CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Only knock on Kynan is his disposal. Some of his kicks were woeful today - he turns it over a lot, but he wasn't alone.

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Casey has very similar structural problems to the firsts side. Despite having 15 listed AFL players they have been humbled at home by a stand alone side. If you don't see the systemic coaching & structural problems I can't help you.

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Agree - Max has said that Choco is coaching him on goal kicking yet Max is worse now than he was 5-7 years ago. 25m out directly in front & cannot be relied on - its truly embarrassing.

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
15 AFL listed players & we dish that up !!! The coaching panel & the Football Dpt need a total overhaul.

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Sorry but past performance suggests McAdam will offer very little if & when he returns.

PREGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Your comments are totally fanciful. Turner has played about 3 games in defence & at best is competent. Up forward he has sometimes been good & sometimes poor to average. You need to be realistic not in la la land.

Time to go Goody?
Works both ways. When the fans suspect that the Board & Footy Dpt are treating them like mushrooms & things are clearly going south they vote with their feet (and wallets). And I don't blame them.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Yep this is a Goodwin trademark - rush back players who either have no form or are not fully fit. Well done Goodie.

Toxic ??? All I see are thoughtful, considered opinions expressed in a logical manner.

MEMBERSHIP TALLY 2025
Similar to what happened in the Neeld era. My take is that supporters have lost faith with the coach(as I have), particularly his rehashing of the same old spin after every game.

Time to go Goody?
Collingwood supporters hold the coaches & Board accountable otherwise they torch the place while Melbourne supporters tend to kneel down & tug their forelocks & cop the spin from the Club.

Time to go Goody?
DIT - Mate I speak as a loyal 50 year supporter. Our Supporters are angry because we have wasted a golden opportunity to grab 2 or 3 flags. Our weakness is that we have too many supporters who are enablers & make excuses (God bless you Ghosty) & blindly support the coaches & administrators regardless of their performance & results. I hate Collingwood with a passion but their supporters don't put up with poor results - they demand success otherwise they riot - and good on them. They demand success or else whereas our supporters just make excuses.

Time to go Goody?
That's been a Goodwin's trademark for several years. Rush back players into the firsts who are either unfit or out of form or both.

CASEY: Rd 07 vs Footscray
These comments are odd. Adams is quick & he had more disposals & marks than Kentfield. And Sestan is in a good patch of form & hasn't looked slow to me.

Sadly sometimes this is the case.

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Very surprised by the Jeffo selection

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
There is also the possibility that he is unhappy with the game time he is getting & this is his reaction to less time on the field.
-
Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
At least I support the Club instead of fawning to individual players. At least I put the Club's interests first instead of fawning adulation to individual players. Clarry got around $70,000 for last week's effort even though he didn't turn up.
-
Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
The only lack of respect I see is by the player towards the Club & the supporters who provide his pay. Pocketing $1million a year & delivering a $400,000 performance.
-
Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I'm quickly losing faith. After last year's disaster I was happy to forgive & forget but it seems to be happening again. He is a $1million a year player & needs to start delivering or find another club.

Tom McDonald re-signs for 2025
Where do you dream this stuff up ??? This is completely untrue. TMac has generally been well liked by Demonlanders & one of the most popular players.
-
Tom Fullarton
Fullarton fully deserved his opportunity & may do so again if he keeps putting his hand up. Actually good form at VFL level is still pretty relevant & Goodwin has a history of ignoring good VFL form & rushing back players who are either not fit or not in any form. It was definitely part of the reason he wrecked our chances in 2022.
-
Tom Fullarton
Agree that Fullo deserved a chance but hasn't shown anything so back to Casey. You have got to be kidding to suggest we ruined Weid's career by rucking him. Weid just couldn't cut it as a key forward at 2 different clubs. Lacked desperation & couldn't hold his marks. Ironically some of his best footy was at Casey as an undersized ruckman in their flag year.

Xavier Lindsay- Round 7 Rising Star
Lindsay is a quality player but I didn't think he's done enough to get a nomination. Still it's all a bit subjective so good luck to him.
