it's not about replacing him. It's about moving someone on who isn't right. You go to the talent pool. Three years ago, Mcrae was a fly in the wind. The Pies lost to West Coast at Marvel and then went on to play a Prelim and a flag a year later. He has them playing with a hunger.

Goodwin has clearly lost it. You don't hold onto a rotten spud just because you can't replace it. He's got them playing bottom 4 football. It is so bloody obvious.

    Start planning for 2025 and beyond play the kids, collect the draft picks, trade out for currency.

     

    I fully expect Goodwin will stick to his Tried and true formula ie Blind faith in his favourite 23.

     

    Lollll it just keeps getting better!

    WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS? 🤪

    Half of our players genuinely seem petrified of being tackled or taking a bump today.

    Good question. For me it's not a case of wanting him sacked. It's just a case of fresh blood and enthusiasm. Especially some better selections like Laurie, Petty and Billings. Even Sparrow.

    But I guess it's a knee jerk reaction and I don't have any ideas to replace him with.

    I know we need a better goal kicking coach..4. 13 to 13 5.

    Also a coach to get our defenders coordinated and talking to one another.

    Possibly a Ruck coach to have Max's taps go to our advantage too.

    Food for thought.

    Also a motivational speaker to arrest our slow starts. But that's probably on Goody.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Our culture is summed up by the fact Oliver is playing with out doing a full preseason … what’s that saying ??? Goodwin has lost the plot & taken us back 10yrs , hope Kate Roffie is happy and demanding large crowds & members to watch this garbage

    Have you happy clappers given up yet? Goodwin is awful, we've had a generational squad and won one flag.. it's a joke. I hope we all enjoy 21 as it's the only flag we will ever win 

    anyone at the game 

    get home safe

    13.5 to 5.13 tells some of the story, but it doesn’t show the lack of fight shown by many. Good to be close on expected score I guess. Will help me sleep tonight.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
