  1. 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......
  2. Perhaps. But I did think our last couple of minutes we pretty good. But you might be right .......
  3. If we happen to fluke a couple more wins in this manner again. Then we will think Goodwin can coach. and justify him going on in 2021. at this stage I blooody well hope not! think we need Yze ASAP
  4. Round one was too long ago !! and too disappointing to remember.
  5. Sorry but I don’t think we lost anything in Frosty going, thought he played well last night but very up and down. not the difference in us going forward. and not for the hawks either !
  6. What do you mean a chance ? dead set certainties I would have thought !
  7. I would really like Goodwin to get as upset as I was in that second half. he shows stuff all interest in a winning result, that second half was 2019 all over again bar the last minute or so. I will have no hair if this happens again
  8. agree totally, stopped thinking and concentrating.
  9. Three new players. Way to go !!!
  10. If Burgess can get HB through to the end of the year. His blood should be bottled and an apprentice made to drink it and become a clone....
  11. I have my own view of politics. And I think the "lowering of wages" has been a Political aim of both major parties since post Whitlam. Hawke's "level playing field" being little more than getting Australian wages as low as the cheapest worker in China. or at least raising their wages and lowering ours until the evened out. He might have seen the future, the rise of China, well before it happened and the futility of 12 million people arguing with whatever the population of China was at that time..... but what has this to do with football ?
  12. I have a question. Did he have an opponent, seemed to be by himself most of the time !!
  13. I do like this idea. we might lose a little bit, but the blues lose big time. Assuming Harmes wins the tagging battle ! and he is smart enough and tough enough to win as a tagget. Sacrificing his game for the club etc etc....
  14. Best couple of write ups from any Track watcher for weeks........thanks
  15. I have decided not to vote there was no box I don’t care ! I live mostly here, 3 hours west so only see a couple of live games. It’s usually on the telly or Foxtel at the pub. if I am home the sound is down anyway. i don’t need commentary and cheets I make my own. I will miss the faces of the crowd either crying foul or cheering a goal with glee. its up to the players to motivate themselves not through crowd participation! More like suburban park footy.
  16. loved watching him when he was with us, sometimes with my own despair as to his performance, but cheered him anyway. As long as he is not starring, or Freo winning against the Dees I will cheer him on still.
  17. I have also re read the first page etc. The comments in hind sight were a bit harsh perhaps. BUT. totally understandable if his earlier history at Gold Coast and that story of the culture there at that time is the only thing taken into account. And to be fair to the posters, he was not really a player that was scrutinised closely. So few games in too many years. His talent though was a given. But reading his comments from the latter part of 2019 and given that a stable relationship and parenthood have occurred. This does tend to put a persons thoughts and actions to a different level to that of a single play boy type. His training etc and dedication to getting his legs and body correct would, it seems, be a credit to him, his support base and the medical and conditioning people at MFC. Our recruiters or whoever organised this apparent coup deserve a "pat on the back". The 2019 picks may be the best ever. We may not get him into a game and so far has cost us little in financial sums. On the other hand I think we have gained so much by simply welcoming him and his family that the whole exercise has gained the MFC huge amounts of credibility with the Indigenous playing group. My head is spinning, thinking and hoping that we may see a winning game involving Harley and Kossy running around the forward line and Vanders clearing their way. the mind boggles ! Go Dees
  18. Having read that article, God life must be complicated or should that be interesting for some people. $5,000 is a large amount of money, just to get your rocks off ! Looking forward to the football, can not help it, guess I am a bit like the bloke wanting to give away $5,000, A little bit strange, the wife does not understand my obsession either. Whatever you are talking about ! Go Dees
  19. This is going to be a bit like If a goal (tree) is scored (falls in a forest) and nobody Cheers it (hears it) was it really scored (did it really fall) and in the end. Does it really matter. Definitely not as much as other years but better than losing. But I cannot see any supporters at anything until there is a viable vaccine. Go Dees Go Harley Go Kossy something good to think about !!
  20. Stupid free to give away, no brains or awareness of position or the score. Took a good competitive mark later but the negatives must have out weighed the positives. You never know this might have been the final nail. There was a new contract about now Round 16 or they were talking about one. My memory has gone where my hair has. might be totally wrong.
  21. Your right. He should have worn a hat !! and Hibberd held the ball upside down before he handballed, though photoshop could cut it out and rotate it (the ball) I suppose
  22. Yes agree they all look in good nick. no one obviously carrying any extra.
  23. So please does anyone know the status of fitness of the players? or are the all overweight and slow like me ?
  24. Its a nickname, and he is from the country, but now a ****ty slicker.
