I love how last year our flag was built off the coaching of our assistant coaches and now when we don't win it, it's all Goodwin's fault.

Exactly!!!! Some supporters just have it in for Goodwin

    Have no idea what will happen with Jake Melksham from a contract point of view.

    But Corowa Rutherglen Football Club have pretty much a senior coaching role for him to walk into if he is delisted.

    Brother Darcy plays senior footy here for the Roos and his dad Dave is a development coach.

    Are you from up that way DD, good mate of mine comes from Corowa, his mum still lives up there

    But in their defence, when he eventually leaves the club they can say they were right all along and he wasn’t the right guy🤣🤣🤣

    Albury mate. Grew up around the area so know Corowa inside out.

    Missus family are big part of the Corowa Footy Club and have been for many years.

    It's certainly a collective as a whole I agree and I have mentioned them as a group together.

    Yze and his mids were poor during the finals series. The connection between Gawn and the mids was completely out of wack as it had been in certain parts of the year. We had two best ruck combo in the game and we got beaten around clearances far too easy for my liking.

    I think Stafford will be under pressure the most to keep his job. Line coach of a pretty dysfunctional forward line wouldn't exactly look good on his record

    I think Goodwin will reflect back on this year and know deep down if he had his time again he would have done things different.

    We know he's a good coach as much as he's frustrated the hell out of me. He'll learn from it.

    Said during the week that regardless what happens this finals series I'm genuinely excited we can do some serious damage next year.

    If I could have my pick for 1 assistant coach, it’s Don Pyke.

    What he does with speed of ball movement would be sensational for us

    Glad he has a serious gf who hopefully loves living in Melb and would never consider moving interstate.

    How does too much speed of ball movement gel with the defensive back 7 though? That's the balancing act.

    I think it's giving licence to a certain few (as per my recent post in the game plan thread) and allowing some flexibility with the ebb and flow the game to take the game on more with the corridor.

    Yep but as I said in other posts, the change has started but we’re not consistent with it and when we’re under pressure we go back to what we know.

    The footage is there from round 15 onwards and it was evident in the first quarter last night

    Have a look at Sydney he’s the architect of their ball movement, he had the Crows playing fast high tempo footy off rebound and I saw him at WAFL level do the exact same with the teams he coached

    Yep, first 15 minutes was daring and had we kicked straight in that time we'd have been 6 or 7 goals up and it'd have been game over.

    We reverted to safer ball movement and they got on top of us in the second half of that first quarter.

    Yep part of it it is also the players having faith in the system and it being second nature

    Our whole game style is playing not to lose. It’s a defeatists attitude that needs to change over summer.

    He's contracted, no way we let him walk. Also Adelaide and Port are allegedly going to get Rankin and Dunkley respectively which will cost first rounders minimum, so they will have bugger all trade capital to make anything appealing to us. Next year is when we worry.

    Has to do with the Crows getting Dees 2022 1st round and then traded to Swans for Jordan Dawson deal.  Wish we had Dawson.  Nonetheless JVR was worth the trade and hoping he’s another JT success.

    Not only sacked him as coach but would have desisted him as a forward as well.

    Any reason why we are not in the frame for Griffin Logue? and/or Lloyd Meek? Or is it a matter of Preferring Grundy on the same 700k bucks + taking a 1st into the draft?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
