At what point does the blow torch go onto Goodwin. Something has to change quickly before we waste the most talented list in the AFL.

This is a myth. We aren’t the most talented list in the AFL anymore. We have 2 genuine forwards - Fritsch and Pickett. Everyone else forward of the ball is very young or NQR. 90% or our list has stayed the same or gone backwards in the last year.

We are a 6-8 side. We haven’t innovated enough with our game plan, and have given sides far too much of a look at what we do, without enough variety. It sucks to admit, but it’s now pretty evident.

    Some more scattered thoughts: We missed Lachie Hunter, Clarry in a wheelchair would be better than Harmes, Langdon has gone to pox since the haircut, Salem and Lever haven't gotten near 2021 form since then, TMac is cooked, and Gawndy hasn't really worked IMO (although it hasn't been terrible either).

    We’re wasting a premiership quality list again this year. Unfortunately it looks like the end is coming quickly for some of our senior players, Gawn included :(

    This year is turning into the most disappointing I can remember, and that’s because we should be right amongst it but instead lose on repeat to any decent teams. Our record against top 8 teams speaks for itself. Our gameplan this year doesn’t cut it. What a [censored] waste

    We are not a quick side at all, we are starting to drop easy marks, we are easily bypassed, we are just to easy to play against.

    Our Forward line is a mess, our stoppage work is third world.

    We are in a world of hurt.

    Goodwin need to take a leaf out of his opposition coach’s book, admit to being stubborn and shake things up. Longmuir was accused of coaching fake footy and he took the advice on board and completely shifted his team’s ball movement. 

    I don’t think it’s possible for Goodwin because I have never seen him make wholesale changes mid season. Didn’t happen in 2019, didn’t happen in 2022 and it ain’t happening in 2023.

    Smart coaching by freo. They new Oliver out was big and they totally tagged out viney to 2 touches for a half.

    Tmac is cooked.

    Jvrs too young.

    Chandler too.

    Lever is not someone I recognise.

    Langdon , May and Anb the same.

    Spargo over rated.

    Max seems to have lost his mojo.

    No flag for us. I'm dreading when we play the Pies.

    How did he go at Casey? 1 goal only.  

    Maybe happier if we don’t.  September holiday. 

    Who cares? JVR only contributed 1 goal. Not good enough for a key forward. Time for change.

    Glaring clearance issues continue yet 2 top rucks …. Something is clearly wrong as King said if it’s culture  it’s on the leaders & Goody … the window is now shut & cant see opening

    It was a good contest but I'm worried about our inabiliry to put them away. They seemed to be running on never ending energy. We seemed stuff.

    Unless we get momentum early and pummel teams, we just don't do well in tight contests.

    Would love to know Goodwin's coaching record W:L for under 10 points. We just never look like winning these games.

    Some dude was just chanting "Freo" and someone yelled out to go home to which he replied "I am home, I live in Fitzroy" to anyone that wanted to listen. 

    Ie. Why are there so many Freo fans here?

    One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough: Lever has been [censored] rubbish this season. 

    Yes, but he’s playing out of position. He’s an interceptor, not a second kpd or 1 on 1.

    Is this list all that? We were average post round 10 last year and we’ve been average this season. Maybe we’re just an average list.

    Such an uninspiring team and coaching staff, everyone is down on form, backline couldn’t catch a cold (lever WTF!), just continue to bomb into the forward 50, never lower you eyes. Such a waste of talent in this team

    But don't worry cos Jvr will crash the pack.

    Why didn’t we put Kosi into the middle in the last? We were getting mauled in there time and time again. 
    The game was all but lost so try something!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
