Agree...But theres only a game between 8th & 15th....Competition is very close & if ur off 5% u lose!

Not Insipid performances as we are getting back into games and just losing... Very frustrating as they can't put 4 qtrs together and their starts have been poor in most games... Their ability to turn up at games is at question and on wanders were they still in Adelaide in the 1st qtr? Is this due to a lack of leadership or younger players who can't play at the intensity required each week?

Agree being sick of these loses... But unfair on Pettracca as its his second season after a knee reco....These young kids need 3-4 years of preseasons to become elite and build their tanks! Goodwin, very unfair only after 9 games & he's not going to lash at them in a presser!

Another wasted opportunity! Most of the team is still in Adelaide! Most of team were still thinking of their best win last week! Another deflating Sunday to ponder what could have been, Nth,Hawks,Freo,Tigers..... Definite Mental Toughness issues!!!!!

Another 1 & bit qtr football and almost won it....These players are there own worst enemy! Missed opportunity for the 3-4th time..... Goodwin needs to start providing answers! ( Not blaming him)

Thanks again MFC for another build up just to let us down!

FFS.....surely our players have a mental toughness issue! Anything is possible in the last qtr but don't understand the lapses & one wanders are still in Adelaide thinking its the best win???

Good teams learn how to win without their key players.....eg Hawks won flags without Buddy etc

I come close in 2012 after the Essendon game! Understand his frustration....but Goodwin getting judged after 7 games...very unfair! Positives are we are losing games closely playing only 2 qtrs of great footy! We can only hope when we play 4 qtrs we will win more than we lose!

Good teams find a way to play 4qtrs of footy... I agree when we play well it's great ., but the when we play poor it's terrible ... we're not a good team until we play well consistently ..

Our history suggests that .. but can culture carry over to a new playing list, coaches, CEO , president?

Mental toughness needs to be question as it's obvious the side is turning up & not ready to play @ the intensity needed.. Is it leadership? Is it personnel? Is it experience? Does The 3rd qtr & parts of the 4th dismiss all these? Even Goodwin doesn't know why...So what's the answer?

Im afraid game has gone past Trengove......Injuries and the crazy decision to make him co-captain with Grimes both only early 20s with the club on its knees destroyed their careers. You can thank Neeld for that!

Bottom line is we lost..... Team turns up asleep at the wheel for the 1st 1/2.... Supporters are frustrated to see how well they can play in the 3rd & 4th qtrs only to witness garbage in the 1st half! Thats 3-4 games which we should have won! As Goodwin stated good teams find a way to win!

Another missed opportunity . That's 3 games only playing 2qtrs of footy! Copy & paste decade after decade ..

Game over .. absolute disgraceful effort . I've restrained from saying but typical Melb side roll over for 50yrs....

FFS ... another pea hearted effort! Let's see if they can do a Bulldogs & comeback to win! My thoughts they will roll over! Hope I'm wrong but want hold my breath... Tom Mac needs to take a pay cut & his bro is useless!

Not writing them off! But I just wonder when will this club ever take the next step???

RIP Tony Jesse take your time as family comes first! To all including commentators who have questioned his body language.....Enough said!

RIP Take your time Jesse ..... To the muppet journos & supporters questioning his body language etc... like to see how they would be in similar position! An apology is in order!

Its called maturity.... Jack Reivoldt had body language issues also! Expectations are too high for a 21yo playing his 3rd season!

Footy gods against us re injuries.... Dumbness by Lewis & Hogan... Tigers getting exited who struggled to beat a side on one leg!

All we need is for the Ess scum to have a run on & Daniher to kick 7 as the Mac bros will be as lose as anything or turnover the ball to gift them easy goals!

I wonder when the footy gods will ever shine on us, as soon as we start assembling a good list were are dealt with a massive injury list to key players! How much depth can you have?

Injuries aside .. would love to know how Reivoldt had so much space ... We're was Tom Mac? Our defending was poor & too many easy goals
