I would drop Oliver for this game. Not even joking. He’d be out next week.

Yep. He needs to be on notice to wake up, and get real.

    Ultimately? Yes.

    His game plan allows super quick kicks to come into our defence.

    He picked Smith when he clearly isn't ready. 

    No, it was combination of errors forward of The ball, all good to blame the coach when Oliver gives a terrible ball

    Terrible kick from Oliver before but he's not the problem. The commentators on Fox and 7 have gunned for him all day. He's won a heap of contested possessions.

    Disagree. He’s been average at best. Disposals have been all over the place.

    Clarry.... easily one of the worst games ive seen from him sadly.

    B&F went to his head a little over the pre - season?

    Not just the best and fairest I suspect.?

    Think he was spent. He clearly wanted to turn this game around and was busting a nut in the last quarter. Was happy with his intent today to be honest. 

    Go home and play fortnite Clarry, instead of working on your craft.

    Bunch of deadbeats.

    Average? He has been a disgrace and we only started to look decent once we got him out of the midfield.

    This club just continues to bring misery to its members ... we continue to go backwards! Clearly Goodwin has a game plan which isn’t working & hate to say but we will witness another wasted list of players & another decade of nothingness!

    Clayton Oliver? Jack Viney? Jake Melksham? Jake Lever? Christian Salem? Tomlinson? Simon Goodwin? All auditioning for string quartet on the SS Titanic.

    It all statrs from the middle the bounce.

    If we start cleanly with composure, it rolls on.

    If we start with a panic ball that t rolls on.

     

    Oliver is starting us off in a panic.

    He shouldn’t be in the car. The conversation should be ABOUT him

    I’m angry.

    Angry that this drivel is served up week after week .

    Our recruiting and coaching philosophy is win the contested ball and the rest will happen.

    Well let me tell ya.

    It ain’t happening!

    Why is it Goodwin's fault when every player bar maybe Hibberd made a fundamental skill error that sometimes resulted in a goal to the opposition

    The first two hit outs of the last quarter were won by max Gawn. Viney bombs the first result in to a Richmond player. The second was also bombed in to a Richmond player. This coach has got to tell them to stop doing that.

    When is Oliver going to learn how to kick?

    Its his lack of movement.

    He will not run and move enough,  kicks off a step,  etc.  He's lazy.

    Get Clarkson. That’s what the $mill before Christmas ? needs to be

    Otherwise we continue to be nothing

    He wont be coming to coach this rabble SW.  But we certainly need to get our hands on a coach who can coach (Lyon?), along with a genuine KF (Cameron).

    It looks like he’s keen to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible like it’s a hot potato.

    I quite like Goody actually. I just hate his current gameplan. I pray he changes it.

    Exactly, and his direction of the ball s either low to feet, or high,  above the head.

    He's too cocky by half, and has stopped putting in his old physical work.  That hit on Selwood back in 2018 final,  where Bt and everyone said,  "boy oh boy, did you see that",..... nothing since from Oli.

    He is the one coaching them and it’s not getting any better .

    Ultimately it rests with him.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
