If you want to see how to do a club rebuild look at the Lions. Go out and get a gun midfielder and recruit a spine. Get a legend Hodge to teach kids what it about. Get a coach from a winning culture. Compare that to us we recruit a coach from the druggies. Say it all

Fagan spent 8 years coaching at Melbourne around our 2000 grand final appearance, is that the winning culture you were talking about?

[censored] me Salem is the only player in this team who should kick a football. 

Who the [censored] is on Zorko? What is the setup? How are our coaches not under pressure?

North lost their coach and are above us on the ladder? Richardson under pressure but St Kilda are also ahead of us. So how then is Goodwin not copping it for this rubbish season?

Fair question...but want get sacked as just signed....

 

Will he ever cop any pressure for his terrible coaching? Lack of game plan? Poor set up? Stupid team selections? 

How is Goodwin beyond criticism?

    Why the [censored] is Weid jogging to the ball when it’s kicked to him inside 50?

    Saw this, he does it a lot, as soon as he thinks his out of initial contest he calls it quits instead of pushing to still make a contest of it. Who the [censored] does he think is going to mop it when it lands when his still the closest player? Lazy player

    Recruiters? I am really fed up with the coach too!

    Phark this footy club.

    Weak.

    Pathetic.

    Embarrasing.

    Laughing stock.

    What else?

    Umm...

    Shameful

    No I just think the terms weak, pathetic, embarrassing, laughing stocks and shameful ought to do it.

    [censored] them!


    Just gave up. Can’t mark, can’t defend, can’t kick a goal without them kicking one back. Another win we just [censored] away. I’m cooking dinner now. Not eating late to witness this pitiful effort

    really hope lessons are learned.

    Why is Gawn on the ground? Doesn’t appear 100%. 

    You missed the ankle injury 

    Baker showing why he was delisted from Brisbane without getting a game. Looks a mile off it and has been caught more times than any player I can remember.

    Get Gawn off the field. He’s clearly injured so why bother risking making the injury worse!

    Lions 2 injuries, means you field your best team.

    We’re playing guys like Hore, Hannan, T Smith, Baker, Petty who just aren’t  good enough at the moment.

    Also why do so Melbourne players fly for the mark both ends and nobody roves the pack!


    The only players worthy of today's paycheck. Salem and Fristch because of their use he foot, and May and Frost down back. Jones also did some good things. The rest rubbish, skills and decisions.

    Zero chance of that. That would require Goodwin to actually have a plan B.

    No I saw the ankle injury. I fear another Joel Smith scenario

    At least they are playing Gawn deep forward and not in the ruck.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
