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.

You can't tell me you haven't missed this feeling.  Only one club can make you feel like [censored] when you win, and it's us. Hope everyone here is going well.  Isn't it good to be back??

I can never sit down and enjoy watching my club.  I said to my wife after the first quarter watch them collapse now!  Hollow feeling, no confidence nor trust again.

As many have said it was horrible from halfway through the second quarter until the end. It's a rare game where you lead all day and are never headed but arguably deserved to lose. Really disappointin

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.

Did they just sing the song without the captain?

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.

Only Carlton's inaccuracy saved @#X!$%?*'s head from the chopping block!

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. 

Now we have to arrange how 5 people are going to sleep, in a one bedroom apartment

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
