Same movie as 2022, 2023, 2024.

Nothing has changed.

Goodwin and his empty promises. So much for the new game plan.

At least we were top 4 for most of that period. Was good watching us win, even if it was a slot at times to watch the game style.

We're headed for bottom four now. Time to get games into the talented kids of the future. Langford, Windsor, Mcvee, Tholstrup, Jefferson, Lindsey etc all need to be played if healthy. 

Depth players like Woe, Howes, and Bowey need to be sent to Casey unless injuries hit badly.

Bye bye Goodwin.

You've found ways to make us worse each year after 2021.

Agree he had to go, but when will the club pull the trigger?

None of our forwards want to lead up and demand the football. 

 Couple of nice passes to their backs though

Everyone goes on about Goodwin, but he can’t help viney absolutely, totally, completely, butchering the ball going i50 time and time and time and time again.

Shocking stuff 

Should we then delist everyone and keep Simon "Premiership Coach" Goodwin?

Guys we are not losing because of our forwards - although they are terrible

North have had 21 shots from 37 entries. We are not running hard enough

So many unmarked players when they attack 

 

Easy to see why Trac and Pickett wanted out so badly.  The slide continues.

Get out while you can.

Game not over but Same old issues bombing into fw50 nothing has changed! Other clubs trade in experience key positions whilst all we can do is draft vfl players( no disrespect to the Werribee boys) look at who hawks have trading, pies getting Houston, cats etc, our trading since 21 is pathetic  if they win will be a miracle

Biased commentary on foxtel is ridiculous. They’re screaming every time Roos get the ball (despite easily being in the lead) then you hear there interest drop anyone time make any kind of comeback 

I just can't see us doing anything this year.

Hate to be negative but absolutely pathetic skill level and decision making.

Why doesn't JVR ever lead? Petracca goes down there in Q3, leads and gets a free. JVR waits at the back of the pack, waiting for the big bomb, which he never marks ( he's a two-grabber). Turner leads occasionally, but JVR.....

Genuine question, who should we be looking at to replace him? Longmire?

[CENSORED} KICKING

why are we so [CENSORED} BAD?

when i resort to caps you know i'm mad 


Our players are 4 years older from our premiership.  We haven't been bringing in the youngsters or mid range 20 year olds.

Instead we've tried to rebuild with hunter, billings& McAdam.

That what Stevie j said on mmm. Said our forwards just stand there & no one moves to create anything. Also they huddle together. 

Hopefully this doesn't blow out

Tom Hawkins said the same thing, everyone can see it but the coaches, midfield is one paced have said it for the last couple of seasons being shown up again.

They’re unmarked because we are rightly running forward when one of our players kicks it directly to the opposition. Then all of our players are caught offside.. easiest goals in the world

He can’t kick it for them 


Forwardline entry is bad as usual but the positioning of our forwards is actually even worse. Big men not leading and unable to halve contests when required. Small forwards not getting to the drop at all. W'e're making a key defensive group that includes Toby Pink and Aiden Corr look good.

I have not seen one forward lead from a Melbourne Player. 

Must be hard when they do lead and the lead is never honoured. We just love coming it in.

I thought that moving Rivers into the midfield might improve this but he is still finding his feet in the role.

On top of all the [censored] after 2021. Our recruitment of FA has been putrid.

Probably the worst from a premiership fancy in recent history.

Our drafting has been phenomenal, just imagine where would we be if the club was able to attract a McKay, Lynch or similar.A graders.

I'd switch Rooh down back for Petty

I know our fwd line is non existent but this is not a good idea.

In fact it sums up what has been wrong with this chub for three years.

No forward line and no desire or effort to resolve it. As evidenced last year moving Petty up fwd. Didn't work then and won't work now. I understand why you mention it but it won't change anything.

The club has been relying on our backline year after year to win games.

Problem is and I'll type it slowly so the boffins at the club can read it , back lines don't kick winning scores.

Where's the replacement for Hogan? Grundy, Joel Smith, Tmac, Jackson? Nah let's just not worry about it. Let's even move Jvr to play in the middle instead of finding a decent support for Max.

As bad as our skills have been today, the club has to accept responsibility on not having the cattle so we can drop a few of the offenders out there . They have been equally as bad.

We might find out if we lose 4 or 5 of the next 6 games.

  • 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 1½ 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.
