McVee and Gawn escaped with no sanction from the Match Review Panel

Unusual to be on the right side of the MRO or tribunal.

Thought McVee was gone for all money.

    i thought reid would have gotten done for a week too, they are obviously all on paid holidays to Europe or some bs
     

    How can you win when the opposition have 3 or 4 players getting around 30 touches each week when only Oliver looks like getting around that on a regular basis. All our midfield can get that many, but only once or twice a year. Most of them struggle to get 20. What happened to the string of handballs and run instead of dumping it long.

    I feel like you can’t have Fritsch Johnson Jefferson and van Rooyen in the same forward line

    Petty must be in the last chance corral, or close to it. No idea who replaces him if he goes out, feels like it's just shuffling the deck chairs.

    A forward line of Jeffo, El Jeffo and El Jeffo Cantina would surely get the job done!

    Time to gel the backline for future years - disco, petty, adams, lever as talls. If May has another year use him forward instead of flicking disco and petty all over the place.

    Might as well play Jeffo, JvR up forward for the rest of the year to see what we’ve got. Maybe even Kentfield.

    No real point in playing TMac or Melky now if retirement is on the horizon.

    Hows this for a wild idea.

    Why not try Petty in the backline where he was a premiership defender?????

    Why not have Langdon on a wing where he can use his endurance, run and carry out of the back half and into the forward line?????????

    And may try the young bloke Windsor on the other wing where he almost won the rising star last year??????

    I wonder if any of these would work???????

    It's because we suck again, so they are not after us. 🫠

    Looking forward to seeing Petty, JVR and Disco kicking 10 between them again at Gold Coast.

    Bring back T Mac to stiffen up our defence. If the club was giving him a mid season rest to recharge his batteries, then that's totally understandable. However he'll be needed next week.

    Swap May and Petty.
    bring in sport psych to deal with kicking.

    Be thankful I haven't spent money on flights/accommodations/beers for the next few weekends.

    I want to see the following side for the Gold Coast game (assuming fitness).

    Ins: Jefferson, Sestan & Tholstrup

    Outs: Melksham, Salem & Sparrow

    B: Bowey May McVee

    HB: Howes Turner Lever

    C: Windsor Oliver Lindsay

    HF: Chandler Petty Petracca

    F: Pickett Jefferson Fritsch

    R: Gawn Langford Rivers

    Int: van Rooyen Langdon Sestan Tholstrup

    Sub: Viney

    I know this won't happen, but I want to see Goodwin get some gonads and make some tough decision.

    I also wouldn't be opposed to Adams playing ahead of Lever and May at some point.

    If Viney does play a full game, GET HIM OUT OF THE MIDFIELD!! Play Trent as the primary mid and maybe give Viney 20% of CBAs max.

    To be fair, Demonland is full of criticisms of Goodwin for not trying different things. It would appear he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

    We have one, alongside Ben Crowe who also covers this area.

    Both presumably working overtime at the moment.

    More he flip flops if it doesn't work straight away. You need to stick to a plan. Not just rotate players in and out continually.

    • 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.

      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?
