Another wrist slashing thread, ho hum

The 12 months from Jackson 's exit has been bad but it could stretch back to Goodwin's first day as senior coach. Our board maintains "we are experts who are born to rule" attitude that has hampered our team since our last flag. Our drafting and player management has become stupid. No wrist slashing - seen it all before. The AFL will probably need to do another intervention if we don't improve our competitiveness across the franchise.

    13/13 poll suggests it's not as ridiculous as some are making it out to be. Unlikely sure.

    I don’t think we’d go after Roos to ‘ward off’ Carlton, wouldn’t it be to steady the ship? 

    Either way, bring back Roos.

    Could've been worded better no doubt. I really meant that the club looks upon Roos' On The Couch comments about Carlton and his frustrations with Goodwins tactics, as an admission that he's gettable once again.

     I’d rather a goodbye to Goodwin and go after someone other than Roos (as good as he was for us, he was and would always be a part time solution). 

    I’d rather go after a Ratten or maybe a Caracalla first.

    I'd rather anyone at all except Goodwin.

    Adelaide won’t replace one mediocre coach with another. They are a winning club with lots of pride and money. They are not Melbourne.

    Ratten can coach, remember what he did with Melb's midfield years ago. He's been part of Clarko's regime and now his time at Carlton doesn't look as bad.

    Of course he can coach. He just didnt git the mentality of some of the old back room boyz club of ours.

    Goodwin has a lot of work to do but....

    Roos came in, stacked the side with veteran midfielders and won 4 games and 7 games and steadied the ship with an awful game plan of flooding back and hoping to keep games tight. He got some fundamentals right - defensive work rate was good, attack on the contest was good, defensive spoiling skills were solid.

    Goodwin then took over and introduced an aggressive zone defence, upped the forward pressure from 0 to actually competent and created an angle changing aggressive ball movement system that challenged a lot of teams as he won 10, 12 and then 15 games.

    A lot of things have gone wrong this year:
    1. Injuries, injuries and more injuries
    2. List management failures with lack of quality outside running depth
    3. Skill breakdowns - the fundamental handball yet alone kicking skills aren't there
    4. Structure around the ball falling away

    Goodwin has a responsibility in a lot of it but the idea he's suddenly a poor coach after 1 year when he really built this team from little more than Roos' scrappy Vince/Jones/Cross resistance to a prelim final side doesn't make sense to me.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

        • Thanks
