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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
