Simon Goodwin Sacked
If you are going back that far no wonder you are Cranky. The appointment of Dennis was met with the universal exclamation of Who?

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Club has come a long way since the chief selection criteria for a coach was price point. Remember when we appointed Northey because he was the cheapest?

Farewell Charlie Spargo
Might be in our best 25 though. Perhaps that says something about our list. Rule 1 in footy is get the ball and at his stage in his career not often enough. More than happy if he looks elsewhere. Or if he stays.

May to Tribunal
Yep wasnt wearing a MFC jumper. Still pick your battles. We got off with Rivers not being suspended for concussing Ryan.
-
How you doing?
I'm ok but Fritta and Turner are ropeable!!! Seriously it was good to hear Gawn speak and offer some hope for the future. First baby step in restoring trust. Every coach gets sacked eventually but I will always be grateful to Goody for 2021. More upset about the St Kilda game.

Farewell Charlie Spargo
Great football brain, and been a good servant of the club, but if he gets a chance elsewhere all the best. MFC Premiership Player.

Where is Fritta Going?
Well there is the hairdo as well

Langdon's 200th
Eds 200th will be 132 games for the Dees. Well done.

Where is Fritta Going?
Phew....

Training Ground?
We shouldnt leave Goschs until the new facility is built. Moving on an interim basis - Pies get Goschs and then caulfield falls through....and we are stuck in no mans land.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
How about Simpson and an absolute donkey...take your pick
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
I'm definitely not open to him moving back to Victoria. Bucks would be great if only to see Pies supporters hurling abuse. Hinkley, well he would finally get to coach Gawn, perhaps. Perhaps an untried coach with one of these more experienced coaches as head of football?

How you doing?
I am not all that upset about the sacking as i knew it was coming after the St Kilda debacle. Did the players know Goody had to present to the board days after? Did they vote with their boots? I am more angry with the playing group tbh. (Not Fritta and Turner ok?) Paul Keating said the Bob Hawke created political capital and he spent it. In my eyes the MFC gained much 'capital' by being unbeatable for like 2 seasons and winning that flag. Won (sic) for the true believers. That capital has now been spent. Norm Smiths, AAs, Club awards etc mean nothing to me; just momentos of a great career. Go wave them at St Kilda. I was pleased to read that Green, Angela Williams, Richardson and Chippindall went personally to Goody to break the news and explain the boards decision. Some decency there. And also that Goodys payout may be spread over 2-3 seasons. Now for a rebuild. If players want to go elsewhere in the twilight of their career, let them go. with due compensation. Clear out all the fringe players and if some are still contracted for next year tell them to start looking elswhere. Goody you are a legend.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Nathan Buckley - bizarre Hinkley - perhaps head of the FD but no

Simon Goodwin Sacked
Sad day for the MFC but it eventually happens to every coach and I thought if not this year, then most likely next. A good chance for some change in the list and the FD. Goody will always be a Melbourne legend.
-
Simon Goodwin respect thread.
Thanks Goody. I thought I would never see another flag and then 2021 happened. All the best for the future.

Judd McVee Contract
and getting 30 disposals, the most of anyone. Maybe Judd has done a 'Bont' and has refused to sign until the club recontracts some other players. Unlikely ...

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
What I liked about Jai's marking is that he seemed to be able to stretch even further mid air.

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Not on mine. 2 weeks ago I had us winning this game by 14 goals so we actually lost a close 1 by a point. On a serious note : WC are terrible and played true to form. We should have beaten them by a massive margin and we did. I am of the opinion that the ball travels slightly further at marvel which explains Frittas goal from 50+ metres and perhaps Langford not quite holding those marks. Go Dees.

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Can I just say that I have been downgraded from Extremely Angry to Very Annoyed after this win. Followup with a competitive performance against the Dogs

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
I wasnt gunna go, and the replacement bus has reinforced that decision. (There is some fella in a hard hat standing on the rails talking to his best mate). Still angry.
