If McDonald wasn't going to get dropped he certainly is after that effort 

 

Haha remember a few years back when Port were a joke, the Lions were getting smashed, and the Saints were just plain bad?

...and we were on the up and up.

Ah, memories.

 

McDonald. 

What a joke of a footballer.

Rebuild time. Rip that band aid off. 

 

This midfield reminds me of that time we had Moloney, McKenzie and Grimes as our starters.

What do you expect him to do?

He's got Fritsch on a wing, Viney in the forward line, TMac higher up the ground.

What do you want?

It's systemic change from him we need, not gameday flipping of magnets.

The players have been pathetic tonight. No guts, no desire, no run, ****house disposal, just an absolutely rubbish performance. I don't know what Goodwin could do? I'm not saying he's not part of the problem but when the players are as pathetic as they've been tonight I don't know what a coach is expected to do. Clarkson the supercoach couldn't do a thing to turn the tide against us a few weeks back. Sometimes it's not the coach.

The players need a massive rocket because this is just pathetic.

Georgiades went 6 picks after Pickett in last years draft... and they say talls usually take longer!

Jason Taylor thought he was getting him at 32. Joke.

Hibbo's tried. Langdon runs hard. Lockhart was good in the first half. The rest...? They've been utterly atrocious.

Goodwin has destroyed this team. 


McDonald is officially cooked which is sad. He looks like a big truck out there trying to keep up with everyone.

We can’t buy a free. 

True, but even if they gave us the free, and we had the ball, what would we do with it?

Probably plant it straight onto Westhoff's chest 30m out. Goal. Nah, not keen on that.

This is far more of a problem than gameday moves.

I get people are frustrated but there is so much rubbish in this thread. There's plenty wrong with the club but complaints about Lever (possibly our best), Pickett (7th game) and Goodwin not flipping magnets is ridiculous and doesn't address the real issues: turnovers, gameplan, lack of leadership, inability to play football unless we win CPs/clearances, lazy midfielders.

It would not. I’m all for cracking jokes about this club and this game but when someone you know is fighting for life from this virus, this [censored] pales in comparison. 

Most people don’t get sick at all with the virus.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
