Damning Statistic for Board/Coaching Panel 'conversation'

Featured Replies

Posted

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)?”

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
