If I see one more Melbourne supporter crying a river for West Coast I'm going to puke. It's really no wonder we're perceived as such a weak club when a team whose supporters have ripped on us for decades is suddenly being cuddled and nurtured by our own supporters. It's their once-in-every-three-decades slump at the bottom. They'll survive. [censored] West Coast.

Goodwin is turning into Daniher 2.0 the way he plays favourites. We're 15-13 since round 10 last season, which is equivalent to a 12-10 season. We're quite literally an 8th-12th placed team over the past 12 months. That is a large enough data set to try something new. He is playing favourites with players who are consistent liabilities. Langdon, Spargo, Pickett, ANB are turning into the Yze, Bruce and Davey of the current squad, legacy players from a good era that are just not that good anymore. We are hanging onto the 2021 flag run for dear life. It's not happening again with this squad.

bbb is done. people need to move on.

Melbourne has finished 1st, 2nd, and is 3rd 14 rounds into another year. And yet Goodwin is never recognised for his coaching or as being one of the best coaches in the league. Tonight is a prime example of why.

Goodwin using the 2018 coaching handbook in 2022. We can't put good teams away and haven't since the 2021 Grand Final. Huge offseason coming up. Suspect we're entering the Grundy era now. Need more pace in the middle and need way more strength and height around the ground.

are we tho

Jesus, you'd think GWS would think they're a legit chance.

Congratulations Gary Rohan, tonight's recipient of the Kent Kingsley Award For Spuds Who Play Well Against Melbourne award.

Melbourne 2021 Geelong 2022 Potentially Port 2023 All quick burst scoring with just sheer brute speed and perfection in the middle. Teams get spooked and you're behind before you even realise it's 10 goals difference. We had our moment in 2021. The days of Richmond, Hawthorn, Brisbane type flags are over (for now).

The commentators are desperate for us to come back. We're just not that good to bring this back. We'd need to magicslly not be playing [censored].

Goodwin is the equivalent of a downhill skiing coach. He needs all cylinders firing and the opposition to be spooked. We lose games the same way every bloody time and we play at this [censored] every [censored] year. We don't play to respect the opposition, we are so obsessed with *our* way and we just hope we'll find a breakthrough. Good coaches consistently know how to defend against it. The losses look the same every damn time.

How embarrassing. I'm done with this average coaching and no plan B. What a surprise we go to water as soon as a decent team plays high pressure.

Pathetic. Absolutely [censored] pathetic. Undoubtedly the worst [censored] game we have played in years.

I cannot believe that [censored] passage. I cannot believe it. How utterly pathetic. The pressure barely even exists. Our fumbling is horrid.

[censored] off, Melbourne. That passage was nothing short of [censored] horrid. Not even finals calibre.

Sorry but we're being smoked by an average but very well coached team.

Will take something very special to win this now. Can't see it.

It's 70 to 51 Melbourne's way

lol I was just saying....

Reckon Pickett got a rocket after his goal and at half time. Definitely lifted this quarter.

You just knew umps would turn.

This is game. Geelong all over it.

Dunstall just said: Melbourne makes it easy for them. Every game we lose we play so easily into the opposition's hands. It's infuriating. Cats of 10 intercept marks...AT HALF TIME. And 67% F50 efficiency.

Interestingly a Geelong supporting colleague says the team kicking it out on the full tends to lose at GMHBA. Geelong has gone out on the full 5 times tonight.

Geelong can barely run lol This is structural and skill based atm.
