In all seriousness, without carrying on, if this happens again next week is Goodwin gone?

Should be tonight…

    My 41 week pregnant GF in labour would be a better option of Half Back than Rivers or Salem at the moment.

    As they say, good delivery is all about knowing when to push forward with the momentum and knowing when to take the pressure off.

    Hopefully the labour doesn't result in the nightmare rip from hole to hole like today's game has.

    In a related note, the strange creature living in my wife's belly got more kicks during this game than most of the Demons did. Contrast couldn't be sharper because little one really lifted after half time.

    11-19 free kicks.. questionable frees. However we have been terrible. Fumbling all quarters.

    JFC the skills are just putrid.

    Reverse the jersey and that's a ballup.


    If we win a game this year I will be absolutely gobsmacked. There’s something terribly wrong with this team.

    I’m actually curious as to what Goodwin is going to say about this. You surely can’t dish out platitudes after THIS.

    Actually scratch that. He’ll talk about how good the Suns were and how we have to get better.

    It’s the senior players letting us down here.

    It's telling right? They don't believe or care for their coach.

    He should say I am resigning, but he won't. So time for the club to man up and sack.

    feels like Melbourne pre Peter Jackson and Paul Roos.

    Anyone else reckon Aiden Johnson can play,??dreadful, dropped chest mark,Slow!

    There’s no leadership though - how / who can make a call on the coach?

    The President is confirmed as only seeing out this season.

    We have only an interim CEO with the new CEO to be confirmed in APRIL FFS.

    I wouldn't even say the suns pressure is elite but they are causing us to panick and become desperate with our disposals.


    A ten goal loss. Someone needs to answer to this.

     

    Just so many basic things we’re botching. Fumbles, tackles don’t stick…just not switched on and holding ourselves to high standards. Or even middling standards.

    Underwhelming Van Rooyen, junk time goal, see you at Slthera central next week with Johhno and Fritta

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
