Maybe, but he takes marks and kicks goals. Iā€™d take that right now!!

He has this bad habit of leading on the forward line. Goodwin would never tolerate that.

    Ā 

    The [censored] umpiring also helps Essendon, who the AFL does like. Win/win for HQ.

    Ran out of legs each quarter.

    King birthday is catching up with us.

    Poor kicking.....blah blah blah...... broken record

    Surely it will be same broken record at the presser by Goodwin. šŸ¤¢


    If the footy review at the end of the season is genuine, there is no way Goodwin can survive.

    Players love him sureā€¦ but he canā€™t instruct them how to play winning football. Itā€™s a pretty [censored] simple equation.

    8.14 to 14.8

    Tells most of our stories from the last few years aye?

    I really think it's time Goody moves on. I appreciate the flag very much and we came so close to two.

    But I feel he's just too stubborn and keeps doing things that don't work.

    And when he makes a change the game is usually done and dusted.

    I know it's not his fault quite a few have been ordinary today but his playing Petty forward for two years is the definition of insanity.

    And it's true we don't have the players that's in part on him.

    And our kicking at goal has to ultimately land on his shoulders as well.

    It's not unreasonable to change coaches at this point. I just don't think I can handle another year, next year without finals.

    End of the year?

    That's it.....For the first time since 2021, I have turned the game off. Can't watch this [censored] anymore. Professional footballers my fat arzz. Uninterested prima donnas more like it.

    But you missed an amazing poster from Frizzer

    Ā 

    such a sheepish end to our year.

    Goodwin needs to go, his arrogance of the last 4 years is stinking up the place. Get rid of Richardson too whilst weā€™re at it.

    Need a big list overhaul imo. We have too many passengers that arenā€™t willing to put in hard enough for long enough.

    Delusional if anyone thought we would be contending finals this year. Same coach, same playersā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦..same results.

    Time to trade players who no longer want to be here and start again.

    Just waiting for the goal after the siren then I'm off for the year. Merry Christmas.

    The petty experiment has to be over . Love him but heā€™s just not a forward

    I never go into game day threads. Goodwin has got to go. It's not cr@p tall forwards, it is bombing. He doesn't get it.


    The club is so weak they will refuse to cut Goodwin and watch us continue the slide in 2026.

    Pathetic response today with the season on the line.

    Goodwin stubborn.

    Williams filling his super fund for years.

    May should cop a lip from his teammates for letting 7 goals in, like he was quick to give it to Max last week.

    Avg footy club.

    It's pleasing the Ratagolia has his one and only good game against us


    I mean... 'unrealistic attempt but he touched it' it is a cool call, too.

    The trouble is, the umpiring gets inside our heads.

    A few decisions go against us and we stop believing we control our own destiny.

    Incredibly, has been a problem since as far back as the Daniher years.

    He is a throw forward when needed type player.

    Turning off. Fy Melbourne

    For three quarters we tried hard. Missing easy goals and umpire gifts shut the door. Fatigue was always going to drag us down.

    Iā€™m over the same [censored] every week, every year. Cleaning out of coach and players. None have brain cells

    Might be an option save for the fact that we have a team of list cloggers (there, I said it) at Casey.

    Save for MJ, and possibly Brown, Mentha.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?
