 So if people want goody sacked then who do you want as coach?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Not just today.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
