Goodwin simply cannot last this performance.

This is putrid 

Greene must be swift tonight 🤞🏻

 

Put a line through this season, find a new coach and figure out what we're gonna do with our draft picks. 

I'd be happy with a full rebuild at this point, including moving on Trac and Clarry if we can.

    I don’t mind losing but we have been soft all day and completely given up.

    Forget 10 goals. 
     

    This will get close to 100. Honestly hope it does, Goodwin won’t last the night

    That sums it up. My god petty

    Yep.

    And to think we pinned our season on him last year as a fwd. He was good last week but had a mare today .

    And some people were complaining about the time slots we have.

    No wonder when we serve this type of tripe.

    I'm laying the blame totally on the club. How many of us have been howling about our abysmal fwd line?

    I hope Fritta gets dropped for a month.  I don't care . It's one thing to not touch the pill but it's inexcusable to have not laid a single discernable tackle.

    See ya Fritta.

    Jvr has gone totally backwards.

    Oliver and Coney and Chandler have done well.

    But so many of them have been terrible.

    But the club goes first in blame for not having any players we can replace any of these players up forward. Big time.

    That's a sad ending for some champs of the MFC. Unfortunately the plodders have now taken control


    Is there an award for making it to now before turning it off? 

    That's just embarrassing effort. I can handle losing. I can't handle complete lack of effort and no desire for contest.

    Pathetic, embarrassing performance. I don't know what happened to the team from round one but we deserved to get raked over the coals for this.

    Tell him to get ready for 50+ years of pain.

    This is the truth


    Omg this is diabolical. Appalling skills . Kicking to the opposition. Inability to clear from centre even when winning the tap.Poor tackling. Pointless bombs to the forward line . So slow . We are playing like a bottom two side.

    The club has been expecting Goodwin to be a different coach, clearly won't change at all never.

    Clearly trying to change up the inside midfield and game plan. We just are not executing. Chandler is the only one who has had a 'good' game

    So many broken tackles, not even from fends or anything, but from players just not committing hard enough and not holding strong.

    No pressure from the forward line. They are just running it straight through. Okay, that’s enough. I’m checking out.
     

    Gone from the best defence and allowed 6 goals by a bottom team Goodwin coming down to coach from the bench when the games is gone says it all! Has completely lost control of the bs game plan

    Will hand it to North. Theyre on the up and we're on the down. Real hungry

    Yep. Stark contrast between the two teams.

    That it’s for me today. Can’t bear to watch this [censored] show. Something still funky bout the club. Doubt it will get fixed this year. Goody - I’m afraid you need to go. We’ll need another 2-3 years with a new game plan. 
     

    Bombers death riding us hard.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
