Basically that we have gone nowhere over the last 3 years and that our coaching team is now almost dysfunctional with Yze and Williams in the wing. Bartlett wasn't spared either. Inability to sign Oliver etc

Nothing that most of us haven't been saying for a year or two... bottom line Goodwin disappoints

Fair enough that we haven't done anything for 2 years, but how the hell could they say out coaching group is dysfunctional when we haven't even played a game yet?!

 

Great to see the passion on  here, win or lose it will go off after the game. Win I hope!

Yze and Williams are a message for Goodwin... In that sense the group is not cohesive

No CEO would put up with it which shows how tenuous Goodwin's position is.

Anyway as you say early days and he may surprise

I still can’t work out why they didn’t change our game to a 1.10pm start and play the other game here this evening? Would have allowed plenty of time in between to quick clean/prep

MCC has very strict and firm ground management guidelines i believe. two games in one day can impact turf quality.

Cant play Jetta and Jones in the same team together but I prefer Jetta to Jones. Jones offers nothing other than being a witches hat to shuffle around and cannot play out a full game. He will be subbed out or will keep the bench warm for the last quarter. It’s astounding that he still gets a game when he should have retired gracefully two seasons ago. 

Kade Chandler named sub!

 

Disappointing crowd so far, where are all the Dees supporters??? Only expecting 24,000 today, I would have thought a lot more.

Jones still offers offensive ball use and drive.

I'm harsh here but Jetts actually offers nothing anything. Incredibly slow, and lose one on one contests far too easily.

Actually gobsmacked Jetta is playing today.

Was just thinking that, 25mins before the bounce and there seems to be only about 5k here now!

They might be a message but no CEO would get them in if they were going to make the group dysfunctional. They were brought in to give the team the tools they need. If it then goes pear shaped, well fair enough. But it would make no sense to bring them in to mess up the coaches group or else they might as well have sacked Goodwin last year

For Jetta or Jones?

I'm disappointed Lockhart is injured. He'd be playing today instead of Jetta.

Better than the ghastly empty stands with fake  crowd noise.  Be grateful!

I’m assuming there’s going to be a mass arrival of supporters in the next 20 minutes as there’d be lucky to be 10,000 people at 1:25pm.

I used the term CEO in the business sense. Goodwin is the CEO of football and therefore the most powerful person int he club. 

Pert is an administrator

Strange beasts..footy clubs

Dermie also having a crack at Max on Fox. Saying he doesn’t instil any fear into the opposition.

  • 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.
