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.

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
