    Yeah someone younger who has an attacking mindset, I can't watch this slow boring [censored] anymore, North have been a better team to watch than us. 

    Goodwin has one coaching style and he has refused to change it for years.

    We are boring, we won't get crowds to watch this crud but we will be stuck with him cos the club loves him and they won't sack him.

    Not sure the coach is the problem the list is wrong, the game has shifted from contest and defence to speed, and skills is a must and without kozzy and Windsor we have none of it

    Not too sure, but Goodwin has got to go.

    Feel like we need a coach that is not all about “lovey dovey” relationships and can give the group a good bake.

    Trac will probably again want out, so too Kozzie. Clarry not too sure, none of May, Gawn, Lever or Viney are getting any younger either.

    Time to face reality and recognise our time at the top is well and truly over.

    We have McVee, Rivers can be good.

    Start building with the youngsters trade most of the vets, whoever has any value.

    Round 2. Should have given Goodwin the big Axe last year 

    Would have if it was up to me. Players love him apparently. I love anyone who lets me sit on the coach and do nothing and tell me I’m special

    Anyone who has a game plan that includes fast ball movement and hires a goal kicking coach.

    Thank you for educating me. I didn't know the coach had nothing to do with the list build.

    John Longmire please.

    The only negative with Longmire is his record on grand final day, but that won’t be an issue for years when it comes to the MFC.

    Rebuilt Sydney really well after 2019-2020 and perhaps he can guide us through a rebuild of ours.

    Longmire or Simpson

    Simpson reeks of Goodwin 2.0, it's a no for me.

    Should be more bold and try a new guy like Hawthorn did.

    You actually need to have a look at yourself absolutely shizen post, but the way you carried on the game day thread should have picked this.

    Shocking loss yes absolutely unacceptable by the players but

    Sack the coach and Retire Gawn in Rd 2

    I did not say retire Gawn. I want to really think what are we going to do with our veteran players.

    Wether you like it or not they won't play forever.

    Are we rebuilding?

    Do we think we have even a remote chance to compete in the next 3 season?

    Look at the way Mitchell has matched his game plan to the skill set his playing group. 

    Goodwin wants to play a brand of football that his players either can't or won't execute. If he won't change, it is time to go.

    Yes we can compete, did you watch last week, did we compete yes.

    Gawn was BOG last week 

    Losing and shocking performances happen.

    Seen it before and seen it turn.

    You are entitled to your opinion. Hard for me to see us compete (i.e win a final, which we haven't done since September 2021).

    I think we are in the cross roads of a potential rebuild. Which is not so bad considering the talent we have collected in the draft the last 3 years.

    Goodwin and Tim Lamb have completely butchered our list management.

    Fancy offering a cooked Viney a contract extension all because Norf bluffed us.

    Completely disheartened with this footy club.

    Jaymie Graham. Just like how most credit Yze for our flag, Simpson has had similar praise for Graham as forward coach of West Coast from 2017-19. 

    Not too sure of his tactical nouse, but even hearing Riewoldt positively speak about him in the past from his time with St Kilda, it may be a risk worth taking.

    A young coach with a lot to prove and will no doubt be a refresher to go hand in hand with a restart for the club. Worked with McCrae and Mitchell, so with another year of assistant experience at Fremantle, he would no doubt be better for it should a club like us come calling.

    We still have a nucleus of a very good list who are all seriously underperforming.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
