Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 The final score flattered us and once again is masking the true awful picture. They had 3 down in the last quarter and still ran circles around us. Our skills are atrocious. We have no urgency at all. We have no idea what to do with the footy. No forward targets. Another horrible day in the office for the guys in the box. Bad selection going in. Bad game plan. 5 Quote

Purple77 1,025 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 The lack of progress is very disheartening. Seeing the dysfunctioning forward line for 26 games in a row, with no visible change in methodology, makes for a defeated outlook. 3 Quote

Demongirl35 1,138 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Ugly and embarrassing. melks had a player running to his right, tries to get around man on the mark and gets tackled. Brain fade. Tomlinson backed out of how many contests. Chipped it inside 50 to someone with players right on his [censored]. Might as well boot it closer to goal. May kicks it to a player with 3 tigers on him in the middle of the ground. a lot of these things you can’t coach but you know what you can do as a coach? Not put up with that and have that type of player in your team. Discuss those things with that player and make them earn a spot. goodwin changing absolutely nothing. I never see him on the phone. Hardwick was going nuts in the box at one stage. Good! He expects more!!! smith wtf??? I just can’t. But hey, goody will keep him in for the rest of the year. Why not! It’s the goody way. tmac was our second forward option in 2018 and had the second best defender hence why he was fantastic. Either put him down back, bring a big tall in or p**s him off. I just can’t deal 10 1 Quote

jnrmac 20,385 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Sugar coat that one biatches VDB done Smith never to be seen again. Cost us at least 5 goals Lever - what a mistake Oliver - overated lair that can't kick or handball Brayshaw - turnover merchant who goes missing Viney - courageous but limited footballer who excels at hitting up opposition players TMac - Is it possible he is worse than his brother? Half way through the 3rd qtr there were 9 Melbourne players with 3 disposals or less. Hibberd best game in 2 years Trac hold your head up. 11 1 Quote

Demon3 2,541 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 The lack of change from teh coaches box was so stark today.. i cant defend it anymore.. what has changed in 18 months.. nothing and players are now regressing.. Oliver, brayshay, tom Mc, Lever is teh biggest bust in our recent footy history. Joel Smith selection and positioning in teh back line is mind blowing. What change did Goodwin make in play today.. did Hunt get a run on teh ball? did Melksham move from the 50m arc, why not put smith fwd, give picket a run on teh ball.. its was a disgrace and im almostr done with this club. Im so angry. the club set itself up for a sustrained period of success and something has turned horribly wrong and it starts in teh coaches box.. the p[layers love Goody apparently thats great, but he cant coach.

drdrake 3,203 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 That Oliver turnover just summed up the game. We lose games by turnovers, i say this every week all our opponents need to do is sit across our half forward and we will kick it to you. We dont have the foot skills to play a 4 or 5 man forward line 4 Quote

Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Forget sending the team to the hub. Lock them down in the housing commission towers so they can get a taste of real life. They are living in fantasy land if they thought they played an AFL standard game. 10 1 Quote

Maldonboy38 6,436 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Not sure where we go from here. Board has endorsed Goodwin for the foreseeable future. Our best players should be making up an elite midfield, but there basic skills are untrustworthy. Our new skipper is busting his gut but see very little leadership from anywhere else. Our recruiting of Lever, Tomlinson and Langdon - which looked to be such good planning and team building - is looking like the worst trade/recruit waste in a long time. Little development of younger players. The messages from the Footy department and coaches gives the supporters nothing - no hope, no energy, no new thinking. We are stuck. The way out could be long and painful... again. 4 Quote
Leoncelli_36 2,264 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Guys on the chopping block: Smith Tomlinson Lockhart Melksham Hunt and Oliver. We need to play Harmes in the middle, as evidenced in the last quarter. We must add a KPF next week. I am not sure Kozzie is ready. He will be a star and the chase down tackle was his highlight. He has not hit the scoreboard enough. we lack scoring power and I’d try Bennell as a forward, at the expense of hunt or Melksham 4 1 Quote
