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!

    Put him on the wing and tell him to play like dipper a fat Italian who could actually play.

    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 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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
