Skills must be a high priority next year. We don't know how to change direction, baulk, weave, evade, find a low 30mtre kick to advantage, sit at the front of the marking contest to crumb.....just a couple of suggestions.

It honestly looked like a VFL vs an AFL side the entire night.

Not surprised that we looked VFL level. Realistically we should only have 1 maybe 2 of those players getting a game at this stage.

Our list depth is a real worry.

If they go back on just stand near daicos. The lightening won't strike him

I hope a player brings out a gum tree branch over Daicis’s head. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

This is a weirdly fitting end to a very odd and disappointing 12 months as a Melbourne member.

Well, unlike I suspect many of the people on this thread, I have been at the game. All our best midfielders were out. Lever and May were not playing. Free kicks were 3 to one in their favour. We made some terrible errors, but I think our players did their best and I'm not going to criticise them.

100% agree And I was there too*.

(Had to leave at half time to visit ‘The Royal’ for a quick pot, but still home by end of the game)

I wanted to stay for Nibbler but I’ve had a truly horrible day and it took a lot of effort just to get there today.
I lost my voice abusing Maynard. I got 20 Pies filth kicked out of the members area. I’m done.

Or hand ball with advantage to our players

Come off the grass Mc Donald was extremely competitive. I have bagged Lever , but his organisation skills would have been very handy tonight.

However I think this was treated as a practice matcxh to try out a new style of play. Unfortunately we were undermanned and unprepared. Collingwood play this running game so it was really difficult for our blokes to be trying something so different. Firstly in this game style you need to be moving more ,not letting using delaying tactics which lets the next level setup properly.

You have got to have the right personnel to play a particular game style. Collingwood have got it with Daicos 1 & 2 etc.

Have not said anything about Tmac..

You did a good job Jaded.

personally I think you could have aimed higher with 50 of the fkr’s. But I’ll give you a silver star for your work.

Unlike others not disappointed losing Nibler, great clubman, played a role good luck to him.

Yes, I hear you. I was desperate to stay for him too. Also had a horrible week myself and coming down with something. That's a wrap.

I think most of us thought that McAdams and Fullarton would at the least be decent depth at the start of the year. Two decent players would make a big difference.

Sad end to the season with so many things going wrong, was at the game a dead rubber, the skills errors, missed targets …

completely agree we should throw away our most prolific goal scorer over the past 5 years. Also our most skilled played along side Kozzi

He is never going to be a hard man. He is our finisher. When we play well he looks great like the 6 he kicked in the GF

It’s not about him “never going to be a hard man” , it’s about him regularly being a serious defensive liability ie. lack lustre chase, feeble tackles. This also sets a horrible example to his teammates and surely can’t be good for team morale.

After I got the first 20, the rest left voluntarily with a few choice words from me

Thank You Simon Goodwin
Thank You Simon Goodwin

As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

REPORT: West Coast

The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …” This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
