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: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
