Melksham and Hunt were very disappointing tonight. We desperately need a 2nd tall forward otherwise we cannot win the flag.

Edited by Jibroni

Out- Jackson, ANB, Hibberd

In- JVR, Chandler, who knows…

 

OUT: Sparrow, ANB, Hunt/Hibberd (flip a coin)
IN: Harmes, JVR, Bowey

Hibberd and ANB both should be put in a hole to never be seen again. Bring in Bedford and Harmes

Out: Melksham, Hunt

Picket looked hampered by the knee with strapping. Rest him if needed. Chin can have a run if this is the case.

He has all the attributes of a Cattle dog.

ANB gets 90% of his touches with immediate pressure incoming. He chooses to take the tackle and create a stoppage. I assume this is what the coaches drill into them, because he does it everytime and is always picked


Unchanged.

It's the Goodwin way.

In: Harmes

Out: Hunt 

In Harmes or JVR 

Out Melksham

We kick straight and win, don’t throw out all the toys yet.

Tackling in forward half needs to be more consistent week to week.

 

Honestly, without emotion.. who cares.. we look a straight sets final side. 


Genuinely still confused what Sparrow's role this year. Plays the bit role I'm guessing? For a midfielder, he barely has influence at all in games.

9 disposals tonight for 0 tackles.

Spot on. He was TERRIBLE.  Fumbled. Missed tackles. Handballs to no one. Terrible. 

I've really got no idea who to bring in but surely the coaches need to look at the forwards. It is not working. In the past I blamed the entries but we had plenty of good forward entries only for the forwards to go missing and hang out the back. Think we may have a few front runners here who are not as tough as they think.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
