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...

    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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
