Smelling like a 10 goal loss. Also, my statement post Chandler's 3 goal game against North was that he wouldn't kick 3 goals in his next 3 games. He has kicked... checks notes.... 1. Why do we have small forwards that can't average more than a goal a game getting a kick?

Skill errors almost unbelievable for an AFL team.

But the good news is that we have only three problems to fix:

  1. A dysfunctional defence.

  2. A lacklustre midfield.

  3. A non-existent forward line.

Fixed spelling.

 

Let’s face it we are never going to stop bombing it in. Knowing that wtf is Goodwin doing playing a forward line full of midgets. Might as well play disco roo Aidan johnson and jeffo so we have a chance

i'm a perceptive supporter not a 'die hard' because why would i die hard when they persisted with Goodwin when it was clear that he was not allowing the best of our players. we recruited Nate Jones of all people to coach, with no coaching credentials, purely on sentiment, and we arguably did the same with Brad Green.
When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

I don't wish to pile [censored] on Melbourne, but I'm trying to have a perceptive and critical discussion about it.

Unfortunately for you I have developed a soft spot for Collingwood because even though many of they're supporters are horrible, the club has a spirit that wouldn't allow pure sentiment to cloud their vision for their prosperity and the welfare of the players.

That being said, my line of reasoning is much more caring to our players than supporters who just say "great we have Nate Jones coaching and Goodwin still there, fantastic!" without seeing how catastrophic this has been for the welfare and prosperity of kids like Petracca and the younger echelon of Rivers etc. who are trying to live full and unhindered footballing careers

You Go Away, youve probably got no guts to stand up for what this club needs.

If you have a “soft spot” for Collingwood you can F off now Sunshine.

I am not interested in your philosophical rants…

Given our fourth quarter drop offs, we could be looking at a very ugly margin.

Can't even begin to comprehend how badly we are going to get smashed by freo next week.

Goodwin has killed this team. Purely in a football context (not personally) I hate everything about him.

 

2nd

🤮Spargo 3 missed tackles

🤮Bowey spare. Ridley spare. Bombers uncontested marks in defence

🤮chip chip chip chip TURNOVER

🤮Spargo setup Langdon for ko

🤮fumbles and fumbles and fumbles

🤮. Inside50s 27. Goals 2. 7%

🤮Spargo metres gained 50

️Langdon 17 disposals 6 contested possessions 1 goal 8 marks


Total lack of basic skills with the exception of 2 or 3 players.

The forwards lack any structures to play too and the coaches look to have no idea of what to do.

I just witnessed the most uninspiring quarter of footy I've seen in my life.

No spirit, no drive of the half back line, no marking ability.

This is unbelievable.

There is no passion, no fire, no confidence, no fire in the belly. And I can't see who in our team can spark it. Max is toiling hard, but where do we lift from? Can we?

This is horrible, so sad how low we have fallen in a relatively short space of time.

They have somehow completely lost confidence or something is terribly wrong behind the scenes .

Our forwards refuse to lead and prefer to wrestle.

West coast and Richmond would beat us at this stage. WTF ??

I want answers not small talk from the coach and club.

Looked up at my '21 GF poster.
15 Premiership players we've got out here tonight.

That is very depressing isn't it? Goodwin has wasted these talented players. No game plan whatsoever! Seeing them play this way reminds me of going to watch all those Neeld games. Breaks my heart.

not many positives

langdon playing well.

and we're only down by 5 goals

We played Roo, Jeffo and AJ in week 1. Kicked our highest score for the year and only got rolled by 3 points and unlucky to lose that. Imahine if we had of had Kozzie in we would have won easily. Since then we've continually dropped a tall each week until now we are down to 1 (Jeffo is still injured in believe?), Melksham still getting a game for some unknown reason and the other two talls in Fullarton and AJ can't get a game because.... Goody?

I can see the changes for next week

IN: Jeffo, Fullerton, Disco

JvR being set up for failure.

Langdon can hold his head up high.

This season has quickly devolved from me being hopefully of a win in most games we play to just being interested in the young players development. Sad.

 

I’d sub Conca and Chaplin in. Can’t be any worse off

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
