Damning Statistic for Board/Coaching Panel 'conversation'

Featured Replies

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)?”

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
