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.

    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: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have traveled to Alice Springs to take on the Saints and they have a massive opportunity to build on the momentum of two big wins in a row and keep their finals hopes well and truly alive.
