I didn't see (and won't be seeing...) the game.

I'm interested to see if those who did saw any place for a Dee.

Goodwin's voting is eloquent.

certainly no Demons deserved a vote

even if double the votes were given out

I wouldn't have given any Dee a vote

I probably would have give the 5 to Waterman; he was immense and a great comeback story.  A lot of Fraser Gehrig about him.

Reid is something else!  Probably worth the 3 first rounders we could have offered and even the 2 and 3 Nth wouldn’t cough up.
Only injury can stop him imho.

Agreed, at least Goody didn't go down the Chris Scott route

p.s. Simpson's, too....

They are an accurate reflection of the game.  Wouldn't have had a Demon anywhere near the top 6 or 7 players on the ground.

Absolutely not.

ANB, Chin and Kosi were OK, as was Salem in his first game back post hammy.

The rest had games they would want to erase from memory.

If Steven May has not punched a large hole in a wall post game I'd be surprised.

First match since Round 9 2020 where no Melbourne player polled any coaches votes.

Bringing the horror stats this week wheelo.

Agree with those votes. West Coast have some top shelf players who played incredibly well on the day and our players were way off. I do find it a bit weird that Reid and Waterman can play like deadset the best 2 players in the competition, Darling, Kelly and McGovern can wind back the clock and Liam Ryan can rediscover his mojo ALL ON THE SAME NIGHT that Gawn, May, Petracca and co suddenly look like suburban footballers. That's footy I guess, and why "8 goal win minimum" style comments in the pregame threads rarely age well. 

I wonder if Goodwin put into time into the above players? Probably not as he plays a systems game plan when most other coaches effectively use a /several tagging roles each week. 
 

 

Shutdown Kelly or Reid 

Nullify McGovern 

Craig McRae did it vs eagles the prior week.  He had a strategy.  Goodwin had nothing.  
 

btw Goody could have given a one vote to a Dees player but that would be pretending to be one of the Scott brothers!!!

Chandler was GARBAGE as he has been for a while now!

And yet Peter Ryan in The Age decided that Petracca was the fifth-best player on the ground and gave him 7 votes (with Reid, Waterman, Kelly and Barrass each getting 8 votes).

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
