Watching this makes me genuinely worried about 25.

I mean we aren't missing that many players so it's a worry.

 

It’s not a witch hunt he’s gone.

The Bont is a super player

One of my absolute favorites. Star and a great guy to boot. 

 

You absolutely couldn't get more Melbourne than winning a flag on the other side of the country while we're in locked, losing 4 finals at the MCG in a row, and then absolutely [censored] the bed again when your best player get injured.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Goodwin is a [censored] coach if absolutely everything isn't going his way. He's Hinkley 2.0. We have another decade of this to look forward to.

    Yes 2024 is done and dusted.

    What a great way to bow out.

    Absolutely smashed.

    We have given notice today that bruise free footy is well and truly back.

    You’re being overly dramatic

    Trac and Oliver with a preseason, is not the difference here. Don’t be fooled into thinking everything in 25 will be all right.

    There’s losing and then there’s losing. This game should be over. Doggies should be up by 50 points. That is not a 1 -1.5 player difference. 

    Yes we are banged up but guess what, guarantee you that half their squad is probably carrying something too.

    Goodwin has got this team playing so conservative and so slow that there is nothing positive about anything we do.

    The season is done, take the shackles off and play with some flare and positivity and implement  changes now. Don’t wait until pre season.

    Some on this site thought we were hopeful we would still make finals and a good chance to do so. Delusional on both fronts. Horrible season laced with loads of ill fortune. We we're never winning it tonight nor making the 8. Thank God we haven't! So many injured and struggling. Finish the season early and go again. Viney seemingly needs shoulder surgery,  May and Gawn should be put in cotton wool. Suns win tonight and we're down to 13th. Top 8 draft pick. Early finish. Nothing guaranteed but a strong October trade and draft period coupled with a an earlier pre season with fitter players and things could look a whole lot different.

    Goodbye 2024. You’ve been downright awful.

    Steadily transitioning into an irrelevant and soulless team again.

    Can we change the coach before it's too late for this group, seriously.

    I have said it before, his failures in 2019 and 2020 after making it to a PF were telling.

    2021 we had the perfect season, including injuries.

    0-4 in finals since the premiership.

    All those finals played at the MCG.

    Goodwin's credit is well spent IMV.

    The writing was already on the wall before Petracca went down, there were alarming signs everywhere.

    Very disheartening looking at our player faces.

    They know the season is cooked and hard to be motivated to keep playing for 4 more weeks.

    Honest quote.

    Started with the Lions first game v us and cemented re  Eagles and then Freo ( twice).

    We are lost.

    And sadly it's players like

    Oliver

    Viney

    Sparrow

    May

    Lever

    Salem

    Petty

    That give me pause.

    I'm worried for season 25.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
