Tbf, this is only their second match of the year after playing in round 1 and then the bye.

They look seriously good in the contest and on the spread and would be expected to get a lot better as the season goes on.

Absolutely. Their spread today is asking us look pedestrian.

This has 10 goal thumping all over it

But they love each other

Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

Dropped marks, miskicks, handballs that fail to travel a metre, constant turnovers, etc. etc. nothing to do with Goodwin.

Checking the score, I'm guessing it hasn't been a pretty game & I'm not missing much

Quick question..

Which department has been the worst today,?

Forward

Midfield

Or

Backline?

Trick question...... they're all on the nose.

forwards, our goals have been kicked by the sub and a backman

Lindsay, if anything probably a PCL unfortunately

Thanks very much. Bloody shame for the young kid. Been doing well.

Heartbreaking for him.

Time to call the season off.

Never seen them so disinterested under goodwin.

Think he's lost them.

I'm not even thinking about the result, just the situation with young Lindsay makes me feel sick.

How long do we have to keep watching this garbage.
Till the club has withered and died a slow death.
Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

We need to make a statement and stand for something.

Must admit I try to avoid the AFL official media just as much as I try and avoid the Gameday thread. But any danger someone from the AFL could drop by training one day and take a snap of the vice-captain and add it to the file?

Thanks Mr C. Snake . At least Milkshake has still got it.

And I called for Bowser to moved fwd two weeks ago. He is fast, fleet of foot,has great hand to eye coordination and in the limited opportunities had good goal awareness. Given Kozzie s suspension and Nibbler leaving, Chins apparent cameo for the year, he could be handy.

Everything to do with the coach, good coaches do not tolerate continued mistakes.

Except for the fact that he is the one in charge of the list and all that..

We keep bellying the ball

I don’t know what to make of this team. They look like they just aren’t invested in the game plan (whatever that may be), they don’t appear to be working for each other (very little talking or awareness of what team mates are doing) and they just appear to lack energy. Honestly, I feel like I’m watching a Neeld era match… it’s so [censored] awful!!

Fritsch can’t buy a goal, Rivers is having possibly the worst game I’ve seen him play, Viney appears to be disposing of the ball to players that we can’t see, Salem doesn’t appear to want to lay a tackle, Oliver still having the occasional expensive brain fart etc etc. And on top of all of that we lose Lindsay, one of our most productive players in the first two rounds, early in the game.

I am liking Johnson’s attitude if not his skill set, and I’ve liked Sharp’s run. Back to the game now…

Reminds me of when players used to walk away ignoring the Neil Balme qtr time huddles.

FFS need to make a statement and drop Oliver. He has been a liability.

WATCHING MELBOURNE FOOTY CLUB IS A HEALTH HAZARD

They must practice handballing at each others feet.

Just back from my boy's basketball final, they lost by a point and he is in tears

I'll just pop on the footy now, hopefully will cheer us up

Well actually he isn't.

List manager and recruitment are in charge of that. Sure Goodwin has input but he won't make the calls.

Thank Christ Ben King is on our team.

Ben king is no good

Any chance of just one fast play?

Aaah Ben King is providing a bit of mirth at least.
