Van Rooyen just hasn’t looked like taking a mark tonight.

He should have been dropped.

 

Sparrow also needs a lashing more than the likes of Fritsch imo. Fritsch at least still presents even though his intensity and second efforts should be better in the contest.

When was Sparrow’s last competent match? 5 possessions, 2 tackles for someone who is usually in the team for pressure is [censored] poor.

    Actually doing the kid a disservice not dropping him. It's really poor coaching.

    Fitness. Half the side looks overweight. I suspect Selwyn holds them back more than he should. He's not really a high performance fitness coach.

    This is just not good enough. "Hope along the highway", yeah right. Where was that hope tonight other than 15 minutes in the third quarter. I've been quite positive about the club in the past but I honestly think Goodwin has to step down. Is he coaching to be sacked?

     

    When Max is playing uninspired and mentally checked out, that is very damning for Goodwin. Seems like the Captain doesn't have his back anymore.

    Fitness. they look unfit, spent all summer hugging each other.

    I completely agree. It was worth giving TF a go. He couldn't have been worse than this.

    what is with our players having zero awareness of where the man on the mark is???


    Stop banging on about replicating the third quarter, the bombers had a big lead and could afford to take their foot off the gas

    Just now, whatwhat say what said:

    played his 100th, now needs to go back to the vfl

    such a disappointment

    He’s certainly gone nowhere since 2021. Was bullish on him over Jordon and Bedford as he’s a better build but just hasn't done anything since flag.

    I tnink some tough decisions are needed

    Including with the captain, on being the captain

    Unfortunately we don't have anyone that looks like taking that position

    Bombers have racked up the second highest disposal count of any than this year. Well done lads 🤬

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
