Bayley Fritsch has turned into one of the worst footballers I've seen pull on a jumper in a long long time.

Yet goody won't drop him

This Neeld era bs

it really does feel like that doesn't it

messy, sloppy, poor skills, zero pressure defensively

how we have fallen so far from this time last year is just galling

Another Goodwin masterclass.

no clues

 

I look forward to the 10 minute spell where we play well and give us hope only to lose by 10 goals


Ahhh Gary.

We have been "See what happens" going forward since Goodwin took over.

You've had 9 years Goody. Do the honourable thing. You've lost these blokes.

Ive coached elite sport for many years, if my group of athletes fronted up to any comp with this level of skill I would have been sacked real quick. I cannot fathom how we can be this poor.

 

So yourself a favour, don't expect a tackle to stick

I want Goodwin to go as well, but he can't stop Petracca from hand balling to no one or fumbling a ball at his toes under no pressure.
And that's Petracca, our best player. All down the list we've gone backwards at warp speed.

A strong whiff of West Coast's post-flag trajectory about us now.

So we have 3 talls now plus Gawn

[censored] me


For the feint of heart time to stop watching. this is a 70 plus point loss coming up folks.

Why is our pressure factor always so low, and always lower than our oppo??

Sounds a lot like Garry is on the 'Sack Goody' train now


Look at the body language

Trac and even Gawn look defeated

Haven’t ever seen this before. You just know we have zero chance of winning

Belief has left the building

Even the commentators sound bored. The intensity and skill level is so bland. I'm bored it is so bad.

I'm not sure what's happened. I thought the days of playing badly like this were over.

This is bruise free footy

wtf are they doing in the coaches box? Are we just rocking back and forth repeating “it’ll come good stick to the process”?

We’ll be lucky to have 40,000 members next year if Goodwin and this playing style is persisted with.

Genuine question. Has anyone seen us lead towards the ball carrier yet? Or just away from them?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
