I know I will get shut down for it, but still recon JVR will become a good CHF or CHB and will be a leader of the club. Tried his guts out, I think a new coach and some work with a Tom Hawkins type mentor will help him a lot this offseason

I would run through brick walls for Disco..

No home sick risk if the club where you are from don’t want you. Unless he wants a career change, he might just have to suck it up.

Cal Wilkie unhappy at Saints. Would be a great get, in the Steven May category. I would move on Lever and bring him across in a heartbeat!

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

Rivers poor kick was a killer. Oliver had a look today, I haven’t seen in years

Just want to see the Melbourne wrecking balls the next 3 week. Physical, up for the fight!

Very different appointment. He was brought back to reset a poor organisation, where other coaches wouldn’t be afforded the time. He was there under the agreement it was only a short term gig, with a handover.

Fitness might still be against him. If he plays he plays next week, not against the Mugpies.

Kentfield off no preseason is having some VFL season. Also like seeing Fullerton down back.

Adam Simpson spoke the most sense on this topic. You don’t want a coach that needs to be convinced to join your club (Longmire). You want someone who is dog hungry to prove themselves. Clarkson and to a degree Lyon needed convincing and ultimately it was the coin that got them over the line. Coaching is a tough gig, you need the desire to do the role justice

Danny Daly might be the Steven Bradbury of the coaching search.

Straight to the big club, make it disappear file..

Can we just get an agreement from the MCC and AFL that we can train at the MCG 2 days a week till Caulfield is handed over.. Fixed!!

Yes I agree with most points. Just like to highlight how good it was to see Windsor in the middle and gaining confidence in the final quarter. I think the next 3 games we should have a good look at what the starting centre bounce line up could be for round 1 next year. Lindsay, Langford, Rivers, Bowey, Chandler, Culley and McVee should all be looked at.

Hard to know the right call. Trac rightfully so, is not a bash n crash player anymore. Saw him opt out of 2 aerial contests on the weekend. He is a professional and trains hard. His kicking is awful.. probably see him more a forward than a pure midfielder these days Oliver appears to pick and choose when he puts effort in. His kicking is awful, but as a pure extractor- he could recapture form. Most likely elsewhere. Could see both leaving and doing well elsewhere, not sure we will see the best of them at Melbourne. So it comes down to what are you willing to get back for them. Goody loves the status quo and the past, so while he is here, it will be tough to see hard calls. Lever is a good one to trade out. If we get something back, then I’d be keen. Howes and Turner appear to cover him already.

Have we extended Goodwin after his coaching masterclass on the weekend? 🤔🤮

Our midfield and coaching strategy should be able to turn this poor bloke into a spud

This is a great idea. Huge number of passionate members, a cross section that I would say provide good representation of what is a ‘typical’ dees supporter. Club would be nuts not to take feedback if indeed they aim to improve.

Yes I get the surveys. Not very hard hitting.

Honest answer I couldn’t care less if we win another game this year. Won’t be watching either way. We are spineless and incapable of making tough decisions. We are still lapping up the flag season and have not moved forward. I know that the club will not get another dollar out of me while Goodwin, Richardson and co are there.

Can we have an MFC survey…? Clubs a joke, coach is a joke…

I feel even more validated that he is not the guy to lead us next year. All this talk about progress and transition is just smoke and mirrors. He hasn’t been able to address the key issues, being connection, scoring and stopping other teams momentum for 2 years now. He says we are not the same group, but yes in fact we more or less are…. He is excited about the progress, but with the exception of Turner, Bowey and Koz- all our young players from 2+ years ago are going backwards.

I do love that we have adopted player lead training. Might try it work. Rock up late, kick a few soccer balls. Work the first 3/4 of each day and then pull up stumps. Sounds high performance to me

“Hey Siri, what is the most Melbourne FC thing to do with a head coach that is not performing?”
