Another goal less quarter. How many times !!

Q.D. thanks for this I do find it interesting what the other clubs supporters are saying about us. But I never know the names of the other clubs websites, So Thank you Go Dees got everything crossed,,

Watching the game tonight. Ratten at least looks like he is a coach and gets involved emotionally teauge on the other hand just sits there like goody, I prefer someone who is engaged emotionally with the game and the supporters, both when we do something great and something stupid!!

Well I don't think I can argue against these points, but "work for better levels and expectations," needs to be applied across the whole club. Not just the players but admin, the management side, supporters, Selectors and Coaching. I actually think Goodwin needs help, perhaps he should be overall Director of coaching but have someone help him on the Game Day. Hells Bells, if I can see a problem with the way we play on any particular day. Then Goodwin should have been able to see it coming days before and made plans to mitigate the problem, then something else to turn to. Not just rely on game plan A. "while also talking seriously." not sure this is a site where one can talk too seriously , mostly one eyed rot, but some supporters are much more attuned to footy than i am or was. All I could do on the footy field was run, all day though. Not sure I thought much about why I was running to any spot, at the time. Not much has changed now I watch from the stands or TV for the last 30 years. Good Luck to us on the Weekend, 14 against us in the Age and only one for us. We are a chance on those odds. And I hope Harley plays and kicks 5 goals

just a question Are you taking the pee out of this thread ?

At the moment we are not playing well, that's clear , The first quarter against Carlton proves we can control a game and win the ball. The mindset of the players went to mush half way through the second, The job of the coaching and Football Departments is to get this bit above the shoulders as right as their fitness. The buck stops at the top, always has always will, Donald in the US believes that. and so do I. I can or will support the Dees whatever but its easier emotionally and financially, when the WIN games and not play ****ely and win by one point. Don't expect to win but looking forward anyway, I would like to see Harley running around. Thursday Selections most important again the senior coach's responsibility. Go Dees.......

Things need to get better this year. Full stop. changes maybe not this year, but if nothing gets better by then it will not be the end of next year to make changes! i think good win needs help on game day to tweak positioning and tactics. Other coaches seem to outplay him in this aspect on the day. we seem to go with what was decided on Tuesday at training or at selection And make no alterations during the game. i might be wrong but the impassive face in the coaches box does not do it for me. I would prefer some one who bangs the wall or desk every now and then, win or lose. Might make no difference apart from what I feel. but we are no better now than most of 2019. Like witches hats at training some of the time. just my opinion, will not have any impact against Richmond,

Watched the game, We lost it Geelong only had the higher score, Same as our Carlton game, we had the higher score. I do not think we have improved at all from 2019, perhaps a slower entry or more controlled entry into the F50. What a waste of an afternoon.....

Another goal less quarter coming up not good enough to win

Hell I just wish Goodwin would shoe some emotion !!

Another quarter no blimey goals , if they only kick one not much problem but that was too easy

Here we go again come on Melbourne. !!

Looking at some results this week and last, by less than a goal either way and probably a draw Go Dees

I am positive he did not get a kick or a serious touch.....

If there is a problem, look to fix the error, then there is no error or at east a lesser one. to look to place blame is not good for anyone sport or work or life fix whats wrong no problem then

I remember a sign in Hawthorn years ago something like play him at FF and move PHudson to CHF others can quote it I am sure

Your right, keyboard warriors in this league at least. Tried hard in mine but never great. still I was disappointed in round one against the eagles, just expected more and ditto yesterday just expected more from players and coaches. Without being particular. Hope it all improves!!

Think we need to play all these guys jackson for his future, rivers for ability and his future ANB and Hunt to prove if you persist and put in you get rewarded and I think all of the above for Bennell, he will only get better Ins. No idea perhaps OMac Outs. No idea glad no one takes my opinions as gospel!! we do need to play for 4 quarters though

I feel the same way sometimes l don’t usually give political views on this website but sometimes I cannot help myself. go Dees. Even a one point win in the GF this year would do. Doesn’t need to be 10 goals.

Some should watch the match now. both sides poor! but both coaches showing emotion frustration and interest I doubt we will get any cliches from either Ratten or Beveridge

I think I would perhaps look at swapping Tmac and Smith rather than May. I am Not a coach though

My take is he never seems to respond, with moves on the field, instructions or looking at him in the coaches box, and then there are cliches after every game...... but a win is a win is a win, better than losing enjoy a beer!

Fair enough point i was after 4 goals a quarter wins most matches in any competition consistent effort The thing. But I do take your point. It’s a different year and we are not Man Friday !!

Yes I will vote the same

Just a question. How many times, while Goodwin has coached us, have we kicked one goal or less in a half of football. Don't win many games with these statistics. He seems to sit there blind to the obvious, that something needs to change. Motivation, fitness, ability. Still a win by a point is better than a loss by a point, but I still feel let down. After that start we should have won by 5 goals. On field leadership appears missing, we have no player to grab the game by the throat, or kick a team mate up the behind as motivation or congratulation. From 5 minutes to go in the second to the last couple of minutes in the last we were watching the blues play footy. Then they woke up again. Not looking really positive for next week need a 4 quarter effort......
