Goodwin

Is

A Fraud.

 

He looked like Norm Smith in the first quarter and a half before quickly becoming a combination of Mark Neeld and Peter Rohde.

    To sum up the shambles, the team belts the song out with gusto before skipper Max is even back in the rooms - first win as Captain.

    FMD. 
     

    it was like watching a bad movie after quarter time but with a good ending JUST. 

    Glad to see HB get through and Rivers looks like a cracker.

    Well .... I’ve got no idea what to make of that !!

    The better side lost Uncle! I have serious concerns for the mental fragility of this squad, well at least the leadership group.

    That nervous look that Goodwin was showing on the bench late in the game is uninspiring. Theirs absolutely no confidence, he looks like he’s just coaching to save his job.

    That was pathetic, we need at least an eight goal lead to be comfortable.

    The lack of composure in the front half still kills us, we stop when we should play-in and play-in when we should stop.

    Tom McDonald is cooked.

    Jake Melksham is cooked.

    Goodwin has no idea what he’s doing.

    Smith should never be in the back half again.

    ANB was very good.

    Hunt was very good.

    Rivers is an absolute beauty.

    Lever and May aren’t what we paid for.

    Once Carlton worked out Gawn we were done.

    Petraccca is a star.

    There are arguably only two teams worse than Carlton... GCS and St Kilda

    we almost managed to lose to Carlton... in fact we would have if they kicked straight.

    The selections were terrible. ANB's late inclusion saved us along with Hunt who I thought would never play seniors again.Where was our forward line.

    Weid deserved a game in front of Jackson. Smith is experimental at best.

    The only upside is that when I saw the team on Thursday I felt sure we would lose.

    Can we regroup... who knows

    Senior players let us down. Where was Melksham, McDonald, Lever, Jones???

    Veey poor performance.

    Trent Rivers was impressive and Bennell will only get better.

    What a disappointing win. I feel sick. The whole season 2020 should have been cancelled. Would have been better for my health. This whole year is write off anyway. Stress overload.

    Can't say I'm a fan of that. 

    Can't say i am a fan of them singing the song after that second half. Anyone with an ounce of leadership in that room would've put a stop to it.

    On today's showing there are three teams worse than Carlton.  Imagine what this would have turned into if Carlton turned up in the first 1.5 quarters.

    Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. 
    They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. 
    it’s going to be a long long year.

    I thought Fritsch was a beautiful kick?

    Hes another of our worries and there are plenty.

    Fritsch is a terrible set shot as I mentioned here during the COVID break.

    Has kicked 1.6 to start the season. 
     

    Really needs to work on his accuracy If he’s going to make it as a genuine player in this league.

    Melksham needs a rocket in him or else he’ll be kicking off the dew Hibberd.

    Another unsatisfying win.

    Melksham didn’t want to be there, I wouldn’t be upset if that’s the last we see of him.

    All of this and more

    I cannot believe our attitude - 40 odd up and just stopped? 

    We should have lost this. Cripps, Walsh all made errors and that's that.

    Still I’d rather learn from a bad win than a narrow loss.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
