    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
