Leave Spargo, do not sign another contract, nothing good is coming for this group

I am very very close to walking from this club, not to another but away from the sport. I can not do another rebuild under another coach. 

I am a member of Storm and Victory.  It’s uplifting.  You expect to win, not be ‘frustrated, disappointed, gutted’ all the time.  Storm and Victory have game plans. Goodwin has neither

13 to 6 inside 50s.

1.3 to 3.2 for the quarter.

Not many gameplans work when you don’t tackle and pressure and can’t kick simple goals. 

Players to blame

Time in forward half this quarter 82% Melb, 18% Ess. Result 1.3 us, 3.1 them!

I would not be surprised if we are the least efficient team in the AFL (or very close to it) at scoring from inside 50 entries and conversions at goal.

This is a team bereft of confidence.

They are trying to operate under a structure and with a system that is complete rubbish.

We all know that the talent isn't this bad.

No wonder our skills and decision making is poor.

It’s obvious that they don’t believe in the coach and the game plan.

It seems when rookies come into our side they instinctively know where to be inside forward 50, then after a few weeks they become more and more indecisive and caught out of position. Is this a coaching issue whereby rather than allow instincts to dictate position the players are instructed to be somewhere which goes against their natural instinct?

Spargo. Shining light. They have not had the chance to ‘coach’ him out of energised footy. Stay impulsive and aggressive young man. 

Dont worry Spirit This group will F5*K him right up only a matter of time

Yes that’s my point. We teach anxiety and indecisive footy. Run, entertain and attack attack.

In a perverted way I don't mind losing this one as in reality it means season over and then they might relax and try to play some decent football.... coach very much included

Well done Melksham!  Finally a target inside 50!

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
