Richmond are just taking the [censored] now. We were a bottom four team all of last year and we have potentially gone backward.

We’re handing North Melbourne pick 1 at the end of the year. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

    None if the commentators rate Oliver do they?

    The same troll who said Neitz, Schwarz, Lyon wouldn’t make it in today’s game 

    Brett Ratten has turned the Saints into a much better team over an offseason , Goodwin is in his 4 season and  he has run this team of , on the whole better players than the Saints into rabble of a team , Goodwin must go

    Our decision making is just comically bad. We just have no idea how to compete under pressure. NONE!

    Understatement.  We needed that 

    I'm not angry now.

    Just said watching what Goodwin has done to this team that was a game off a grand final in 2018.

    Our players just look completely shot.

    This is on you Goodwin.

    We are on par with Sydney, Adelaide, Freo, Carlton, North Melbourne and who ever else that is [censored].

    We're like a ball boy, we just keep give the ball back everytime.

    They'd all smoke us mate.

    Don’t blame them. He’s a stat accumulator with poor disposal and doesn’t impact games. Going backwards.

    Yay another goal drought broken. Next week the training wheels come off!

    Not sure how Goodwin keeps his job ... we have a healthy list & yet zero improvement over 2019, same poor turnovers, no marking forwards.

    No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

    Play on at all costs game just doesn’t suit an unskilled team. 

    neither does 'chip it around'.

    I've never seen a team this poorly skilled across the board.

    All our entries are to the pockets every time, how can you expect to win a game of football like that.

     

    Making Gawn captain over Viney has destroyed him

    I'll write Goodwin's press conference now:

    They surprised us with their intensity

    They didn't allow us to play our brand

    They are reigning premier, but we expected them to bounce back

    We had trouble connecting with our fwds

    Our mids got a lot of the ball but they were under pressure

    Smith is starting to string some games together

    The tigers ran the ball out of our defence really well

    Our fwds had trouble holding the ball in there 

    We'll take some learnings from this game and you'll see a different side next week. 

    We've got a few things to work on. I mean we spent 6mnths training how we want to play but we're far king useless and have run out of ideas

     

    He won't say the last one but he should

    Exact.  This is spot on.

    The Coach will not change. I don’t think he has any idea how too

    He can’t stay in charge for much longer....

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
