So which 12 months last year of this year, what position does a Board member play?

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.

Is there a way to put a topic on ignore?

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. 

Why sack a [censored] coach for an even shitter coach

[censored] it. Straight swap. Pyke for Goodwin. Get it done. 

I’d rather Mark Neeld

Goodwin to Adelaide ?  Marvellous  idea....get the paperwork  ready ;)

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.

Ridiculous hypothetical

One can dream .....


"Sorry Simon Crows made an offer we can't match it sorry to see you go best of luck at the Crows here's the taxi I'll hold the door open for you ALL THE BEST MATE"

 

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.

Ah Saty don’t worry all is going swimmingly this season. Just relax and enjoy.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
