Goodwin won't coach again after Melbourne, everyone else knows he's incompetent.

Bevo way too tough for our playing group.

😂🤣 Have 19 words ever been more hilariously wrong?

I'd almost reckon that Bevo could re-kindle his Demons association - and he has the coaching experience. Certainly, for me, an improvement on the incumbent albeit a rather massive re-design. Amusing thoughts.

Whether we need a new coach or coaching team.   We definitely need more mongrel. 
 

far too soft. You should never share a joke with someone who has DELIBERATELY ended a mates career.

When you see a player shake hands with a thug who ended one of your team mates career you know we are as soft as butter.

Wait who did that?  I did not see that, thankfully, I would have threw up on the spot.

Surely if Goodwin was thinking of moving to Adelaide (the city) at the end of 2025, there would have been succession discussions with Yze and he never would have taken the poisoned chalice Richmond job?

Trac just played on with broken ribs and ruptured spleen

Its a mental thing. In your wildest dreams could you imagine a Pies player doing the same thing? The pies just wanted to win more than us it was obvious to everyone.

I don't agree that Trac is mentally soft. quite the opposite

Yep, I could see Moore or Sidebottom doing the same thing

Not a Viney or Maynard though

 

I agree with your last comment of course, they were far more committed and wanted it more

A couple of years ago we took the field against Sydney, and May moved to shake hands with Buddy Franklin, who ignored him and walked straight by. It [censored] me off at the time but in reflection it was a solid F-you psychological move. I would have felt much better had this been our modus operandi regarding Thug Maynard against the Pies.

Not that it would happen, but it would be funny to replace a coach accused of wasting a golden era with another coach accused of wasting a golden era.

If you think he can coach then i'm happy for you. Proof is there that he's a stubborn autocrat who's wasted the last 2 years. Shache as a sub in a semi-final tells you all you need to know.

He will not be a head coach at AFL level again. Go and read the Adelaide boards and see what they think of one of their own as a coach.

That was Goodwin's single worst moment as coach of the MFC. Intentionally playing one man down in a high stakes final.

Carlton bring on a fresh sub in Ollie Hollands, on a warm night, who was instrumental in their game winning passage of play with 45 second left. 

Meanwhile our sub was a 200cm maligned player with absolutely no intention of bringing him on.

He’s got more flags than either of their coaches. 
 

also, going to big footy to get a feel for things is generally wise. I think most club executives and performance teams do the same.

...and as we have seen, the outcome is that under Badloss' tutelage, the MFC must tolerate 'going nowhere' in advance, so very often.

The suggestion of Goodwin going to Adelaide or Port has their respective BigFooty posters petrified.

They don't want anything to do with him.

I suggested to my Adelaide cohort a trade of Goodwin for Darren Burgess and almost got poleaxed for it.

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
