Petty should be dropped. Rarely have I been so disappointed in lack of effort

    Can we forfeit the season?

    An even crack from the maggots would be a nice change.

    I've been saying the same for nigh on 12 months.

    His two kicks tonight included a Cats out on the full.

    Club should raise this at highest levels but won’t because club admin is amateurish

    Petty had a stinker, one of our key backs seem to every week. Could drop him, or could go 4 tall backs and move Rivers on ball.

    Sharp’s no good. Spargo should play a month at Casey so they can pick him for full games in form and match fit.

    JVR is just ordinary and not getting any better. I’d rather big AJ.

    Langford’s not ready.

    Viney continues to get worse.

    I’d probably go:

    Out: Sharp, Langford, JVR, Spargo

    In: Mentha, Lever, AJ, Laurie

    Sharp - omg

    Sparrow - Petracca’s mate, so won’t get dropped

    If all our players tried as hard as Sparrow we’d at least be a chance. He did his job tonight. Took Holmes completely out of the game. Until we get some reinforcements no way he gets dropped given we’re picking guys who have no impact and can’t even stick to a task.

    Petty has to be dropped for Lever.

    Spargo and Sharp both have to be dropped. They are both absolutely useless right now. Both need to go find some VFL form. I doubt Lindsay will be fit so we'll have to find two replacements and I don't want Billings to be one of them. Laurie maybe, but IMO he's in the same basket as Sharp, Spargo and Billings.

    Too early for Culley?

    He didn't just "do his job", he did a great job. The anti-Sparrow bias on here is embarrassing right now.

    Can't drop Langford. He does all the right things, even if he fatigued late. Our best last week, had a good first half tonight, is the future. I certainly wouldn't be dropping or even resting him if the replacement in your list there is Laurie.

    Out: Petty, Sharp, Spargo, Fritsch

    Ins: Lever, Laurie, Billings, Fullarton

    I know the mere suggestion of Billings will be rebuffed. Maybe you look at Sestan or Mentha as well. Kynan Brown maybe gets another chance.

    Outs:

    Sharp - good lord never again. If Goodwin is fair dinkum, he never puts on a Melbourne jumper again.. ever.

    Spargo - What on earth are we doing here...any other club would let him rot in the VFL except us. This is one of the more bizarre team selections going around in my time supporting the dees with how much they rate Spargo over the past few weeks.

    Petty - Yo Adelaide.. can we do that trade??

    Ins:

    Lever and two suburban footballers that will have a genuine crack.

    I rarely think we ever lose a match at selection, nor do I buy into the "Goody picks his faves" conspiracy theory.

    But there's just no way I will be able to stomach seeing Spargo get another game. Not until he goes back to Casey and earns it. Right now he's a slow, possibly overweight, liability with no asset (don't tell me he can kick - that's useless if you can't get the ball in the first place).

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
