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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
