Most of what you said isn't wrong. The problem is that we never once looked like beating Collingwood. And we consistently looked vulnerable against Adelaide. The team is being poorly managed and coached at the moment. I smell 2011 all over again (we are arguably playing worse, at least we could score in 2011), and a lot of those under 24s you mentioned may just be round 2 of Tapscott, Gysberts, Johnson, Morton and Bennell. All of those players were destined to be superstars of the game in 2011. They barely lasted into the decade. We have few assets that we can trade without accepting that we're in a rebuild. Who honestly do we trade to pull in what we need?

6.13 to 12.3 after quarter time. I'm giving Goodwin until round 8 next year. Can't see him surviving mich beyond this year after two of three years missing finals. This year was a failure after the Saint games. He appears to have lost the players. Today was a sad sight.

Rubbish. Bailey was an awful coach. 1999, 2001 and 2003 were much worse than 2019. But yes Goodwin has been found out. Most coaches don't recover from this degradation, not this early in their careers.

You absolute morons.

The lowest ranked 6 players on the field are Melbourne players. 4 of them are forwarss.

Good boy.

Watch Weiderman spray this.

Have a shot Petracca. [censored].

Would be a shame if we lose this quarter. Jones, Viney are toooooo slowww.

Hore is more like Steven Febey every week. Love him.

Hardly defenders faults. They have Cox and Grundy floating back. Our midfielders are defensively inept.

Not a single body on Stephenson. Jones avoided the space snd contest. He was free to go up for contest after contest. There is consistently space in front of him. There is fundamental coaching and structural issues here. Surely you can all see it. We are playing like we've already lost. It is heartbreaking.

Smashing them in clearances, contested and uncontested ball, and...turnovers. We are playing in second gear and shockingly down on confidence. There is a distinctive lack of confidence in the game plan. Goodwin has until maybe round 8 next year to prove his worth. Can't see him lasting beyond that if things that drastically change.

52% kicking efficiency.

Spargo is actually one of a few players that doesn't play like a loser. BT just said it. They don't believe here.

Gifted them a goal.

the first time we go long and direct we score a goal. We consistently handball 1-2 times too many.

Not really. We're winning most contests. the problem is we spud it up across half forward and gift them 2-3 easy marks and entry. Just wait until Cox turns it up.

Fire up Goodwin ffs!

Garlett, Spargo, Bradshaw, Oliver, Jones, Viney are actually liabilities. We gift teams such easy entry.

Garlett on Degoey lol.

I can't tell if Oliver appearing in so many lists says more about him as a player or about the club that it has 4 year player in its best midfield of all time.

I think he was struggling early in the season. That we've played better football with a mounting injury list has probably improved his confidence. but he was undoubtedly struggling for answers early.

I'll hold my judgment until he reaches 100 games.

We can't build a home ground advantage there with only two games a year though against the same teams. Which is the double edged sword. We go there for money but sacrifice MCG home games. In the process the teams we play in NT have the same exposure us as because it's always the same teams. We can only really afford to play the SA and WA teams there because they will bring crowds. You can bet WC support will outnumber Melbourne support 3-1 when we play them there is round 18. The club should at least ask the AFL to cycle opponents. One year we play Adelaide and WC, the next Port and Freo. Adelaide has played in Darwin 2 of the past 3 times we've played there.
