So much talent in our team but so little system. Doubts as to if Goodwin can coach must be growing.

There is hardly a player in this side that is playing his best football. That’s the coaches job and it’s not happening.

 
  • Demonland changed the title to POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong

Cats are so clean. 
 

If only we could find space and hit targets we’d be a half decent team. 


Reckon Salem could show some urgency? Sprint the 50 and kick the [censored] ball early!!

not wait for 30 seconds and kick to a 3-1

 

We played poorly.  Geelong just sweated on our mistakes, which we continuously made for them.  Even still, we had a kick to win it!  Some things to like, but our system especially forward was terrible.


Poorly selected. 
Poorly coached. 
No skill. 
Dumb. Don’t touch balls on goal line. Don’t put ball over the boundary. 
No game plan.

It’s frustrating out only goals come from player brilliance and not structure.  The boys looked confused inside 50, they don’t know where to run, where to stand, where to block etc.

this has been happening for two years now!.  

Salam is absolutely wasted down back, he should be a high forward or is leading up and delivering to the forwards.


Goodwin must go!

All I see in my head is Fritsch dropping a chest mark, 20m out dead in front, with no cats within 4M of him, in the first half.

We are mentally weak, dumb and still have no idea what to do when we go forward.


He has to go Goodwin, how can you justify that performance.

Let them chip their way through our [censored] weak grid for 4qtrs. Any other coach would have pressed them up to prevent this but not our mastermind.

Goodwin has to implement a way to goal sooner rather than later.

We lose the same way every time, which is an indictment on the coach.

Nicely entrenched in the bottom 4 where we clearly belong. 
 

Our coach is truly a disgrace. I was waiting to see the team selections in action and boy was I right in my suspicious. Jetta for Lockhart, a miss. Played Hannan and AVB and Fritsch and Melksham which just makes no sense. 

No second tall forward even tho both Weid and Jackson are fit. 
Back line is also a [censored] show. People can have a go at Omac all they like, but he can actually defend. Joel Smith gives us nothing. How many times were we mismatched down back because we didn’t go in tall enough? 
 

I am so disappointed with our game plan and selections. A fully fit list and this is the [censored] we put on the field. 

 

The whole footy world thinks we are a poor club.

I think we are over-rated.

 

The team we put on the park today was as good as we can expect all year. 

Yuk.

It would have been a travesty if we'd won that.  

Geelong just toyed with us and nearly stuffed it up, they couldn't have played worse and we still didn't look like it.

We have so little polish, it's never going to happen with this team.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
