Paul Roos must be sad to see what a poor coach his choice in Goodwin has turned out to be.

Neal-Bullen is a right footed clone of Tom Bugg, putrid skills

But he can run lots and lots.

most uninspiring half of footy ive ever seen from a team coming off a 11 goal loss.


Still really dumb going inside 50. Hogan the latest culprit.

What we are offering up is nothing short of disgusting. At the moment we wouldn't be capable of beating anyone. How we beat the Lions and Roos is beyond me.

I was undecided on Goodwin as a coach a couple of weeks ago, but wow, the past 10 days have made it really clear.

 

Imagine if we had a quality and composed ball user who could be that link from HB to HF. You know, someone like WATTS.

Dafuq?


Dumb footy,  flawed planned. 

Need big changes at half time. 

The only club in the AFL that doesnt want to kick goals.   The only club in the AFL that falls asleep for 45 minutes + per game.

This team is totally disjointed, and I assume its fallout from the camp saga.  

Well that wasn’t good. Richmond hemmed our play in to one wing and the last kick nearly always went to a difficult contest. They are a very well drilled side and we are not coping.

Need things to change to get back in this. Need to somehow find a way to move the ball through the middle would be a good start.


Someone smarter than me please explain what is wrong with maintaining some form of forward structure? Dumb football.  The challenge is we have had a dip and are well in it but I am waiting for our bad quarter. 

Not sure how Harmes and ANB have both gone so backwards. Harmes looks like a complete hack this season and ANB is looking embarrassingly scared along with this mate Stretch 

Effort decent.

Skills fucken horrendous.

Game plan... non existent unless its over handball, hanball to peoples feet and kick down the line.

 

How much longer for ANB and Harmes? 

Woeful 

We desperately need Viney back

Stretch is rubbish and not even at VFL level after the length of experience in the system.

I would agree with that. I'd cut a lot of these guys at seasons end (or at least let them know they aren't in our plans). I will say, Stretch  isn't taking us anywhere, James Harmes is terrible (especially considering he doesn't know his limits), Brayshaw is too slow for AFL - and can only play as a mid, and isn't even up to that, Tyson is wasteful, ineffective, and rarely seen defensively. I could go on and on, but I think those are the main guys who have stood out as poor to me (at least tonight). Really disheartened tonight. Haven't rated our year at all, even when we won it was poor football. We are regressing big time IMO. Its just really disappointing.


We just had a quarter with about 5 inside 50s vs. 20 odd. That's not coaching...just a lack of ability to out compete your opponent...

Lucky not to be 7 or 8 goals down.

I'm ignoring this thread as I can't watch the game, I'm only going by stats.

Could someone who is sound of mind give me, and others in the same boat, a brief run down of the half.  It seems like we're having a dip but running into the same problems.

We are getting destroyed at the contest. We have no structure at all over the entire ground, we are scared to kick inside and to switch,

[censored] disgrace.

Fourth choice wasn’t he, behind Dew, Kirk, and Ling?

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
