I would really like Goodwin to get as upset as I was in that second half. 
he shows stuff all interest in a winning result, 

that second half was 2019 all over again bar the last minute or so. 
I will have no hair if this happens again

Pathetic smile on his face at the end.  Could you imagine Roos doing that?

I didn’t get to see the game today. Do I bother watching a replay?

Haha watch the first quarter and stop. You would think we are a chance for top 4.

Watch the rest, you would think we are a chance for the spoon.

[rufus 1,162]

We are an ordinary football team and and ordinary football club. Once again, the people in a position to actually do something about raising the intensity when the opposition does the same (i.e. the players out on the ground) failed miserably.

I can't even be bothered looking but I'd love to know how many times this group has failed to kick a goal in the last quarter over the last few years. They just don't like the heat.

We look like sending North Melbourne a pick between 1 and 4 for Pickett which is great.

[Demonstone 22,815]

Only half a game off top spot!  Go Demons!

Our forward line is an absolute shambolic .  What use to be one of our great strengths has now been gutted and turned to [censored].

and the only one who gets it is too nervous to kick straight..

[GCDee 3,199]

Stopped watching midway through the third. Could see where the game was heading happy to see we somehow won. 

I cannot remember a team that can look like a top 4 team then a bottom two team in the space of a quarter. 

Gary Lyon is also impossible to listen to, the constant negative comments about Melbourne (even when we were flying) is just so draining 

 

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

Surprised there hasn't been more of a mention of our inability to keep the ball inside our forward half.  Who can remember us having repeat inside 50s after the first qtr and a bit?

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

I got used to no footy during lockdown. I kind of missed it, but it wasn't like I was chomping at the bit to see us back because the game against the Eagles was a painful reminder that we learnt nothing in the off-season and Goody clearly doesn't know what he's doing. 

And here we are. Footy is back. My team just won and I'm sadder than I have been in the last 3 months because it's painfully obvious that we are a very, very average team. 

I guess what I'm saying is that during lockdown my team was terrible but at least I couldn't see them be terrible and I could pretend they aren't, or at least it didn't matter (i.e. there are bigger things than footy etc.)

Sigh, tough times.

I need a drink.

I was rapt that we teased Carlton into thinking they were a chance.  Result never in doubt!

Thank you for the much-needed laugh.

[Watts the matter 1,235]

One positive, Bennell played only 50 mins for 14 touches and showed his class and clean hands.

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.

 

Could have been worse Clint we could have lost.

Reckon I know at least one that's very happy. Doing laps of the living room on his scooter as we speak.

Garry is spot on though.  He's sick of it like we all are.  What good does sugar coating it do?

[Pipefitter 2,168]

I’ve got no idea what goodwins obsession with Smith is. He isn’t a footy player. May and lever were shocking. Mcdonald didn’t half a contest.

 

[rolling fog 1,208]

Hate to keep harping on it, but I cannot believe they sung the song without Max, especially as his first win as captain.

We're a team of individuals.

I have to say that I would have liked to have Omac in defence today. when we were winning the middle we had no problems but when that turned around we were in troble.

Had OMac played, we would have lost the game by half-time. Notice Jones' long bomb - taken off the field. It was useless and set up another Carlscum goal. TMac - as a static forward - ain't the answer, once again. We need him in his original position at CHB. As for poor JSmith, pop him in the forward line where he is free to roam. Rivers was impressive and Jackson, once settled, came on rather well. Bennell - a good, injury-free run using the ball well with teammates. Still sense some absolute stardom from him. 

Nice to win, great start, team wore out rather quickly. Hunt is valuable.

[Brownie 5,986]

We are not right in the head.

What do you mean a chance ?

Sorry but putting down a team when they are 7 goals up for the sake of it and constantly running with it is not commentating. He is a grade A [censored]. 

[picket fence 17,498]

Bottom 4 team, similar to Carltank. the coach is shizen and many of the players just take the foot of the gas too easily

42 up and win by a point Parrrrrk Me.

Can we trade both Mc Donald boys of to Gold Coast for a future Round 4 Pick!??

Gee I'm angry What have we actually learnt??

Shocking Win!!

Ask yourself this how many "Power' Sides would let opposition back into the game

Goodwins time is up! Get Ross Lyon In!!

[buck_nekkid 6,046]

It is so hard being a MFC supporter....

We showed the rest of the competition how to beat us.  Close check on Trac and Oliver, keep hitting Max hard.  Apply even a fraction of pressure - we are weak as stale urine.

Of the newbies, Bennell did OK but not a game breaker - 6/10

Jackson - will be better for the run 4/10

Rivers - looked very good on debut 8/10

I would expect plenty of changes for next week.  If we play that same squad, we are in trouble.  Too many poor performances after 1/4 time.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,966]

Let’s be honest, opposition players are chatting away and laughing with each other. It’s nothing more than a longer pre-season competition. Happy to have a win but meh. 

[Half forward flank 1,022]

I shuddered when I saw Neil- Bullens second goal celebrations.
