If that game was at 1pm on Saturday it would have been 25k+. We seem to be the only team drawing international teams to the MCG at night in July. GWS had like 10 supporters there.

Allowing them three centre clearances, three entrances, and three goals at the start of the last was disgraceful and cost us the game. Gawn was rucking against a guy with one arm, and our midfield was clueless. We lost the game there.

3.4 to 12.4 after quarter time. Scoreline flatters us.

Billings with the hospital handpasses that would outrank Grey's Anatomy.

Defending well this quarter so far

Death, Taxes, and Langdon kicking it out in the full.

We remind me of the Neil Balme era teams of 92 and 93. Never terrible, never great, sometimes bad in a weirdly comical way, sometimes unbelievably good. 10th-14th seems about right.

That would be awesome

You'll start to see a breakaway now. Any team with a % of <108% is imo out of the running and making up the numbers. With the exception of maybe Hawthorn's whose percentage since Round 6 is 118%.

we literally struggled with the pressure.

I think it's questionable Tassie will go hard at the draft. They will bring in experience and ready talent to compete immediately.

Hawthorn was 0-5 with a percentage of 64%. Their turnaround has been ridiculous.

Crazy that we were ever favourites in this one. We've blown out now and GWS has shortened to favourites. We will struggle with GWS the same way we do against Freo; younger and faster mids, and more agile forwards. Stinks of another belting until it's wet.

Marge: "I'll just have a K Brown." Bartender: "Billings it is." Marge: "I said Brown." Bartender: "Billings" Marge: "B-ROWN" Bartender: "BILL-INGS" Marge: "B. R." Bartender: "B. I."

Now I'm depressed because I'm talking with Melbourne supporters actually entertaining trading Oliver. What have we become? It's like 2003 all over again.

100%. But saying this is a problem of on field leaders is only more of an indictment. Official team leaders are the only players with direct and impactful influence on a coach. They are like senior leaders in any business, and their relationship with the unit's Head Of or GM. It doesn't bode well for a head coach when literally every leader of the team puts in a shocker.

I couldn't be bothered. I am not normally one to personally go on a rant against people for disagreeing with me. And frequently wear it when I'm wrong. My point is that going on the rant he did after beating Essendon was going way too early. Today is proof. For the record I'm not calling for Goodwin to go but people pretending like he hasn't already spent some of the credits he got after 2021. Some don't realise how many credits he burnt on September 15 2023.

They have 12% of us alone.

Imagine going on a rant and trying to make a point against people that have a different opinion to you... after beating Essendon lol

Another Goodwin speciality.
