So, I'm not generally in the "sack Goodwin" camp, although I do think he's under massive pressure, but can someone explain something to me?

Why pick one of the smallest teams ever, and then make the game plan slow and long down the line?

Structure, structure, structure. Must have at least one tall in the forward line. This is incredible to watch, especially when the mids are clearly bombing it long to the non-existant tall.

Yep Goodwins lost these players.

I’ve turned off, that last 3-4min of play was pure garbage. Stupid footy, with us coughing up opportunities for us and them getting a shot on goal right before half time. 

Another goalless quarter, total ineptitude. I was going to name specific players but really almost the entire team coughing up DEAD BASIC kicks/handballs. 

Our “good” players are not performing well either. Gawn is the one player doing his job well, Level and Hibberd are trying to hold out in defence but when it comes down there it’s under so little pressure it makes it hard for them. 

But Brayshaw, Oliver, Viney, Jones, Harmes are getting murdered in the middle. And while I’m mentioning Oliver, what the F was that shot on goal? He needs to be nailing them 90% of the time. 

We are so pathetically bad it’s excruciating.

It's Friday night, I can't believe I'm watching this.

You'll be on your own soon,  viewers surely won't put themselves thru this putrid drivel for much longer. 

Beyond awful. 

No more Friday games for us for a few years

Good theatrics going on out there

Longmire carrying on like a pork chop to feign interest

Macca patting guys on the bum as they're coming off, trying to gee them up

The commentators talking about Hamilton and Fred Fanning

And Bruce commentating on the seagulls

Awesome

Meanwhile, we are [censored] - Jonesy, thanks for your service

Really are we surprised with the team we have out there?

4 midgets and we bomb it high and can’t stick a tackle.

Very predictable.

does not matter if they are  midgets or talls they have all had plenty of opportunity to get tackle the swans players and have failed to do so. Max is the only one i see doing a good job. We are slow to move the ball and we cannot hit a target. ANB should not be out there, sorry but i dont see any place in the side as bad as it is for stretch, i wish i could but he is just not up to it. and i wish i knew what the hell salem is doing with his kicking its diabolical today.

 He’s gone missing this qtr, Swans KIDS are running rings around us. 

If that is correct BA then the contrast of output / quality is astonishing between quarters.

Goody looks completely lost for answers in the box and shows no emotions at any point.  I would be furious at some of the passages of play as a team and from many individuals tonight. 

Get to the bench, attempt to at least show them / highlight where they are going wrong immediately while the errors are still fresh and highlighting the alternative ways available to improve as a team and individual.

Bruce didn't get the Rowbottom nickname initially. Paddlebum.

Well pointed out by Rooey. 

Arrogance is debilitating... would love Oliver to have the vision and accuracy of fritta.

I’m ok with him staying on for one more year, but he should be on massively reduced coin and be glad that we’re giving him another run in the red and blue.

He obviously has himself as captain on supercoach. As do all our players .. it’s survival mode, team play is almost non existent.

It's true. We waited for so long for a few Friday night games. We got them, and look what we've done. It'll be 2050 before we see another one.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
