You mean Brad?

Even if he says no, at least he could show Goody how to walk away with years left on a contract

All the same to me.

A piece of driftwood would have more to offer than Goodwin at the moment.

Who would you bring in though?  On form, 3 quarters of our team should not be playing!  

Anybody but Fritsch and Gus.  Cwags and Maynard.  The former are so far off it you may as well send them back to try and get a little of their mojo back for the 2nd half of the season.

And for Fritsch i would only be bringing him back as a wing or HF after showing some stellar form in that position at Casey.  That might mean leaving him there for the rest of the season (if he doesn't).

  Injuries happen. They’ve destroyed us, but we also came into the season with poor game plan planning and with no real structural move on from last season, despite rule changes and losing our key forward. 

This is the rub for me.
The "Chaos ball" Hail Mary game plan is garbage.
Our issues have been there for all to see over the previous 2 seasons  and nothing has been done to rectify the problems.
And we jumped the gun and hobbled ourselves for 4 years.
Sheesh.

The injuries were always going to come.

GWS can physically do anything they want & we don’t respond. Toby Green knee’s with intent to hurt on MacDonald, then our skipper cops a full on poor disguised punch in the face & just nothing.

softest team in the Comp by a fair margin.

McDonald injured? Excellent. 

Can we just call the season off?

Been useless anyway. Weak in the air. Weak on the ground. And we banked on him being our main man. Good grief.

The truth. Not a robotic answer about connection 

There is bad [censored] going down behind closed doors ?

I cannot understand how/why we prematurely extended Goodwin by four years!?

It's not like he was at risk of being poached mid-season  by other clubs this year!

This still hasn't been explained by the club and epitomises the disconnect between the back slapping club administrators and the rank and file members!

He's better than Weideman.

But has he won a game? I can’t remember.

That all too familiar feeling of 3 qtr time, seeing fans around you leaving because they have had enough, being tempted yourself but not moving because of some stupid 'moral code' that is just engrained in you now, and lastly the late footy game seagulls.

What. A. Feeling.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
