Damning Statistic for Board/Coaching Panel 'conversation'

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)?”

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
