[censored] these posts are tiresome. 

Do you say this in response to every word uttered by an MFC person after a loss?

Goodwin’s fronted up to a pre-arranged interview and has answered a bunch of questions more thoroughly than he usually would. Including what may be the concession many needed to hear - that the changes we’ve made aren’t working and have robbed us of our identity. 

Literally no one reads these articles and goes “OK all is fine now”. We all wait to see what actually happens on game day. So FFS do we have to run the “talk is cheap” thing every [censored] time?

I stand by my initial “blah blah” comment. Unfortunately, I’m a realist, not an MFC happy-clapper who feels all warm and fuzzy inside whenever I read a puff piece editorial.

I have no faith the club will move Goodwin on, and I don’t think he’s getting through to the playing group. Whatever the reason, his message seems stale. The club should be looking to replace Goodwin. I can’t see this list getting to a grand final anytime soon.

This post received a number of vomit and facepalm emoji’s. KDA isn’t wrong. Get your heads out of the clouds.

I agree, enough is enough.

See you later Goodwin.

Fully agree with you Dazzle. Enough is enough. Goodwin has to go.

The tripe we are currently serving up is disgusting. We have had how many years to fix our forward issues (delivery, set shots & personnel) and have failed dismally in all 3.

Stafford can go, so can Mark Williams. Then there’s our coach who has managed to turn an awesome team into a pile of garbage inside of 3 years when it was all there to go again and win another flag. His game plan is ugly and boring that doesn’t value scoring.

Now for the board. They have overseen all this with an arrogant iron fist. They were/are so afraid of change or a different opinion, this is on their heads too. Don’t get me started on the farce that is the promise of a home base. It’s been 3 years since Roffey came to power, and we are no closer to finding a new home. She needs to go as well.

I remember at the start of 2022 of all this talk from the club about not becoming complacent. Well mission accomplished, the coaches, board & players are all guilty of being just that these past 3 years. Kudos for ruining a once good team who gave their all, into one bereft of skill, guts and determination.

Roffey and Pert can join too.

Club stinks from top to bottom.

Of course they won't..  happy to get stuck into others when opinions and the narrative doesn't suit their own agenda.

Enough....apparently wasn't

The appetite for more mediocrity remains.

Enough ? Insatiable !!!

Fully agree with this. I guess the club is trying to do the right thing for its supporters and give them reassurance and hope etc .

But what I find really difficult to deal with is when after some good games like the whole gather round, is the gloating and self congrats.

We should learn to keep a lid on things. But if we haven't learnt by now , I'm not sure we will.

I know there are media demands but maybe we should buck the trend and keep silent until a flag is won again.

I thought we celebrated too much after beating the Crows and power over in S A . Since then the wheels have fallen off.

The problem with talking the club up after some really poor form is that if we lose against the pies then we have nowhere to go and nothing else to say for other games. Best to say no comment and do any talking on the field.

 

So I guess we have no where to go now

    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

    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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
