Ironic that his Dad played for Melbourne. Best revenge would be to [censored] them on KB & beat them by a point in the finals.

Agree Sestan has been a standout with his disposal & has been good for several games. Could replace Salem in defence & move Salem to the mids.

Danger game. We have a poor record in AS. Lyon is a good tactical coach & while the Saints are ordinary they manage to pull off upset wins every year.

Be careful over there. I got mugged in Pattaya in 1986. I was drinking with locals then I woke up several hours later minus a few hundred $$.

Goodwin Specialty is a good name for it - should be trademarked. Coming back after a long injury Haven't trained for 6 months Didn't get a kick after half a game at Casey Lacking touch & match fitness Straight back into the firsts you go It's worked well this year for Spargo, Jefferson, McVee, Tholstrup & Windsor.

I thought Henderson & Brown were disappointing. Their decision making and execution by hand & foot need to be a lot better.

Actually 69 in June.

Lovely sentiments BM. I wish there were more like him in today's media. Too young ??? I reckon if you make threescore & ten you've done ok.

You can guarantee that something catastrophic will happen to Port just before we play them & they will play their best game for the year against us.

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 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.

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.

15 AFL listed players & we dish that up !!! The coaching panel & the Football Dpt need a total overhaul.

Sorry but past performance suggests McAdam will offer very little if & when he returns.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
