Deesprate

There is no rectification. Our recruiting is diabolical. How is it possible to have so many bad players. There is simply no easy fix but years of pain and drafting. How has it got so bad. Who is accountable? The decline in membership will be devastating but who can blame people. If the Suns improve we will finish last next year.

Wagner non tackle led to that goal. The wagners sum this club up

Didn’t realise it was an English exam!

Other than TMac (stinker of a season) May (alway injured) Melksham & Van Den Berg (never plays) this is about as good as a Melbourne side can be. The perennial excuse of injuries doesn’t withstand scrutiny as many of our other injured players are B grade. This really is a winnable game and the club, coach and team really should be held accountable if they don’t. For that reason I think they will win. If they don’t it really confirm how seriously bad we are and why Gary Lyon assessment is so accurate. If we lose it hard to see us winning another game. Only Suns ineptitude saving us from the spoon. No wonder people laugh at you or feel sorry for you when you say your a Dees supporter. Since 1967 I have been a member what a hellish club to support but once your hooked there no changing. In a way you have to feel for Goodwin a young coach who walk into a seriously cursed club with a life long flawed culture. If Goodwin stay then for god sake revamp the assistants around him a bigger bunch of no names I have ever seen. At a club level push to get our facilities sorted it an indictment on the AFL that every club has state of the art facilities for players and admin except the foundation club of the game. With talk of Suns getting handout who have incredible post Comm games we are getting left behind. Maybe there should be a protest march to AFL house to get some equality.

Let not kid ourselves Eagles were in second gear and just put the foot down when they had to. Being the second worse team is reality irrespective of today effort; injuries and appalling umpiring. The club is in serious trouble slow on the outside; poor skills and non existent forward line. The question is after a rebuild of years how can we be so bad. The constant reference to it will click next year is delusional. This is not just about Goodwin but the systemic issues at the club such as years of failure; lack of quality facilities; poor recruiting and an invisible board. Losing Roos and Jackson has been catastrophic. Beyond Goodwin it is impossible to have any optimism I truly believe next year maybe even worse

Disgraceful decision

Preuss great recruiting Dees

Injuries have definitely been a factor but 17th on the ladder is beyond injuries. Absolute disgrace for everyone connected with the club. Excuses have been flying but seriously it beyond comprehension. Can anyone believe the last rebuild has been nothing but a complete con job yet no ramifications for anyone.

There are only two winnable games remaining Swans and Saints. Assuming we wiin one of those we finish with six wins and second last. What a coaching feat by Goodwin.

Brayshaw is a clown seriously pathetic

Game over. Can anyone see anything but mediocrity with this team. So many dumb players including Gawn out on full. Petracca miss sum it up

Fritsch effort encapsulate Melbourne soft as butter. Been slaughtered this quarter but for once the opposition aren’t kicking them from every where.

Why do our forwards alway fly together. Surely it not to hard to nominate one. Brayshaw zero awareness

Jones kick pathetic

Another belting coming up

Yep that what good clubs do. They don’t make excuses.

Spot on where being sold a lemon.

Looking at the positives it can no longer be paraded that we have been unlucky and time will sort this. Our list is dreadful and while Goodwin is coach we wont improve. There need to be serious change and the club need to accept that fact. When Roos left I had my doubts about Goodwin he is another Neeld. The whole board should also hang there head in shame. This just goes on year after year with the same crap spun to supporters. Who could have any confidence we won’t finish last next year where that bad. This is not just about one player but about a club culture that has existed for 50 years.

Sound extreme but where going no where. Injuries have been a convenient excuse we are simply no good

You might care to check he was at Hawthorn when they won three flags in a row

That optimistic seriously will be lucky to win two more games. Absolute shambles surely after being no good for years you have a right to expect better than this. Called it 40 points 30 minutes ago it was so obvious.

If you want to see how to do a club rebuild look at the Lions. Go out and get a gun midfielder and recruit a spine. Get a legend Hodge to teach kids what it about. Get a coach from a winning culture. Compare that to us we recruit a coach from the druggies. Say it all

This is just so typical at no stage could you have any confidence. The good aspect at some stage there need to be acceptance the last seven years of rebuild has been a farce. Same mistakes happening for years it never changes. Putting aside school yard errors the over possessing of the football particularly in the middle is pathetic. Whilst Goodwin is coach expect many more years of this garbage. Being bottom three is about right.

Woeful in the middle bottom three team

May been good
