Would be sorely tempted to put Windsor on as a tactical sub. And with a license to move up and down the corridor.

    What the hell does Tholstrup bring to this team? Not even VFL standard.

    That's why these games are important.

    We play every youngster and discover who to keep.

    Anyone defending our coaches needs their heads examined.

    We are clueless with ball in hand and when the opposition has the ball. Our skills are deplorable and we make terrible decisions.

    Incapable of kicking to team mates advantage. Can't stick a tackle

    There is absolutely zero to hang our hat on. There is simply no phase of the game where we play acceptable football.

    We have a lot of overpaid players that should not be collecting a pay check

    North paying $5.20 at half time. Looks juicy

    Jefferson definitely crashing the packs. Competing well.

    Petraccas disposal is absolutely woeful.

    Didn't see Melksham go off? Is it serious?

    Did I hear the commentary correctly that Chocco is the kick Dr.

    Good Lord .

    I am ready to admit that I do not understand what Goodwin is trying to do to set us up for success in 2026.

    I do enjoy Langford and X playing more midfield. But otherwise I don’t know what the game plan is.

    I wish they’d give Chin more game time on the wing.

    Langford is contact shy. Can't play in the middle and had a pass because it's its his 1st year but he learning bad habits avoiding contact

    They haven’t really clarified the extent of the injury yet. Just mentioned he’s trying to get feeling back in his arm.

    Looks like a shoulder.

    We are cooked without him.

    Agreed I’m happy with Jeffo’s attack on the contest. It’s all you can ask for in game 5.

    Well I never thought a bloke from the Goonies would be drafted, but there he was today on Kossie, punching away behind the play, chopping, kicking in danger and scragging know where near the play.

    Which brings me to maggots. What a disgusting bunch today. Three incidents today of high hits not paid. Two kicking in danger. One deliberate trip. Nothing paid.

    And they feel insulted by being called maggots.

    1st half

    👍🏻Dees best Langford & Viney

    👍🏻Jeffo and JVR contesting is good versus average Roos defenders

    Kozzzy got hot for 3 minutes then went missing (did he get a knock ??)

    A few contributions from others but not of any real substance

    💔Goodwin allowing Mckercher to run free

    💔Poor? Kolt, Lever, McVee & 😭Turner

    Ahead but uninspiring. McVee is a worry. Rivers only 5 disposals. A lot of poor contributors

    Stating the obvious CF, but we're a team that no longer matches the sum of it's parts. My concern with Christian is that I no longer (or rarely) see him trying to bring his teammates into the game. Would like to see him being a little more team orientated. That may be harsh.

    They're playing up at stoppage but not at CBAs. The challenge for me isnt the kids not playing through the middle The issue is Petracca, Oliver and Viney are also there.

    On a positive note Langford is a jet and Jefferson is showing a bit even though not suited to a second tall role.

    • 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.
