Sack Goodwin.

Hannan just looks natural.

God damn it, Vince.

So we're in the same situation we've been in against Freo, Hawthorn, and North. One amazing quarter where we close down a big lead. Another winnable position. Once again put to the test.

Why?

This is the fourth game now where Goodwin's coaching and our leadership is on display. Big test.

Can already call it. Suns to have a 4-5 goal lead at the last break, we fight back and lose by a goal. Bookmark that [censored].

Fancy celebrating like that when you're down by 4 goals. Drinking our own bath water. Bunch of spuds.

They are two players down in the backline...and we still turn it over. They have underrated GC.

This is insipid. Time to start questioning Goodwin's coaching credentials. Leaders have been pitiful. Gold Coast's transition out of defense has been disgusting. [censored] filthy right now.

Very disappointing. We are playing lazy football in second gear.

LOL

Pitiful tackling urgency.

OMG!

Lewis in second gear. He's had a very average last few weeks.

3 inside 50s, 2 goals. Melbourne? Long, high balls to a congested forward line against the wind.

There's your quintessential dumb football goal.

Actually it is. The players being dropped generally fall into the Kent-ANN-Bugg-Harmes-Stretch group. Our midfield is settled. We have 5-6 guys fighting for those 2 additional flank/wing positions. It seems like we're "shuffling deck chairs" as they say but it's clear that Goodwin is trying to get consistentcy with this group. Kent needs a solid 10 weeks at Casey. Not as punishment. He needs to work his way in now. I assume the reason Stretch is having a, ahem, Stretched out time in the VFL is for this reason. We won't see Kent for a while. Whoever is in the side when Gawn and Hogan come back I assume will be there for a while.

Don't do it, Rod. Can't trust a man dressed like that!

Bruce needs to stfu and calm down. Every shot at goal!

I thought Adelaide was our statement win?

IMO I think this will be our first "big" loss of the year. GC can be quite good as we've seen this year and they'll have had a nice break. I predict 3-4 changes on our end. Not just saying this because "it's Melbourne", rather just because I think GC will be due for a big win. I've actually tipped them by 43 points.

So when he went down it was an 8-12 week injury. He said he could be back by the QB match (round 12), which would actually be a 9-week layover. On the website, however, it has him at 4-6 weeks, which has him returning by round 14-16.

We're a better team than most here dare admit.
