Fritsch is making Harry McKay look like a player that’s actually worthy of the contract he is on.

    Why would anyone back Goodwin?

    Maybe they are waiting for the new coach? Not the first time I would see a playing group giving up on their coach.

    he needs to go but the players have an obligation to do what they are well paid to do

    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.

    Spot on, those big contracts can split the group & the restaurant debacle, cap issues no doubt impacting on trading in big names & losing players Jordan, Bedford etc we are a mess again interim president & CEO it’s a disgrace

    This is a Broken Team/Club right now

    Disharmony on multiple levels, it has to be. Nobody is giving a rats anymore.

    This should be Goodwin’s last assignment…

    I will not be attending another home game this year to sit & watch that served up. Next year’s membership renewal is not going to happen either. GAGF MFC.

    that should read ‘night’

    I’m at the ground watching this car wreck in slow motion. How can our skills be so deplorable? We might not win a game all year if this is what we produce.

    Just saw some vision of all of our forwards sitting together talking. Wonder what they are taking about?

    What they’ll do on Hindley Street tonight

    Petty laughing his [censored] off while Max was delivering the speech before the start of the 2nd half. 😡

    Just spent two hours getting a sick toddler to sleep. Then the TV and see the score. Seems like more of the same from this group? Belted around the ball and bombing to a congested forward line?

    We'll be playing in Port Augusta next year for the Gather round, we won't be worthy of the Barossa.

    We're actually becoming an embarrassment to the AFL.

    There's been some ripping games across this round but we are just dragging it down.

    I'm sorry to say but history shows that's how we roll.
    The club is simply unable to handle or sustain any sort of success.
    A true basket case.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
