    50 years of this [censored]. Tell me some of our senior players are trying. They looked apathetic when they run through the banner. They no the team is cooked. Trac and Oliver don’t want to be there the whole thing stinks

    Can we be the first team ever to sack a coach at half time.

    Take your [censored] game plan and [censored] off Goodwin

    These last two weeks have been the worst of his coaching career. 6 smalls up forward is insanity

    At the match , it’s even worse live. A complete and utter shambles. Woeful skills . Players who look dispirited and lost . I think Goodwin has to take responsibility for this mess.

    Well I have finally got there, Goodwin's game plan and direction isn't getting through. He has to go

    There's a reason our crowds are poor.
    Just awful football to watch.

    We have freo next week at the g Saturday afternoon. Won't even get 20 thousand

    This is actually heartbreaking. I used to get so mad watching this team during the Bailey, Neeld and Roos years. I've calmed down a lot. I am not even angry at this. Just heartbroken. This is the most boring, insipid football I have wayched in a while.

    Who knew that when you play one key forward who is only 193cm you won’t take F50 marks…. Oh that’s right every demon supporter and person other than the coaches.

    Hmmm 16 points in nearly a half of footy. I think we might have a serious problem scoring? (Among other problems, ofc)

    Also, oof, getting ugly. Already. Again.


    I actually cannot fathom how poorly we are playing. The effort* (for the most part) is there but the execution, my god.

    *Certain players excepted, Petty being the main offender for mine. Send him to the VFL

    How does Petty drop that mark. Our skills are just so poor.

    I’ve seen enough. We weren’t this bad even in the 80’s. The coach has lost this team. Hiss off Goodwin you’ve made us look like a laughing stock. TV off!

    This is the best way to put it.

    Exactly how I feel. Just really sad.

    I've watched every game so far except the Blues/Eagles. All entertaining games, we are just so boring to watch.

    Nothing has changed moving the ball inside 50.

    This could get real ugly in the second half.

    They have to stand up and fight the whole way tonight in the second half.

    I would say the opposite. Our skills are not that poor. Decision making or great. But we are not working hard enough at all

    18 more weeks of this debacle. Are we officially in crisis? Goodwin must go now!

    I didn't buy the love in stuff for a second. This place is rotten .

    Yeah maybe you're right, it just seems like we are just butchering it again and again especially going inside 50. Who the hell would want to play forward in this team.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
