Slow ball movement stagnated forward line. Time to go if you care about the club Goody you should take sole responsibility for the disasterous year we have had. We need to rebuild and Goody is not the man to take us there unless you want a Simpson type form line. Roffey if you are worth your weight you should sack him now. Time to release Jeffo

    Goodwin needs to be moved into the Chief Vibe Coordinator role and replaced with an actual match day coach

    Yeah, nah, goody is the only coach in my lifetime to take us too a flag, get a few draft picks and bounce back, I think Goody is doing amazingly well considering the number of young players in the team that are not all top draft picks like gold coast or hawks, I’d almost say Goody is coach of the year even though we missed finals

    Goodwin still deserves to turn things around next season but he's burnt his tickets up quicker than any other coach in recent memory. 

    He has coached poorly this year. And as a club we've been poor this year just as we were in 2019. It might take a while to right this ship. But it's definitely the end of an era.

    There is no way we Sack our premiership coach after 1 bad season, we were top 4 3 years running no other club comes close...we have had the worse run of injuries and have blooded some decent kids, and still in the fight for the 8.. 

    With a decent preseason and getting our boys cherry ripe with a additional couple players replacing Gus and Smith we are still in position to be top 4 next year

    I think Goody has to make some changes (from my very humble point of view). I'd love to see him get a little more creative with tactics and player positions, and change the way he uses the sub. But I'm not convinced we need a new coach right now. I can't see anyone on the open market offering more than he does at the moment. Plus, having to deal with all the [censored] that comes with finding and adjusting to a new coach is exhausting.

    I'm not in the 'sack Goody' camp but going out in straight sets two years in a row compounds the issue. I still believe he can turn it around next year, we just need some pizzaz, if you will.

    2022 and 2023 were both bad seasons though.

    The fault here lies squarely at the feet of Tim Lamb. 

    His inability to recruit a single senior player to add to this team is a travesty. Worse, those he has added are genuinely negatives from a competitiveness and physicality POV. 

    To maintain a competitive list you need both trading and drafting to be on point. We built our flag with draft + Langdon, Lever, Hibberd, Melksham, May. We haven't added a single solid piece since. 

    I said at the start of the year that we were a Trac injury away from missing finals - I was right. I'm not sure what we expected tbh when our midfield depth consists of Laurie, Woewoedin, Tholstrup. They're just kids - but it's just not at the level. We knew Oliver would be poor. I don't think any of us thought Viney would be this poor. Deloitte might have broken him...

    We simply had to add some senior, good players to this team after the flag. Richmond went and got Tom Lynch. We got Grundy...

    The sweet irony of this coming after a loss to the resurgent, premiership-contending, Beveridge Bulldogs.

    Stick to your team sheets, they’re easier to ignore.

    It's crazy how inept our trading has been, while our drafting has been mostly excellent.

    Double straight sets a success is it? Win at least one of those and we probably have a flag. 
     

    I think it’s the right time for a FD reset. Things have turned stagnant and we need to search for our next premiership coach.

    His ball movement is too slow he's too defensive he will have to completely change his coaching style to be successful again so why waste our time with him at the helm. A new coach will be a breath of fresh air to a stale list.

    Goodwin won't be going anywhere so stop wasting your breath, but a new raft of assistants would probably be a good idea.

    Bevo has never been afraid of trying things and moving players around. Goodwin never makes a move until the game is gone. Their situations are poles apart.

    Brayshaw was a huge huge loss.

     
    Losing Trac halfway through the year wasn’t part of the plan either. 
    Next year will tell us more.

    Goodwin needs to reinvent himself.

    Goodwin is a frustrated coach but this year has been defined by injuries. 

    Injuries and atrocious trading.

    Bevo was close to getting booted this year. Funny how he has turned it around. We however go the other way.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
