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.

 

Play him forward Goodwin has NO idea!

    It's seriously concerning that we couldn't wrestle back the momentum at any point. The signs were there in the second quarter and we just didn't respond. 1.2 in the second half in an indictment. A hollow victory.

    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]. 

    Well Lyon is in an awkward position.  But I don't think I've ever heard such biased commentating from all of them.  Fair enough to barrack for a comeback (even against a poor team like us), but not once did they discuss what Melb could/should do or even hang on.  Just how many Carlton supporters are there that they need to suck up to?

    It was if we substituted an new team and totally different game plan after the first quarter. Far too many players had little or no effect. The first quarter gave us hope that we were back as a team, then the second and subsequent quarters reaffirmed that no the dees were back to their 2019 form. Does not give me confidence that we are going to have a good year

    Sorry but I don’t think we lost anything in Frosty going, thought he played well last night but very up and down. 
    not the difference in us going forward.

    and not for the hawks either !

    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.

     

    Absolutely, fully agree.

    It’s a good thing those waiting for Tom McDonald to come good aren’t holding their breath.

    A Fraud.

     

    That was disgusting on par with the Gold Coast game last year

    But I fail to see how it's on Goodwin? The players came out with intensity and pressure in the first quarter then slacked off thinking the job was done. That's on the players not Goodwin. This had been going on for decades, doesn't matter which coach we have.

    Disappointed in McDonald... he gave us very little. Disappointed in Smith he made several poor decisions to fly without influencing the outcome. Disappointed in Fritsch conversion. Very happy with Rivers... a real draft find! Petracca the difference. Hunt and ANB justified selection. Very Happy that Harley got through game. Max was solid. Clayton was good. 

    We need a key forward that can mark the ball.

    Of course we didn't lost anything in Frosty going.  Anyone with sense can see that.

    Why in the heck was Jetta playing on McGovern???

    totally undersized down back and matchups all over the place, someone take control!

    And to see Goodwin laughing and smiling after the game made my blood boil. 
    harden up Melbourne FFS!

    So how did our 3 key backs go tonight?

  • Quote

    I was amazed how well the first quarter went and then Carlton came to play and made it a contest.

    I don't like our structure and it showed today that we don't have a leadings tall forward and Fritsch is not a key position player. The Carlton talls started to dominate as the game progressed cos they don't get shorter. Seriously at one stage Nev was minding McKay.  At the other end we continually got out marked in the contest by Weitering and co and then the run off half back to a leading tall forward made us look  ordinary.

    There were a lot of skill errors and Smith has to learn NOT to fly for everything down back. Rivers was a revelation and I love his run and balance. We cannot expect Jackson to be a marking target up forward and T Mac os the only tall key forward looked out of sorts and chasing tail. At one stage Hunt was playing full forward.

    The positives are Max was dominant and in a good contest with Pittonet. Trac was everything we had hope he would be, strong clean and polished. Rivers was impressive, Bennel showed poise and class on limited minutes, Clarry is still a ball magnet and the wingmen in Langdon and Tomlinson show what was desperately missing from last years midfield.

    A very ugly, heart attack inducing win

    So what you're telling me is, because our backs didn't click today, we need to get Frost back?

    Righto.

    If we happen to fluke a couple more wins in this manner again. 
    Then we will think Goodwin can coach. 
    and justify him going on in 2021. 
    at this stage I blooody well hope not!

    think we need Yze    ASAP

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
