Melbourne’s Demons Coach Simon Goodwin’s Day of Reckoning; Bombers being; The star of the West Coast Eagles hits on the side; Geelong Cats Bailey Smith’s star
But he also needs to act to make sure that non -negotiations apply to everyone.
Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver, Steven May and Bayley Fritsch, who seemed to forget somewhere along the line that are playing a team sport, appear right now to be altruistic on the football field.

Of course, they are trying and of course they want to do the right thing, but they are listening to the advice right?
The effect of the absence of Angus Brayshaw It is material and the minds of Max Gawn and solid artists and Langdon, Jake Bowey and Kade Chandler must wander while these teammates are high in an attempt to keep the spirits high. What young players think is a hypothesis of anyone.
Petracca’s landfill kicks inside 50 in the first half should have led him to sit on the pine, while Oliver was tagged out of the game in the first half and continues to play after his behavior rebellious two years earlier. It can blame everyone in sight when he dropped a sign at the end of the third quarter and unfortunately Fritsch is low -form and trust. The only consequence are the constant criticisms, which seem to ignore anyway.
Jack Viney was a great warrior and an excellent player, but the club’s decision at the end of last season to extend his contract until 2028 he was hasty. The Council must accept responsibility.
Goodwin complained about the lack of combat of the team in the first half. To be brutally honest, their so -called search for mutual love seemed convincing how to listen to couples Married at first sight Describe their feelings for their partner.
The claim of the connection is strong outside the field is fine, but there is no evidence that they are the case on the field and what happens on the field is the most relevant indicator of a mile. Until the connection on the field, cynicism will prevail.
The different level of support that gave each other in the third quarter and the courage they suddenly showed you made you ask if they had undergone a long pause commitment ceremony. It did not last, however, with the head that fell again in the last quarter, a quarter who did not win this year.

Post-game, Goodwin seemed to put the burden on the inability of the attackers to make the most of the eight more than the 1950s and nine other central spaces (they had played only one behind the clear centers) compared to their opposition.
But Fred Fanning would have fought to hit the scoreboard with the delivery within 50 from the premiership stars that seem to blame everyone except for themselves for any result that he does not like them. An explanation is that they are safe and do not clearly think, looking too hard now to make their words correspond.
The young group, Jacob Van Rooyen, Harvey Langford, Xavier Lindsay, Judd Mcvee, Bowey, Caleb Windsor, Koltyn TholStrup, Trent Rivers and Co. Have the talent and character to carry on the team quickly once other problems solved.
Only the same questions will be ordered if they are asked.
Some winners of premiership in Melbourne have been abandoned for too long, or has the football department led by Alan Richardson allowed some to remove the track? Are the incoherent standards identified in the review and as can be seen in the second and third quarter of Saturday evening, which are faced?
This is a question that the advice must revisit because so far there are doubts about the tests that the internal review has really answered this question.
We hope that Melbourne members do not decide to evaluate their options ruthlessly and business like some demons players in the recent past. Who could blame fans for evaluating whether to be at MCG on Saturday afternoon to see Melbourne play Fremantle?

The coach was good at Melbourne and deserves respect. Nobody would have worked more to repair the score problems he knows not only the team he needs, but the game, as an entertainment product, requires.
Forget love. Start with altruism on the field and see where it takes you.
West Coast’s troubles
Liam Baker played in two leaks at 10 goals in his first 100 games with Richmond.
He started his career that he only needs to play his role, while the club champions separated the tigers from their opposition.

In his first five games in West Coast, he played in three defeats above 60 points.
But the two -time Premiership player has never been close to a team that lost the contested ball of 60, as the West Coast on Saturday against Carlton did. No player has ever played in a team that recorded a total number of contested balls of 77, a minimum record for the statistical one.
“It’s pathetic, really,” said a shattered baker after playing.
He is not wrong, but it is less a statement in the current team as he reflects the club’s decision since 2022 when they have won 10 out of 73 games.
Like Baker, the CEO of Club Don Pyke also played in two flags in his first 103 games with the eagles once powerful, now unrecognizable. He would have hurt him to see the colors to such a low ACB, while preparing to stack a good decision after a good decision in an attempt to regain respect that once he lost this great football team.
Pyke’s position brings a high degree of difficulty since thrash are so embarrassing, it is inevitable that some will seek the exit door. The new coach Andrew Mcquarter will not allow it. He decided to stick to long -term solutions.
He admitted that such a great disparity in the contested ball was unacceptable, but he will stick to his position of bleeding young players and will keep the integrity of the selection by sending players who do not perform in Wafl.
It can be reassured on the new chair, Elizabeth Gaines, knows the state of the list and the attention will be focused on the recruitment of the right players and the involvement of the games. This is the first step. The western coast must also pour coaching resources into development, as they have 22 players on their list that are under 22 years old. This is too many young and inexperienced players in a list to develop effectively unless it became the focus of the club.
Baker, together with Jake Waterman and Jack Graham, are 27 years old and are the real leaders of this group. Oscar Allen may need a new beginning just to enjoy football again, if nothing else.
“It’s a difficult period of transition, but we just have to stick to what we are trying to do,” Baker said.
Harley Reid will be taught in the right way, but it remains a development player, although one who has already played in 11 losses of over 60 points in his first 25 games, more than any other choice n. 1 from 2000 separately the selections of the expansion team n. 1 Lacie Whitfield and David Swallow. This is how the eagles are once large.
The cat and the bird
Geelong must help Bailey Smith to make intelligent and field decisions.
What was said to Patrick Dangerfield as he walked on the race was unacceptable and offensive, but Smith’s reaction was not intelligent.
The problem is not whether it was offensive or to satisfy any expectation that brings as a model. Smith had just had a “barry”. By the way, it’s a Barry Crocker, not beer.
Giving the bird to a person four meters away who is looking for a reaction from an AFL player is cool how much to play your stereo car in full explosion when you drive along Chapel Street. It only adds the polluted atmosphere that the idiot in the crowd has created.

To be honest, the explanation of Smith to the media was authentic and nice but also a little shiver. It was like looking at a repetition of the music show on the Saturday of the 90s of the ABC, Recovery.
The fact that the AFL ends it only a loose change with a penalty of $ 1000 indicates that everyone is happy at the headquarters that this interaction continues. They could say that it has been caused. Players endure all sorts of garbage that should not have to, but this is an unpleasant fact of life. There is no silent approval given to the reaction.
Smith is doing well and is clearly a character, but his reaction compared to Dangerfield, who is a great player who represents the club and the competition with the class, was simply foolish. What did he demonstrate? Cats should use the accident as a teaching opportunity for Smith.
Because anyone who has life experience (and Smith has in abundance) will know a couple of birds in the wrong hands delivered at the wrong time for the wrong people could lead to something much worse and nobody wants it.
Continue walking, reports the behavior, forbids the fan.
Collect a huge winner in SA
The forty percent of the 270,000 who participated in Gather Round came from southern Australia; 27 percent, or 72,900 of the tickets sold, were sold to the Victorians. The concept is a winner and potentially a winner wherever you keep.
Nobody should serve Hobart, Perth, Sydney or Gold Coast by making an offer to do it bigger or better, or even differently. It is difficult to imagine that the round is everywhere except Adelaide, but the variety is the spice of life.
