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."

    We could genuinely go through this year winless

    Imagine if that actually comes to fruition

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
