Top 5 home and away losses under Goodwin
Why stop at five? 1. Round 23, 2017 vs Collingwood for obvious reasons 2. Round 2, 2019 vs Geelong - confirmation of everything I was worried about after the pre-season 3. Round 21, 2018 vs Sydney - had finals in our grasp and botched it. Fortunately wiped out by heroics the next week 4. Round 15, 2018 vs St Kilda - caving against a lowly team when there were serious finals implications 5. Round 4, 2018 vs Hawthorn - mitigated somewhat by belting a heap of sides a few weeks later 6. Round 19, 2017 vs North when we had a roaring wind in the last quarter and couldn't overturn a six point deficit. 7. Round 9, 2020 vs Port 8. Round 15, 2020 vs Sydney 9. Round 22, 2019 vs Sydney - a stench of death classic 10. Round 4, 2017 vs Freo - the day Cam McCarthy gave us the full Kingsley

Inability to kick in the wind
Strange considering half our squad were Casey Fields specialists

Swans in Cairns for 2 days vs Demons less than 5 hours - why?
Is that why we were crap from the first bounce?

VFL to Merge with NSW & QLD State League
I don't think we'd drop Casey but if we did, any chance of Port Melbourne being the famous inner city (or as close to as we're going to get) training venue? You'd have to get rid of the cricket club, but otherwise good location, pretty much straight on the 109 tram from the MCG.

Gawn In Doubt for Crows?
Not concerned in the middle, big loss for the contested marks and around the ground rucking.

Deep Dive into Dees Issues
I've done a forensic investigation on Adelaide's team (e.g. looked up their side from last week on AFL Tables) and hereby declare RILEY KNIGHT most likely to come from the clouds and have the game of his life against us. He has kicked 2 goals in a game 12 times, this is his chance for 3+

Footy Books
If somebody on here wants it they're welcome, otherwise give it to an op-shop and confuse the locals. P.S - If anyone is interested, it's available on the cheap for Kindle. Paperback version is there but is $$$ due to rarity.

If we lose to the Suns, I will....
Unless it's a particularly violent battering I'll be upset for about four hours then get on with life. This season is an the biggest pre-season ever.

Schwarz: 'Dees are irrelevant'
He makes some reasonable points but board challenges are the biggest empty threat in footy.

Dee-sappointment Article Nails It
No interest in what other clubs do, the way we play it's stupid. Alternatively they could change the way we play but I bet that doesn't happen.

Dee-sappointment Article Nails It
The lack of a second tall target is suicidal. Weideman, Brown, Jackson, Tomlinson (?) might not be the answer but you've got to give somebody a go, the idea that you're going to kick long onto the head of Fritsch and Hunt is insanity.

Dees on Brink of Another Trade Disaster
Get back to me when we're a few years down the track from North's pick. More than anyone we should know that a pick means nothing unless you get the right player.

Poor State of the Game
I would not afford them the courtesy of a bag

Poor State of the Game
Throw the Channel 7 commentary team into the sea. Won't do anything for the quality of the game but it will help my ears.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Not enough storming towards the 50 and kicking it like he's got a wooden leg.

Memorabilia Help
I spoke to an ex-player who lent his scrapbook from 1964 to the club and they lost it ?
-
TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
Are we still giving our first pick to North? No doubt they'll find somebody fantastic with it even if there's not one Under 18 game played.

Didn't say anything bad about us so a good bloke in my book ?

No Premiership in 2020
There will be a flag, and because we won't win it we can hang [censored] on whoever does.

Ricciuto on Lever
We paid over the top for him but it was a worthwhile gamble. Hopefully contract money front-ended so it's less of an issue when we're paying megabucks for Oliver, Petracca etc... later. Rotten timing for him to do his knee when he'd just played his first A-grade game for us... against the Crows.

Eddie’s jumper feud with Kochie just escalated
Don't care what Port do generally, but if it annoys Eddie I'm in. They should also bring in their real theme song (same tune as Sydney) instead of the rubbish modern tune.

Great coaching from Goody
It was all good when we didn't let Carlton get their hands on the ball. Once they did it was hot knife through butter stuff. Good teams will wallop us if we play like that.

MATCH SIM: Saturday 6th June 2020
Obviously Joel Smith is a defender again but I thought he looked good as a forward. No doubt will be thrown there ASAP if we're kicking 6.12.48 every week.
