I won’t question Goodwin, because everytime I do, I get smashed from pillar to post. But we lost this game, like many others over the last few years, due to selection and match ups/set ups. 

Gawn bloody good but 

No...please question the 'steering committee " ....i do.

That was a schmozzle...from selection to execution.

A train wreck forseen.

Question him and question him hard. He's shown absolutely nothing as a game day coach or developer of young players. 

 

The only reason we LOST this game was because of bad, bias umpiring.

Lewis, Tyson, Petty and Weideman back to VFL. They were all next to useless today.

Petty and Weideman are our future 

 

Tyson maybe

 

Lewis never again please

Umpiring was appalling, but look at the ladder. We lost this game because we played awful slow footy. 

 

Our "brand" is built around roles.

Can't say either is working too well.

Goodwin must hate Paul Roos. 

He took any bit of defence Roos instilled in us and [censored] it right off. 

Patently obvious that has occurred. It began to look elite twelve months after Roos' departure - experience building. Now, absolute tripe, poor selections, poor development, no genuine aggression or skills. 


- Petty looked like a lost child

- How many time are our forwards going to fly for the same ball?? FFS

Lost this one at selection.

The balance wasn’t right today.

Harry Petty has potential but should have been kept in wraps for a while longer.

Billy Stretch and Sam Frost have been very strong for weeks at Casey and should have been picked. 

 

WJ agrees with me on this issue- Goodwin couldn't pick his nose.

Come on media hit us hard and put the acid on Goodwin!  This club deserves all the tags it wears.  Losing to a bottom team who played with purpose and heart.  We are a club who has no Heart!!!! Goodwin and his rabble of a coaching group should hang their heads in shame.  Another generation of supporters getting killed off by this club.

We need to bring out our own version of this for that 6 game winning streak we had before we fell off a cliff.  Its the closest thing this club will ever have to success.

Petty not ready

Oscar very weak 1 on 1

Viney wasted tagging

McDonald obviously not 100%, agree he should have been rested

Needed one of Stretch, Garlett, Spargo

Obviously our best came in the final qtr. Many lifted in that 30 minutes... the heavy criticism of Jones is unwarranted, J Smith had several important involvements when forward of the centre, clutch goal by Lewis was fantastic, Hogan contributed during last. Gawn, Viney, Hibberd, Harmes, Fritsch our best

Every week is a new challenge, we're not done yet! 


Give Keilty a run, Frost has the experience but Dec has been playing better plus as a mature age recruit whose been at VFL level for 4 years now I don't think he'll look anywhere near as lost as Petty did out there.

How the hell we came to within 2 points I'll never know, good fight back in the last quarter but just horrible.

Weid has had many opportunities but cant perform in the big time. 

Has any club had as many false dawns as Melbourne?

This year is done even if we are still in the 8. We’ve been found out. Just run and run and you’ll win the game against our slow plodders.

Yeah we got that one right huh?  Charlie Curnow anyone?

The MFC has no balls

Norm Smith gelded the club the day he was sacked

NOTHING has changed in 53 years within the soul of this club

Personel come and go, but we remain in the same place

Soft under pressure

As I posted before the game, the umpires had to force the score-evening goals in the first half; they excelled, maintaining these incorrect and unnecessary decisions for the entire game. By half time, I had counted 4 StKilda goals being granted for unwarranted 'infrigements', perhaps the 5th could be included for 'absolute tiggy-touchwood' decision-making as it was getting more dificult to spot the error when it was not there. We are being cheated and this is the 8th time this season that it has occurred - albeit we still won a couple of games in that mix. We cannot allow this to continue - it is too obvious and everyone is scared to comment on it. The Club must initiate the enquiry, not be one referral but frequently, en masse, seriously, as there is now adequate video footage to be used as evidence. 

Well the statistics show that St Kilda did a lot more short kicks than us. Against Port Adelaide we just continually  banged it up to a very crowded full forward and hoped someone marked it. This is how we consistently fail to score against good teams and poor teams for that matter. We just never  beat St Kilda and Hawthorn and …….  Perhaps a team from Darwin could represent us?

Joel Smith to come in and play Lever's role? What a joke.

Frost was the obvious option.

Petty not even near it but lets choose him ahead of Frost!  So Goody.

No crumbing small forward 2 weeks running...still betting eveything on 3 Talls.. joke of the year especially when found out against the Pies and Port (both in the 8).  If that doesn't tell you something then you don't deserve to be coaching any team at AFL level.

 

There are no words..... I’m totally shattered.

You get an idea of an umpires underlying motivation when he pays in the back against Salem after a magnificent chase and tackle (the in the back resulted from the Saint player diving forward well after being pinned legitimately). Similarly last week, Nicholls motivation was laid bare for all to see with the 'blocking' free against Melksham.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
