2015 MFC Season Review

Featured Replies

What makes people think we will be better next year. The glimpses of a few good games. The development of these players is and always has been a problem. The 2nd year blues will hit us between the eyes.

I wrote an email to Roosy stressing the fact that our midfield has fallen apart since Goody took the reins of Assistant Senior Coach and Matthews (who) is our midfield coach.

McPherson (who) is our Forward coach.

Mind you I have never got a response from any email I have sent to the FD. Goody should demand more from his assistants and should act like a new coach and bring in his own group that will coach his way. I think there has been too many teething problems so far.

Roos is coach but Goody is coach in waiting. He wants things done a certain way but Goody wants it done differently. This causes confusion amongst the coaches and players. Until we have one person in charge we will not improve.

The succession plan this time has not been seemless like it was at the swans. This is because the Swans were successful before Longmire took over. We were/are a basket case, so it is a totally different scenario.

The problem is not a player problem it is a FD problem that involves the players.

Fix this problem and the players will improve

I'll stop now I think my IPad is running out of ink.

 

The on-field season has been a failure. 8 wins was a pass and of course we can still make it but won't.

If you consider the off-season as past of the broader 2015 season, then our drafting and signings have been good. H has been a disappointment but apart from that, Brayshaw, VB, ANB, Stretch, Garlett have all been good, although as with the rest of the team the second half has been poor for those players.

Performance: F

Drafting: B+

Free agents and trades: C+

Overall: D+

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
