    You can’t just single him out. 

    We are collectively woeful right now and Goodwin needs to start earning his money.

    Give me McCartin any day. Even with how rain would have given him concussion today. Still has more heart than him

    Trade. Cut your losses. Don’t wait until he has no value like Watts.

    Bingo.

    Trac aint the problem.  He is out of form for sure, as evidence by some of his errors tonight, but the issue is so much more around how we are playing at the moment in terms of our game style.  Chris Scott out coached us big time tonight.

    I think that time has already passed. Only club that picks up players with no heart, no fitness and horrible skills is the one putting him up for trade!

    Need to have football basics drilled into him. Whether that’s VFL or AFL level I don’t know. He just makes far too many fundamental mistakes with the basics of the game. His strength and power are impressive, but aren’t utilized in games and therefore become irrelevant.

    He needs to drop five kilograms and have a stint at Casey.

    He needs a stint in the twos. Needs to learn to be a team player

    He needs a genuine kick up the [censored].

    he plays like a guy who was just that much bigger then the other kids as a junior and believes his own hype in the way he gets around but has been found wanting playing in the big time amongst grown men

    seems to just wait for things to happen and doesn’t go anywhere near hard enough or with any purpose or conviction.

    a spell at Casey might do him good but a reinvention ofhis body shape could be in order.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
