18 months into his tenure and I feel we still haven't improved much from 2014.. yeah are one win ahead but his game plan is simply pathetic. Club like GWS WB and St Kilda are ahead of us in development and game style. They play a fast and free flowing game where we still play a very one minded defensive game plan. Roosy needs to seriously consider whether he wants to go on ahead next year. I was a big advocate for him going around again but i can't simply see us improving much at all next year if he keeps going the way he is.

I seriously hope Goodwin brings in a much more attacking style..

This St Kilda is the last straw for me this year. Not watching any more games. Why should supporters sit through this and watch us stink it up with a dull and boring game plan.

    I'm done with him. Too defensive. When we are 4 goals down I have no faith at all to reel it back. Skills haven't improved at all. Been out coached many times. Recruiting has been ok, but teams like st kilda invested In youth and are already past us with a much brighter future.

    We have improved a lot, in a lot of areas both on and off field, sadly that will be an unpopular opinion.

    How can AFL players have such poor basic skills??

    10 seasons we have endured this absolute rubbish

    I thought the skills of our list would be sorted out in the first preseason.

    I have seen companies restructure and fire up in 2 months

    10 seasons....Is anybody held accountable???

    Please provide me with the evidence of where we have improved on the field. I need something right now. Please don't say we have one more win than last year.

    I would hand the reigns over to Goodwin at the end of the year and have Roos as a mentor couldn't be any worse

    Goodwin isn't ready, but it would force him to be way more innovative than a boring Paul Roos.

    The improvement is so miniscule the fans have had enough

    Three weeks ago I would have laughed at this thread, but our last three weeks have been as bad as anything since Roos took over.

    What shits me is he was in the media this week going on how we owe one to St Kilda. Only for us to get smashed. How about paying attention to getting the team to learn to attack rather then [censored] talking about opposition teams

    Roos was preaching last year that we needed to sure up our defence. Well we have gone backwards in a big way for 2015 in this regard.

    Lacklustre at best

    Our best this year is better than our best was last year.

    Our worst, however, is still like it was last year - slow, meek, unskilled, lazy, lack of effort, no structure, just not a team. And that, IMO, is simply not good enough.

    We were better under Bailey

    Yeah, when we lost a game by 186 points?

    Roos has his negatives and we knew what we were going to get after seeing the Swans playing in the early 2000's. He isn't the issue, and if you can't see improvement you are blind.

    Edit: But we have been trash the last few weeks - I blame this on the players, who are the ones on the field missing handballs and kicks and making simple errors.

    Let's hope Goodwin doesn't get rubbed out by WADA and CAS.

    It would be just our luck to be on the hunt for a new coach because Goodwin is rubbed out.

    7 rounds to go. Let's wait until the end of the year and then ask your questions. As I said in another thread, I remember when Bailey was sacked. The knives were out then but what was the point really? 5 rounds were left in the season and it hurt the team's performance rather than helping it. Need I say more about the following two years?

    If we don't win another game for the season, then fine. Ask questions. I'm sure Roosy will be doing that himself. But talk of handing over to Goodwin now is hysterical.

    Bailey had us winning 10 games a season with a weaker list

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
