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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
