Simon Goodwin Sacked
Thanks for the 2021 flag Goody. Should've been two or three. After 2021 such a waste of the best list most of us have seen or will ever see. 2023 was a finals disaster which set up our spiral down

Simon Goodwin Sacked
Dumb timing. Hey, let's sack our premiership coach with two games to go! Would've been better to let him see out the season. Maybe they've got someone lined up and gave Goody the option to which he decided to go? I haven't read too much online about it, guessing it will be the usual media vulture attack Imo was always going to happen. The cost will be frightening

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Liked the games by McVee, Langford and Chin. Great to see Fritter's form continue Max must be AA. Has to be.

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Like that they are playing the kids. Langford, Culley, JvR, Howes, McVee, Turner, Windsor. Maybe next week Lindsay, Jeffo, Kolt might be on the mix Regardless of Goodwin's status as coach, play the kids

Time to go Goody?

POSTGAME: Rd 20 vs St. Kilda
Goodwin managed to coach a record even Mark Neeld couldn't achieve Completely out coached by Laughing Ross Lyon And it's not unforseeable that we don't win again this year. Time to go this year, Goody We'll all be the better for it.

Time to go Goody?
Exactly, with a year to go on his $1mill contract, who's gonna sack him? By the end of next season it's not unforseeable that we could be back in Mark Neeld territory. No 1st round pick this year, on form they'll probably trade our 2026 1st as well, maybe 2027 too. Are we really gonna sell the farm to buy some dud magic beans and save Goodys coaching career? Like Dimma at Richmond? I sure as hell hope not. Max, May, Viney, Tmac, Melk near the end too Had Goodwin left at the end of last year he might've, in due course picked up another senior gig. Not likely at the end of 2026 with yet another bottom 5 finish. A career ahead on the rotating assistant turnstile awaits, Simon!

Time to go Goody?
Whilst that is true, it is also true that we are a bottom 5 team and have been for quite some time. It's time to find a benefactor to pay him out and look for another coach Thanks for the flag Goody, you're a life member and we will forever be grateful. But it's time to go at the end of the year

2025 MRO & Tribunal
And don't get me started about that [censored] hole Darcy Moore and his weekly knee-fest. The guy has so many ribs embedded in his knee, he's like a Transformer

2025 MRO & Tribunal
How the hell does Toby Green only get one match for that??? Surely not. So obviously deliberate. He targeted opponents head with a dropped elbow, full weighti of his body. Green has a history of sniping a mile long. If it were Kossie it would be 4-6, more certain than death and taxes Not going to happen for the love child club of the AFL

That melee. And our gines
He bounced it as he ran past the umpire. The tv vision didn't show that. From where he bounced to where he kicked it could arguably been too far, but he definitely bounced it

Who is our next captain?
💯 Claz Not a shadow of doubt

Jason Taylor - visionary or overrated
Not sure where to put this, or if it's been posted before, but there's a few to look forward to (until the AFL shafts us again with more targeted rule changes) https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1753057/melbourne-academy-players-to-watch

Jason Taylor - visionary or overrated
If, if we get Kalani White and Toby Sinnema this year without a 1st rounder, is that enough? Are we really in the hunt for PA's Bergman or GWS' Brown?
-
Jason Taylor - visionary or overrated
You are aware we have no 1st rounder this year? What might have been pick 5 is now Essendon's to use. Or are you talking about 2026 and 2027? My money is on Taylor/Lamb trading those picks out as well.

Media bias
Huh??? Gerard Healy has a particular dislike for Melb, has for years. Supposedly stems back to how he perceives he was treated by the club when he left, but I'm not sure about that. Even when we win he finds ways to make snide remarks, subtle backhanders that are wrapped up in an attempt at compliments. I like him when it's not us playing, he's a good commentator with excellent insight. Having said that, would rather him work a Melb game than Dermie, BT or screaming Brayshaw any day of the week

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
IMO it would be good to leave Jeffo in the side for the rest of the year. Then we'll have an answer about his ability at AFL level once and for all. He was very, very quiet today, at half time I wasnt sure he was playing 😳

Harry McKay leaving Blues?
Then he won't like the ball landing on his head from 200m up
