Time to go Goody?
Goodwin. This is on you. St Kilda gave Wanganeen-Milera a four-minute spell early in the last quarter (12m to 16m) before he unleashed the Marvel Stadium Miracle. Pickett was benched for nine minutes from the 20m mark. Players do get stuck on the bench but that kind of move loses you games of footy

PREGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
@poita @old dee Sparrow and Spargo have gone miles backwards since 2021, yet are picked each week on reputation alone. They are not midfielders nor do they offer anything in terms of goalkicking or pace or aerobic ability in today’s game. I’d omit them back to Casey. I’d trade both of them at year end. Sparrow to the Tigers and Spargo to anywhere who offers anything draft pick or player (Spargo to Giants for Derksen works).?

2025 MRO & Tribunal
“That's dangerous ... we've got to call out the behaviour." Garry Lyon says Brody Mihocek is "lucky" to cop a fine, rather than a ban. COLLINGWOOD forward Brody Mihocek has been fined for his dangerous push on Richmond gun Nick Vlastuin on Sunday. Mihocek gave away a free kick after pushing Vlastuin into two oncoming players during the second quarter of the Magpies' 36-point win at the MCG. The Match Review Officer charged Mihocek with rough conduct, grading the incident as careless conduct, low impact and body contact. Mihocek can accept a $1500 fine with an early plea. THE FAVOURITISM TOWARDS THE PIES IS AMAZING THE AFL SAID TO STAMP THIS OUT BUT THE MRO MICHAEL CHRISTIAN IGNORES THAT AND SUPPORTS HIS PIES HERITAGE

Brad Greens letter to members
@BDA @beelzebub @dazzledavey36 @picket fence Its a corporate type world … this is Brad’s To Do list ✅ letter to Members … done But this is not the corporate world “Frustrated!!!” That’s not enough People are saying that “the Saints win will go down in folklore for generations to remember”. Does Brad know how that feels? Where’s the true compassion for the fans? We don’t support the club because we played for them. We love the club because we give our soul, our hopes and dreams to the club. We maybe care too much. We get angry when we see a lack of a “duty of care” from our players. That was evident as we folded under pressure. We are a laughing stock in the media and throughout the league. We have lost any respect earned. You train to do your job in all aspects and when you fail in key tasks and key moments so so many times on so so many occasions, members have the right to feel disappointed, hurt, frustrated, embarrassed and betrayed.

St Kilda v Melbourne10 Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera STK 6 Max Hall STK 5 Max Gawn MELB 5 Jack Viney MELB 2 Christian Petracca MELB 2 Bayley Fritsch MELB Seems about right. Thought JV7, Trac & Gawn as our best again. The odd guard with farrrk all support. Max Hall. From suburban footy to the VFL to the AFL. Now he’s starring. 100% Energy and effort. Not a bad starting point for recruiting.

Media Madness
@dazzledavey36 agree. Weakness, vulnerability.. whatever you call it, we are ripe for the picking. We are again being seen as irrelevant. A laughing stock. Who can argue with that!!! They want to pick at the MFC carcasse. My point is that there is no constructive thought There is no question of the development … no question of the list changes of players lost … and the strategy of the trading since 2021 I just think the same story gets played by journos to sell off Oliver and Petracca and even Viney and May. Repetitive story … Dees need to trade out Petracca to the Pies and Oliver to the cats… by Peter Ryan Jay Clark Jon Ralph Scott Gullan Sam McClure Damien 666 Barrett

Sorry Andy. I missed this one. Understandable in the circumstances. I posted earlier and only went back to the very start to see this. We all need time to heal.

PODCAST: Rd 20 vs St. Kilda
@Demonland @binman Shall we send Terrence back to Brussels? Poor soul. Has seen a victory, Then an insipid spineless effort against Carlton and now viewed one of the greatest white flag implosions of a club in 32 minutes v the Saints Seriously questions … so many but WHY WAS KOZZZY ON THE BENCH FOR THE LAST PART OF THE QUARTER AND INDEED FOR SUCH CRUCIAL MINUTES? WHAT WAS SAID AT 3/4 TIME? It must have been to relax and not compete ? HOW DO WE SOLVE THE CLARRY CONFIDENCE CRISIS? He showed again his heart and soul effort, unquestioned, but he panics with the footy and (in the big moment) with 2 minutes to play, his run into goal and to miss everything from 20 metres out was destroying to everyone? HOW CAN THE CLUB RESPOND? WE ARE A LAUGHING STOCK? WE CANNOT GO BACK TO BEING IRRELEVANT? WE WANTED A GRAND FINAL VICTORY AT THE MCG, TO EXPERIENCE THE THRILL ... BUT WE FEEL AS FAR AWAY AGAIN AS EVER !! This week we need therapy … can the pod provide solace and unity and compassion for the true believers in the red and the blue ???

PREGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Why was Spargo back? Did barely anything !!! Why was Sparrow back?? He was knocked out!!! Why was Petty back in ?? He did little at Casey. I thought they’d at least give Johnson a game.

Heartbreaking losses
Dees have had some of the most heartbreaking and embarrassing losses The 1987 loss in the preliminary final v Hawks … buckenara after the siren The 186 points flogging by the Cats in 2011 The 190 points flogging by the FITZROY Lions in 1979 The 96 point flogging by the Hawks in the 1988 GF The Bombers comeback from 47 points, after 4 minutes of the last quarter (1992) Now… THE SAINTS COMEBACK FROM 46 POINTS DOWN AT 3/4 TIME TO BEAT THE DEES INCLUDING TWO GOALS IN THE LAST 40 SECONDS, INCLUDING A 6-6-6 BREACH WITH 8 SECONDS TO GO AND NO ONE NEAR THE SAINTS BEST PLAYER STANDING 25 METRES AWAY FROM GOAL (2025) I can say that I have been at all of these games … all except for the Cats ANNILIATION at Kardinia Park

Well. What a mess !! Was he last man standing ?!?!?! Now in crisis , we have no CEO to truly make the footy department accountable!! Who’s sacking Goodwin?? No one !!!

PODCAST: Rd 20 vs St. Kilda
@Demonland Binman - No stats this week Andy - Please give us the biggest RANT ever !!! That last quarter killed me inside. For three quarters, all was good. Liked the game. Viney was tackling everyone in sight. Fritta kicking goals. Maxy clearly has ALL AUSTRALIAN honours again. I was looking forward to a nice 8 goal win and a relaxing Sunday night!! NO TEAM LOSES FROM 46 POINTS UP But wait … then … WHAT THE We gave them momentum Our players panicked Oliver runs into goal from 20 metres out and misses EVERYTHING 6-6-6 kindergarten mistake Embarrassing Heartbreaking Soul destroying We are the laughing stock of the AFL We are an irrelevant club That’s the truth WE ARE ALL IN HELL BURN IT DOWN
