Anyone got a positive?

I think I'm going to get some long overdue sympathetic action from the missus tonight. I hope I go better than my team.

    This might be the loss that finally nails Goodys coffin

    You would pharking hope so.

    How much can a supporter base take.

    Are there any clauses in the final 2 years of Goody's contract?

    They couldn't be that dumb could they?

    Media can smell blood in the water. Just put up a graphic of Goodwin’s record since the 2018 prelim during his presser. 12 wins. 25 losses.

    Rivers should return to WA as soon as he can. Don’t waste your career at the rabble kid. 

    Look for the Power Clubs to come calling on more players  than Rivers after this season. petracca for one. The dream is over.

    List quality is different.. not maximising list quality is career suicide 

    Depends where you think the list quality is at I guess!

    We can agree to disagree. My estimate pre-season was that we'd finish between 6th - 12th (and I think most judges thought that).

    Why does, whoever the opposing team is, clear the ball from our F50 so easily,  then spread to our unmanned wing delivering it into their f50 with a series of uncontested marks. The Dees conversely struggle to clear if from our d50, kicking it to a contest on the congested wing usually losing possession. If we win the ball, we expend maximum energy doing so. 
    Just seems an obvious flawed strategy. Can someone explain please?

    Couch discussion was so good, and like him or not Lyon nailed everything about the club and the side. 

     

    I wasn’t watching but I’m just laughing about the fact that people were upset that Lyon wasn’t more positive after we beat North Melbourne I think it was a few weeks ago.

    Goodwin has lost me. Bartlett must act now. We can't have another year or 2 of these gutless, heartless performance. Outcoached two weeks in a row when our season was on the line. [censored]

    Did they not look at a forecast before playing Preuss?

    The players can take some blame too. Mentally fragile.

    I'm sick of Goody mentioning the 'tough conditions' - they're the SAME BLOODY conditions that Freo played in!

    14 Melbourne players with 7 or less kicks

    206 to 98 uncontested possessions to Freo

    74 to 32 marks to freo

     

    Embarrassing, inept, disgusting, putrid

     

    Goodwin's last game

    We are one game closer to Goodwin getting the sack. I got nothing else.

    Agree with almost every criticism here but I have one more to add. We have one of the best taggers in the comp James Harmes, who has wasted away at half back every game without tagging once this year. The week he comes out injured we decide that tagging is actually a viable tactic, and throw a ball using half forward onto one of the biggest and best contested mids in the game. Fyfe 22 touches and 7 clearances. Melksham 9 touches and 2 clearances. Beyond a joke at this point.

    If you go to the third quarter with about 4.30 left on the clock, you can watch Melksham tag his own team mate by grabbing AVBs guernsey as he's trying to bust clear of a pack at half forward.

    Melksham has been woeful this year but never gets dropped.

    Truth Doesn't fit the narrative sometimes.

    This presser is giving us absolutely nothing information wise. Platitudes like we need to be ruthless. We need to play better footy. We need to get better at all phases of the game. What an utter waste of time. Treat the supporters with respect.

    Goody

    Freo were better than us

    have to rely on other results - wtf

    we need to get more ruthless - sack himself

    where in it together

    good we have experience of nearly being in finals

    where not quite there - please

    we were boring but intensity ramped up after half time

    disappointing - understatement

    two game to go simple be better

    focus on what we can control

    prepare as best we can. Bingo where going to work incredibly hard

    Lyon cut him asunder about being ruthless. Stop talking DO

    Lyon no answers well done Gary

    Why the [censored] risk Jackson?? Put him in cotton wool for [censored] sake

    Goodwin coaching to save himself it's the reason he swung the axe and brought in guys like Baker and Bedford. His press conference was all about deflection talking about the broader club. He must know he's on his last legs.

    I have to say that I’ve always thought Lyon is constantly negative, but he has been proven right. Unfortunately 2018 was the aberration - we are nowhere near it - and, as he says, not playing as a team.

    Nothing like winning your old clubs first flag since 1964 to get the appetite going...

    • 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.
