    Goodwin is a fraud.

    We are the worst 'professional' sporting club in Australia,  if not the world.

    An embarrassment to the city, and to the game.

    Lyon, Jakovich, Schwarz, Farmer, Neitz, Robbo. Even Greeny and Jurrah gave us something to cheer about.

    Oh for the days when we had guns around goal.

    Sad and embarrassing. Worst there's nothing for young supporters to get excited about. No magic.

    Not playing Preuss to at least crash some packs and halve a few contests was criminal.

    Goodwin. Doubts doubts doubts.

    9 straight to 4 .10 in the second half

    Not really sure you can blame the coach for the players ability to [censored] it up so often.

    They are generating the opportunities so not really sure you can lay all of the blame with the coach

    There were actually some very good signs today imo. Yes, Spargo and Garlett were dismal but May and Lever did well given time away from the game. And, really, Gawn was the best player on the ground. We are missing another key forward but it's far from hopeless.

Time for Goodwin to at least pretend like he’s making a statement at the selection table. Drop him until he kicks 5 goals a week and his form demands him to be picked again. The missed shot for goal in the last quarter says it all.

    Disappointing just because I deluded myself in to think this would be better, but really it was just more of the same: getting heaps of the ball but just not translating it in to goals.  

    Heaps of positives from this game though. Lever at 80% added heaps. I thought May in his first full game was good. Our whole backline looked far more cohesive and kept us alive in the first half. Hannan got better as the game went on. Weideman slowly but surely hitting form and becoming a forward threat again. It might be that thing of deluding myself again but I truly think we’re not as far off as ladder position might suggest.

    Thought Maxy deserved a paragraph of his own. He is simply immense. He’s playing as a genuine midfielder now without giving up any of his other strengths. If we were winning he’d be being lauded as the best player in the game on current form.

    ...With this year well and truly done (just for laughs, if the Blues and Suns win next week, we'll be dead last), I really hope the club now just narrows its focus to 2020, with nothing escaping the microscope - off season prep, Goody and our dumb football, player's positions, captains, who should and shouldn't be there etc. 

    Today's positives: I liked Hannan and Hunt up forward again. Weid looked great, yeah his kicking wasn't great but he looked more confident. Imagine if he gets decent delivery!

    May, Lever and Hore will get better out back. Will be pretty sweet with Hibbo and Salem doing their thing.

    Can't ask much more from Maxxy either.

    Won the midfield battle yet still can’t find the big sticks.

    Same every bloody week.

    Do you blame the coaches or do we simply need better forwards??

    Coaching group need to spend the bye having a review.

    -  skills deplorable / poor decision making

    -  no forward line connectivity

    -  players not developing / not fit enough

    -  game style (frenetic / pointless) ball movement exposed every week

    -  no improvement over 12 months to the above

    -  keep making wrong selection calls -  Spargo

    Interview with ?deGoey

    " We knew if we could break even on the inside we'd get them on the outside"

    As ever... Been the case for a fair while. St Kilda this year and last year, Essendon etc etc

     

    This is coaching

    Goodwin is the one who stated "We are building something special".

    Fraudulent statement. We have seen the proof all year.

    I can’t remember a more inept forward line for such a long time. 

    Also, the play on at all costs needs to be thrown out during the bye.

    It’s not a winning formula. Just drop it and formulate something better with this list.

    We played some pretty good footy at times today.

    Now … I reckon .... we only need to learn how to kick, mark and handball … and we'll win a few games.

    plus some game awareness, body positioning, footy IQ, positioning on the ground and reading the play. all fixed.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
