What exactly is his role in this team?

We gave up two 1st round draft picks for someone plays zero accountable football.

Needs to give more.

Slowly becoming a poor recruiting decision by the club if he keeps this up.

Slowly? Come on Dazz, it's been nothing but reverse ever since he's come across.

Surely Goodwin is on borrowed time. Surely?

Seriously if the board doesn't have the sack to fix their mistake of appointing this imposter of a coach to a further 3 years, then the board needs to go too.

 

I was thankful for him when he took that mark in the dying minutes.... Then he kicked it to Fritsch in a 3 v 1. Wtf? Hoping we just had a lot of rust

We have to sack him but we can’t. We can’t afford to pay him out. 


He points well.

And loved all the advice he was dishing out to goody at quarter time. Such a leader.

Cant believe im going to say this, but McDonald looks finished. Lever has missed alot of football and it told today. Smith was shytehouse.

Can we afford to keep him. In three years time there will be no supporters left.

Two first round picks was overs. No one can argue that was a good trade at this point, even if he never got injured. 

Worrying that May looked shaky, Smith was absolute trash, and TMac is a witches hat. Our tall stocks are in the dumps!


Too many underdone players with not enough footy under their belts. Can do all the running in the world doesnt mean squat.

Bennell, Lever, Mcdonald, Jackson, Nev looks finished etc.

 

Not sure I'd be ridding us of Lever or Tmac just yet.

2020 premature expectation, I'd say.

Calm down, Moonie.  That's not the Demonland way.

Sorry, I forgot... the Land way is to sack everyone 2 mins after the game ends

Well I’m relieved. All that work in summer on fitness and ball movement really paid dividends. Clean, purposeful, kicking to advantage. Sigh. We looked quite a bit worse than we were last year w almost zero injuries .

Well about as many as we had at today’s game.

Someone had to take over the Jordan Lewis role.


Just now, Half forward flank said:

Maybe but Lewis was an experience four time medal winner.

Not to mention Ashley and Martin model, regular panelist, mate of Buddy , and umpire remonstrator. He made Mohamed  Ali looks like he had a few more fights left in him after the Holmes debacle.

Lewis would've dropped that chest mark with 1:50 to go and then fumbled it into a Carl turn over goal. So in that respect, Lever won us the game!

He ruined last season .Someone should have tapped him on the shoulder .Then knocked him out. Goodwin is responsible for that I suppose.

 

No, Joel Smith wasn't too bad at all.

Jackson was promising  Rivers was confident and aggressive and made good decisions. Benell most useful.

I'd play Fritsch one quarter at a time because he can't sustain his game - either first q to get us going or last q to add a bit of zest.

Melksham is a very good player, Petracca went well etc., etc.

Love him or hate him Neal-Bullen kicks goals. Regularly. Most poster put him down. I had $50 that he would kick 2 goals today!

I rate Smith. But he was flat out terrible today. 

Melk can be a good player. But more often than not isn't. Like today. And personally it is that type of player I hate the most. Talent but pick and choose when to use it, with a dose of infuriating arrogance thrown in, type of player.

Anb is exactly the opposite. Not the most talented but his level of effort and desire never drops. That is the sort of player I like.

Then you get a player like cripps who combine talent, consistency and work rate. The true stars. How many of these do we have? Realistically only gawn and tracc.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
