Tom Sparrow… 50 minutes time on ground for 2 touches, two tackles, one mark and one free against.

    I haven't watched much of this game, but just reading everyone's comments I think it suffices to say the players don't care about their coach anymore. Just look at their half efforts.

    F’ing unbelievable, another 2 goal half and Goodwin can’t see the need to change anything. Totally disgraceful coaching.

    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.

    Legitimately thought things couldn’t get any worse and we have around a 65-70% chance to get a win tonight such is the defensive vulnerabilities of *, but we genuinely might not get a win until West Coast in 3 weeks time.

    To look so unthreatening against * is just absolutely shocking.

    someone needs to make a call

    Goodwin gone or Trust Goodwin and trade Oliver petty Petracca

    Probably lose JVR Lindsey Langford Windsor

    Pickett gone

    I mean why would these guys stay

    I wouldn’t

    Club is a basket case

    This should be posted on the walls of the Dees training ground

    They have no marks inside 50. It’s as though they come to training in whatever gear they want to wear and muck around."

    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.

    Yep Langers only one who has maintained his levels.

    full external review end of season

    Public

    No holds barred

    Top to bottom

    How did this happen and who is responsible

    A review was done, yet with Pert who’s no longer there! A club without a permanent President, CEO .. nothing against Green… but it’s time for Goody & a list mgt shake up … to have basically no talls in the Fwd line us a joke after 3 years of winning a flag , Goodwin has completely unwound the foundations of contest & defence set by Roos ..I’d be surprised if trac dosent request a trade.

    If time travel was possible, I wouldn’t want to go back to 2012 or 2013…. But apparently I have.

    Why would anyone back Goodwin?

    Maybe they should listen to the fugazi (white noise) during the week, take note of what’s said outside the bubble.

    Clearly listening and tapping inside the bubble isn’t working.

    This is what happens when you drink your own bath water.

    Time has come for change.

    At this rate, would be very lucky to get 50,000 Anzac Eve.

    Goodwin has lost me

    but players like trac, clarry, fritsch petty need to take a look in the mirror.

    a team with 15 premiership players should not be this bad irrespective of who the coach is. shameful effort

    I can see the changes for next week

    IN: Jeffo, Fullerton, Disco

    Unless Jeffo has recovered from his hand injury he won't be in. Fullerton can kick another 10 in the next 3 game and he won't get a game because Goody hates him for some reason, Disco might get a chance.

    We are not winning against West Coast, no chance in hell.

    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 .

    The "love" mantra is a crock of [censored]. We've [censored] ourselves royally. After 2021 we talked ourselves up as a dynasty in the making. Hubris exploded with that rearward looking GF MCG big screen replay event during the 2022 preseason. We had the 2022 Entrecote debacle, rumours of off field issues, etc. Signs of resentment building, and no wonder. Imagine being a broad number of our mid-tier premiership players negotiating contracts and being told that the salary cap was tight, while they look across to millin-dollar mids either going off the rails or cracking the sads and getting Presidents and CEOs sacked.

    No wonder we have a field of players with no unity or system or trust or confidence.

    And don't get me started on the osteopath cosplaying as Burgess in our fitness dept.

    Gosh I'd love Garry just to tee off & just launch into us

    I’d let him loose in the change rooms.

    Just devoid of hope at this point. It’s like in trying to adopt a new gameplan which doesn’t suit our players, we’ve forgotten all the things we did well. Now we don’t do them, and can’t do any kind of gameplan.

    very dispiriting to watch.

    • 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.

      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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
