Too fat, too slow can't kick. I'm calling it right now BUST! Drop him and trade him.

THOUGHTS?

    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

    Wish I could change my display name .   Very lazy footballer with no tank.  Also cant kick.  So disappointing.

    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.

    Drop him and get rid of him at seasons end.

    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.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
