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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
