Trac is the only one showing some energy and intent. Can’t understand the negativity towards him. TMac is the one that makes my blood boil, along with many others.

People get excited by the mark he just took, a player with ability would have taken a couple of steps and nailed the goal.

The saddest thing is we only have 2 best 18 players unavailable...we are miles behind the ladder leaders in game plan, skill execution, ground speed, fitness...why did the football world think we were top 4 material?

Thats why Weideman needs to play out the year in the seniors.

There is potential and shows glimpses. 

Needs to clunk more. Hes showed great signs 2nd half. Better delivery.

Glimpses to consistency hopefully.

Not sure Salem should be playing, doesn’t look right at all. Wouldn’t surprise me given the actions of our medical staff at the start of the year with Joel Smith.

Both Key forwards are flawed footballers with no penetration on their kicking.  They both sit back on their kicks and shank them more often than not.

Trade both along with other NQRs and plenty of delistings for a genuine goal kicking marking key forward and a genuine small forward before the premiership window closes.

Our medical staff sent Frost back on today when he had concussion, so wouldn’t be surprised.

Showing 'glimpses' doesn't win you games of football.

I will repeat - if our supporters are happy to run with him and TMac as your talls again in 2020 we will finish bottom six. Again.

Can’t kick for goal, can’t expect to win 

PS And field kicking too.

Outside of the Neeld era this is the worst coached MFC team I've ever seen.

It's so sad what has happened to our forward structures.... Clearly we are 6 months behind the rest of the comp when it comes to how to set up and move the ball with the new rules.

Rubbish. Bailey was an awful coach. 1999, 2001 and 2003 were much worse than 2019.

But yes Goodwin has been found out. Most coaches don't recover from this degradation, not this early in their careers.

The worst thing about it is that Goody doesn't even know that he's been found out. So he's ignorantly plodding along, blaming everything on injuries (only partly responsible), connection etc, so he doesn't work on his gameplan, or bring someone in with some footy IQ.

 

Last year he was a promising coach with tactical ideas that were different than anything we'd seen in the AFL. This year the difference had been limited preseason, rule changes and injuries all of which make devising and introducing new tactics hard. Let's wait until next year to worry about this.

I’ve said it before and will say it again. Goodwin can’t coach. Been told by someone in the afl that he is still struggling not having the runner out there like last year and can’t adapt to it. Met with afl just a few weeks to discuss it...

That's what happens when you play the first half of the season with one of the youngest 22s in the comp, with an injury risked preseason that means you haven't been able to decide, train and teach tactics to address structural rule changes. The no runner rule affects younger inexperienced teams more than older, successful teams. Which of our players would you expect to be providing on field direction in our back 6 this year?

Legiment issue and discussion from Goodwin.

Placing all our chips on Tmac is a good as investment as Enron. What a disaster.

Guy must be battling some demons of mind. He was a tripple A player and incredibly accurate  Would win games for us.

Shame we didnt have a proven 2nd forward.

Club was complacent not getting a replacement for Hogan.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
