I know there's another thread on Simon Goodwin, but for me watching at the game last night, this statistic says it all about the coaching Group's overall competency and should call into question the option of any non-performance clause in employment contacts by the Board being exercised.

1. At half time, both team had equal possessions - 185 each. 

2. But ...In the 3rd 1/4 when the wheels fell off MFC had 25% more possessions than the swans. What happened?

3.And.... Overall of the Inside 50 count of 55, half of these were delivered by arguably the clubs best 4 players/onballers  - Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmnes and Petracca.

4.   And yet..... only 2 goals were scored from 1/4 time. If you ignore the dubious free kick goal, then our gun onballers set up 1 goal from 1/4 time despite owning the leather, sort of. How?

 

Irrespective of player fitness and/or injury, the Board's first question on Monday  is how can what is seemingly impossible be so easily achieved by the supposed 'best list' in the AFL?

This is not a player issue.  IMO the players got the team the the prelim last year on 6 weeks of G and D. The rest is fugazi

Like last year I shall attend the AGM , and this will be my question from the floor if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Or Simon addresses it to my satisfaction in his much anticipated address to the members that night.

 

 

I raised a thread yesterday, Pert on the MFC podcast yesterday said there will be a fan forum after the season. All members can attend and ask any question they like. All key people from the Footy Dept will be in attendance.

looking forward to hearing your and others qs. I just hope we get the chance to respond to the response.

Member q: why did we go backwards and how are you looking to turn it around Goody?

Goody: “we’ll be working harder than ever to turn it around...”

Member: “Simon working harder doesn’t just work, how are you actually looking to understand that maybe, just maybe your game plan doesn’t stack up AND the fact you have pushed the club to draft literally 1 type of player (inside mid)?”

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
