    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
