Bartlett said we wouldn’t stand for it, but we’ve seen an even worse performance only 4 or 5 weeks later. That’s Goodwin done unless he can somehow make finals from here.

Expected to win. Cruised through town on game day. Satisfied with the loss. Very Melbourne-like

Watch the rest of the season fall away meekly now. In fact, no - watch us get up and beat Freo, scrape past GWS and lose to the Bombers. Repeat ad nauseum.

I really have no explanation for these performances. We will most likely miss finals now, and deservedly so. Big problem for the club is: how do you sell hope for next year on the back of that crap?

Insipid and mentally weak. It's one thing to lose, but the lack of intensity they showed all through the first half was inexcusable. 

We need to break the cycle some day. Win a few games, get ahead of ourselves, slack off, get exposed, get pilloried, play with intent again, win a few games, get ahead of ourselves...

Absolutely pathetic performance. My mind hasn’t changed on Goodwin one bit. 

He was a genius on here last week, and McDonald was a good footballer.

I need a really high mountain to scream from the top how wrong both these thoughts are.

[censored] performance.  Mostly a [censored] team.

But we cant get rid of them so lets just get rid of our coach. Please.  Gooodwin supporters on here you need to extract your heads out your arses.

Don’t tease GCDee

How can you lose to a team who is tanking?

If we were to do that and miss finals by losing in the last round, that WOULD be classic Melbourne.

So, watch it happen.

Miraculously if the Blues beat GWS we are still in the 8

Sour tasting dinner now, and who’s hurting??? Us again FFS.....how many times can you shake your head before it falls off?

Certainly puts you off your appetite doesn't it

Trust a word the mfc cannot understand the meaning of, but the rest of the footy world  already knows what the mfc stands for..  what excuse will Goody come up with?? Destiny in their hands & they blow it once again! Whilst your there mfc look up the words leadership & culture or refer to clubs like Cats who show what they were made of vs the dogs last week

In one word    BOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone has to cop it for that.

Players refused to dig deep and do the hard things. You could see from the very start they were hesitant in going into contests, refused to tackle, refused to run without the ball. A current assistant coach at another club messaged one of my mates "these players just have no ticker".

Goodwin had no answers yet again. It's hard to see improvements he's made in his time as senior coach. Most of the 'improvement' has come from a better list. So many of the same problems with no answers year after year. It's also hard to see how we motivates the players. The corporate speak and monotony doesn't seem to be working.

Stafford. Firstly, goal kicking is very very poor. Clearly not working. Secondly, our ruck work seems to have gone backwards to the point where it's rare that our rucks hit it anywhere near one of our own players.

Richardson. What has he brought exactly? Neither here nor there with him tbh, but I've seen nothing different from a coaching perspective.

Don't want to go too overboard after one game, but this is too much of a recurring theme now, these things happen far too often.

Staggered if people keep believing that 'Goody has the players' after seeing this kind of thing over and over.

Why would we want to be in the eight? We’d be thrown out in the first final!!

Embarrassing and indefensible.

No further comment.

Yep. That will do me.

So Melbourne.

We were all expecting the usual result.

I only hope Goodie and HIS line coaches takes full responsibility.

And in presso, please don't scratch your left leg. It's disturbing!

It might be congenital dermatitis - or some relief measure.

@Gunna’s I think Sydney have been there since Monday.

Whats with this? We get a 7am flight and they have been encamped there since Monday? And which of the two teams was looking at finals??

Seriously.....do we even think of this stuff. Friggin over it. Dont even give ourselves half a chance.

Goodwin will coach out his contract. At least.

Too few changes off a short break again. Goodwin is not very bright. Groundhog Day. 

How is this team under this guidance going to improve next year?

The slightest bit of moisture on the deck and we go to water.

Weak [censored] bunch of [censored] suckers the lot of them.

By helping the team you hold the pick of tank instead by letting teams below them win

Yep, still Melbourne 

Need a goal kicking coach.

I think Sydney went to North Qld after the Adelaide game as Papley said they trained Tuesday on Gazaly field,  when Interviewed. 

Wow, what happened, no structures, no talk, no endeavour.

Prime players missing easy goals (Jones, Petracca,  Langdon).

Forward line non-existent.

Fell from Sydney playing in there back half.

Goodwin's changes too late.

Why Omac up front, why not Smith.

 

Never has a club deserved the reputation they have and we will never ever be able to change teh minds of anyone because this happens so often. I thought Goodwin and his team coached well last week. I though their selections this week were a bit strange but didn't hate them, and i dont think 1 player that went out would have made a difference.

I have real feelings of hate for this club at the moment. How do they spin this. Goodwin sat like a stunned mullett in the coaches box.. gosh im filthy again a this club. 

Well that was [censored]
