Don't you just love it when people who have no knowledge at all on a club have a crack at being a know-it-all about them anyway - hoping nobody will notice?Only guys who have been consistent is Jetta, Gawnand Oliver, While people will Argue with Oliver he's not regressed. just had the same season. he has a few things to work on his game before he's a consistent top 5 midfielder. However he has all the talent and time on his side
Jetta has been our injured most of the year and was profoundly down in form prior to that.
Why are people so obsessed with putting coach X, Y or Z under the microscope? Its like gossip, innuendo and drama fuel their otherwise boring lives.
No, just genuinely s**t this year. Goodwin has nothing to gain from draft picks because he won't see out his contract if he doesn't improve next year.I know it doesn't exist according to the AFL but, could they be tanking? Currently pick 3 which looks very nice but may even go as low as pick 2, mmm
Well Goodwin is failing at that as we just beat CarltonI know it doesn't exist according to the AFL but, could they be tanking? Currently pick 3 which looks very nice but may even go as low as pick 2, mmm
The match did sort of look like two teams trying to lose thoughWell Goodwin is failing at that as we just beat Carlton
1. Richmond are just better. Deeper list. More established game plan. More mature senior players. More gun kids ie. Stack (and Ross).Yet this year with a far heavier injury toll than Melbourne, Richmond have won more games
You’re trying to argue that the drugs Goodwin was injecting were not performance enhancing because he wasn’t a player. You need to understand , the drug was a performance enhancing drug as classified by by WADA.
You’re defending the indefensible. Goodwin as assistant coach was injecting himself with the good stuff whilst also condoning the use of the players under his stewardship as pin cushions.
Please stop.
If Melbourne are missing finals in 2020 he is Gawn.
Melbourne stopped playing 8 off the back of the square for finals last year after tweaking the midfield set ups, it was a move to control the tempo of the game out of centre bounces, that's it. Gawn and the mids could be super aggressive with the hit outs because they had 2 spare covering. It only ever mattered for the first 30 seconds post bounce.Should be axing him this year. Once 6-6-6 came in, he looks lost. 8 off the back of the square was his move, now he can't play it.
1. Richmond are just better. Deeper list. More established game plan. More mature senior players. More gun kids ie. Stack (and Ross).
But...
2. When Richmond were without both key defenders, a couple of starting mids and Riewoldt they didn't look like winning.
With Astbury: 9-3
Without Astbury: 0-3 absolutely spanked by Dogs, Cats and Crows.
Since Steve May has come in to the Melbourne side the Demons have at least looked a chance at holding teams to a reasonable score.
Since Tom McDonald's come back to form after the bye they've looked like kicking a score. The Tigers have the luxury of Lynch to cover Jack.
The demons inside mids have been there all season but not at full fitness but the outside mids have been severely lacking. Fritsch has had to play back because the list doesn't have good half back cover and the backline injuries were huge to start the year. Vandenberg who's a super player has been out all year. Kade Kolodjashnij who was the main addition has been missing pretty much all year. Young Oskar Baker took a while to break in to the side because he also missed all preseason recovering from 2 hammies last year. Even a depth option like Billy Stretch got injured.
Richmond were a flag winning and top team quality list. Melbourne were a team that struggle to make the 8 for long parts last year. The Tigers had exactly this kind of season - both to start 2014 and in 2016. It takes a long time and a lot of good decisions to take a list from horrible to solid as Melbourne's is now and Richmond's was in 2013-2016 to then make that jump to contender. Melbourne have a handy best 15-20 players and some development prospects, that was the focus of the rebuild but it's going to take more excellent trading, drafting and development to fill out the missing pieces in the side and find the depth.
Should be but some ******* moron decided to re sign him for a couple of extra years.Should be axing him this year. Once 6-6-6 came in, he looks lost. 8 off the back of the square was his move, now he can't play it.
Keep losing and no one is off limits mate.Great to see the fraud shown up for what he is. Media won’t attack him because he is a disciple of Roos and so is above reproach.
If we can get Brad Hill I’d be pretty happy. We absolutely need an A grade midfielder though, having a top 5 pick will help us trade for that.I think overall their list is pretty good and will be back in 2020. But I worry they lack star power.
Maybe. Just seems that the media treat Roos as some sort of mythical god that can do no wrong and as he is the bloke that anointed Goodwin he escapes criticismKeep losing and no one is off limits mate.
