Goodwin please leave and take selwyn with you.

 

I'd luv to know why Sparrow was shaking his head after having received a message from the runner.

I haven't felt like this since the day before they announced Roos as our new coach. At least back then I had hope. Totally lost.

 

3 goals 7 points in three quarters.

Make that 7 goals 3. Then it might be learnings. To be had. But I do not think they will review this loss. Why bother, if you cannot score you cannot win, What other learnings are there. !!

the way they started the 3rd should have been the way they started the 1st. The team is utterly lost now and playing some brand of footy no one understands and that doesn’t work.

Big changes needed.


I think there is a valid argument to be made that Goody has lost the players.

Not only do we look completely confused for most of the games, our pressure ratings are appalling.

There's no way he survives to 2026 and there should be huge question marks on Radford, Jones, Williams and Chaplin (and Richardson) too.

I think we're in for a big clean out.

A few good signs, probably all we can expect for the moment.

Decent performance across the ground, marred by a few costly errors (May and Gawn dropped marks), the younger players struggling a bit, Windsor hasn't been himself since returning, Langford can't handball to save himself, Lindsay getting too easily out-bodied, etc. etc. But tackles, clearances, contested possessions all trending in the right direction.

However: This was supposed to be the breakout year for JVR, unfortunately it's close to his worst. Add the injury to Jefferson, Johnson not there yet (if he'll ever be?), and Fullarton improving but ???, and we have a forward line that is a long way off kicking enough goals.

Agreed Bing. Not everything was poor, but when we were poor it was wooden spoon-ish. When we got 10 points up only to stuff it up in single moments so many times...

With so many things looking lifeless or getting worse, some of our younger players are looking very ordinary. They might improve and I hope it is quickly, but Langford is a real worry, and my man Windsor is a shadow of his 2024 season.

Smashed. Again.

But this time against a nowhere team.

While a win here wouldn’t have said too much about what we’re capable of, it could have at least given us some hope.

Turns out we don’t even have that…

Might be time to make the ‘back to hell’ DVD because there are dark days ahead.

Are we still learning and loving? 🤔

Norf are a nowhere team too.

I guess I should have stopped watching but I had to.

Why did the first 2 1/2 quarters look like a game of keeping off?

We look like we don't know where to be?

I felt for Tracc as it seemed to effect him the worse.

Maybe I will just stop watching this year. It's just to painful

we had 15 premiership players running around tonight

i expect a lot more than a few good signs

Christ, the footage of Chandler between Gawn and Petty talking to Jones.

Chandler couldn't even make eye contact with Jones.

He looked on the verge of tears.

We looked completely lost.

The third quarter showed they can apply pressure and move to create scoring opportunities. It shows me it is purely lack of care and want. I have no faith that Goodwin will do anything next week to shake up the team or change the approach. We will be watching the same ol every week until he’s gone. We are playing 2 down in the midfield with Clarry jogging between contests and Vineys inability to do anything but burrow in and t then torch the ball. To then work our way into the game and have senior leaders in May fluff a mark, Gawn fluff a mark and Petracca miss from 15 metres is embarrassing.

I thought the game was over as soon as Essendon scored their seventh goal of the game in the second quarter. We then start playing with intensity around half way through the third and began to look like the Melbourne we used to know only to lose the game all over again.

Only West Coast are a worse outfit than us right now but I'm not sure that replacing Goody is going to make us any better. Maybe if we still had Ooze at the club but that ship has sailed.

Saw that too and thought it very odd.

Is there anyone on this site still backing Goodwin in? Surely if this site is even a semblance of how the the power brokers at our club feel, then surely serious discussions are going to be taking place on Goodwin's future.

I keep hearing it's too early to sack a coach but do we have to be 0-10 before he's sacked?

Geez I’d completely blipped that from the memory. True but I see them winning more games than the bombers over the next few years. Team is decent. Still a while off, but I think the fans can have some hope.

I remember hope…


Facts

5 goals to 26 in 4th quarters . Horrendous

51 inside 50s - 8 goals. 15%. Horrendous.

Bombers - 43 inside 50s… 15 goals horrendous defending

16 centre clearances to 7 - score result 0.1

I’m 48. I was there in 1988 and 2000… And the Neeld era. But I’ve never been so depressed as an MFC supporter… Maybe my age is showing.

I’ve been on the fence but I think I’m on the “move Goody on” train. Too much talent out on the park to be playing this badly.

FWIW… I think the lads had a good crack.

My son came past and said dont worry dad, we'll be rebound in 2026. I didn't have the heart to tell him...

I am sure you'll find the odd one excusing him. While the players have been disappointing, ultimately the responsibility to prepare a capable team is on him.

Ahh yes ... That familiar feeling of utter despair watching this club self destruct.
The veil of negativity is like a warm blanket.

A blanket that has a whiff of urine

It’s hard to see us winning a game this year.

Nathan Jones will always be a club champion, but he has no place in the coaching box. Yet another deeply questionable decision by Goodwin to put him there.

Our players look like lost souls. Uninspired, lacking guidance, bereft of inspiration and purpose. The fumes of Roos, Yze, Burgess have long left the room and the team is looking to a coach who is, seemingly, only as good as the people around him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
