Pathetic football team , so much talent completely wasted.

Is it the coaching?

Somebody  please tell me why we are so useless 

Skill level.   

Decision making.

Uninspiring and clueless Coach.

Oliver had a lone Petracca to kick to. Elects to do some other rubbish. He lacks brains. 

Oliver lacks composure.

He would be the very first player i would stop taking caffeine tablets;  because he doesn't need over stimulation.

He needs to slow his reactions a bit so he has time to think, to look first.

Did his mum never teach him to look first, before crossing the road.

All the emotive rubbish as usual, Richmond are forcing us into fundamental errors, it's the players not the coach

For the love of god what is the coaches job if not to ensure we can play under pressure? Or use the footy? Or have a forward to kick to? 
What is Goodwins job mate?

    Oliver’s disposal hasn’t always been great, but sometimes it has and  he’s at least getting a lot of the ball. 
     

    our problem is, we only have one big sized forward – McDonald – and he is out of form. They need to start playing a second tall forward!!


    On paper we should be at least a top 8 side, but we are bottom 4 in the coaches box, time for the heat to go on goody, I’m just about done with this weak as [censored] organisation 

    Cotchin during half time interview: "I'm sure that Melbourne will look at a few things"

    I can almost guarantee that won't happen.

    Well the players aren’t responsible for not selecting another key forward, to give us at least a chance of taking a contested mark inside 50. That is a joke.

    And they rough bailey f. up on the siren and no one sticks up for him. How about a bit of pride?

     

     Goodwin is done. We have talent but no game plan. 


    we are the turnover kings.......pathetic decision making

    time for a(nother) re-build

    fritsch just got belted and NOT ONE PLAYER remonstrated with richmond - we are pathetic and have no team spirit

    Yep. Was very noticeable and shows where our team is at. No comradery and cliques formed again. We’re dangerously close to hitting Neeld era levels.

    True mate, it’s Richmond forcing Viney to handball to Harmes or Oliver to Gawn or Kozzie to the boundary line etc etc etc

    Only rubbish here is that post you did.

    Goodwin needs to go, is not an AFL coach?

    And then what? Richo takes over. Why doesn’t he give some advice NOW to help???

    Why did we get Brown if we won’t play him? Why didn’t we trade Weid when his currency was super high post finals if we won’t play him?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
