Nicks and Longmuir are not in Victoria, not an issue 

Goodwin has underperformed in 3 Seasons along with a lot of off field distractions. 
His contract should never have been extended before last years Final Series, but that was Roffey & Pert. 

Stop talking nonsense he has underperformed in 1 season 

There is 1 premier every year

Oh wait the generic Swyl reply “we didn’t win any finals”

He had is in the top 4 from 21-23 with a flag, I know for reasons beyond your control you didn’t play but these things are bloody hard to win.

All we ask as supporters (and it isn’t accepting mediocrity) is to have us regularly pushing top 4 with a chance of winning a flag. He has done that 3 out of 4 years

    "Diamond" Joe Gutnick is yesterday's news.

    He did save the Melbourne Football Club from merger but that was in 1996. That is 28 years ago!

    I remember his Presidency being full of drama and fighting with the AFL. He then lost the Presidency in 2001 or 2002 to Gabriel Szondy, from what I recall?

    He still owes the Melbourne Football Club around $400,000 dollars. A debt he never paid.

    He stuffed up our opportunity to have a proper Home Base at Olympic Park but unfortunately Eddie and the Magpie scum swooped in and stole the location from us!

    Now in 2024 after many years in ignominy and being bankrupt (at least it says that in past newspaper articles) he has the "chutzpah" to think he speaks for us?!

    In my opinion Joseph Gutnick has lost any respect he once had with most Melbourne supporters and members many years ago.

    Goodwin was outcoached regularly in ‘23 & ‘24. 
    I know how hard Flags are to win, but losing 4 Finals in succession and still having the same gameplan is unacceptable to me. 
    That said, he will Coach in ‘25

    Whether he sees the Year out is up to him

    2 Finals Series out in Straight Sets on the MCG, followed by 14th. 
    Using the same forward gameplan for all 3 years. 
     

    I call that underperforming and a Fail

    If you think the forward game plan is unchanged, you haven't been watching the games.

    There were injury issues last year, plus the footy act on Brayshaw: and they lost 2 finals by a total of 9 points or so - not a fail in my book, unless anything less than a flag is a fail.

    Joe has a very interesting history. I wouldn't be taking any advice from him on football matters.

    What next ?  Getting Cam Schwab back as an advisor !!

    Nah Cranky. I reckon we get Brian Waldron in to advise on managing our salary cap.

    I have to say it’s pretty naive of Green to meet with Gutnick. He should know that Gutnick is a regular source for the Herald Sun and hence anything spoken about could be leaked to the media.

    I really hope Green sent Gutnick a text msg telling him to [censored] off and then blocked his number after the article was published.

    Failing to make Prelims in 2022 and 2023 is a failure. We have failed the last 3 seasons.

    Also losing Semi finals means you didn't finish in the top 4.

    I love Brad Green as a footballer and a person, but this happening so incredibly soon into his Presidency tells you all you need to know about if he has the nous to be in such a role.

    Give him a break. Brad's just a little bit green.

    I know there’d be some 'Landers who might not agree with me, but I can confidently say that 100% of the supporters I’m friends with—whether they're in Queanbeyan or not—are absolutely clueless about what Joe is on about. It's like he's speaking in a code that only he understands, and the rest of us are just nodding along, pretending we get it!

    I think he’s been talking to Abdul.

    It hurts me that the only reason for this arguing is Gutnik.

    Especially when Joe and both his Jewish and Gentile mates can all manage to John Lennon aside their ideological differences for one second on who may or not be responsible for the current events in the Levant to fully agree that Goodwin is not the right guy to lead the Petracca peace negotiations.

    Tht is the same area as the Redlegs group and I haven't seen him at any games since he got the flick.

    He was unheard of during our worst ever period between 2008 and 2014, didn't issue a murmer, all of a sudden he  wants a bit of the limelight. I will stick to my theory that the media have contacted him to continue the stirring.

    Must have a new share float or IPO happening

    Don't think you would have a clue about how the media operate to obtain stories and fuel the fires, if you had a few spare hours I could open your eyes to quite facts about how they go about it.

    Can we have a workshop thread?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1Âœ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
