@Neil Crompton round 2 NM game had already seal Goodies exit. The players were disinterested. Was the most pathetic onfield performance i have EVER witnessed. Any club leader would also have recognised this - im a tally astounded he wasn't walked out of the club then and there. If that time correlates with coffee with Bucks - it means our i coming Pres is 100% in tune with the needs of the club going forwards.

I thought the season was done after round 2.

I thought Goodwin was done after round 5. That loss to the Bombers in Adelaide was unforgiveable.

    I'm shocked that a coaching search panel hasn't already been formed.

    It’s about optics. The appearance of a process is the process. Think of it as a kind of insurance for the board, so they can say ‘We went through a thorough process’.

    Look at Andrew Dillon. Took the AFL a year of multimillion dollar recruitment fees to discover that, unbelievably, the best man for the job was in the room at the initial meeting.

    It's not about re energise of the Pies.

    McCrae can actually coach game plan and structures.

    So can Buckley. You don’t accidentally make grand finals or deep finals runs.

    easy to remember that one slightly worse kick from dom sheed and bucks is a premiership coach.

    All this coaching panel nonsense…

    As if we haven’t been calling candidates for weeks. Green said as much.

    Though some will suggest otherwise the writing was on the wall after 24.

    Cracks started to appear as soon as we lost against Carlton in 2023.

    We have a list that can be built on. Figure out how to trade Trac to Hawthorn and Clarry to Geelong.

    Bucks has plenty to work with if we can move on some of the old guard that are holding us back.

    It seems Buckley is keen, it maybe because he doesn't see us as a basket case. That being the case he gets the job. The other experienced head coaches don't grab me.

    Luggage nowhere in sight for him today, either!

    Who ever is coach,will they have the balls or the backing to move on Salem,Viney and Tracc,if not its more of the same

    Salem is a must.

    Viney, can't do that to a heart and soul player.

    Petracca, we'll see.

    Lever’s the one for me. Have to trade him. Disco’s only going to get better in his role. Enough there in Petty Disco May Adams Derksen Howes to cover him. There’s a club out there silly enough to give a first rounder for him, North or Bulldogs. He’s not going to be worth that again if we hold him for another year. Time to get aggressive

    Better to have a brain than 'balls'. Pathetic.

    Salem is a joke.. no wonder McVee is not happy. Viney is also our weakest midfielder. Oliver looked a different product today.

    Viney is done as a top liner

    Salem - Kangas?

    McVee can go , can be replaced

    Sparrow- can go, can be replacec

    Take offers on Lever snd May

    Accept Oliver and Petracca are probably just B plus players from here.

    So, I want to know everyone’s opinion on Chaplin not putting his hand up.

    He says he’s learning and happy to, but also wants to be a senior coach.

    I feel he wants to do it anywhere but at Melbourne and I’m curious on what you guys thinks going on there?

    Probably just means he's no mug and won't embarrass himself knowing we already had a sights firmly set on a Buckley/Longmire type

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
