First thing we lost was Yze.

I think based on how dominant GC was in Q1 and Q3 you can expect them maintaining the score gap pretty much unchanged through the last, If they were 100% invested. Unless they were just tired. It would be a first for us, we tend to be the team that runs out of steam in the last quarter.

Comparison: * Christian Petracca's goal assist per inside 50 disposal: 0.148 * AFL average goal assist per inside 50 disposal: 0.169 Christian Petracca's rate of 0.148 goal assists per inside 50 disposal is slightly below the AFL average of approximately 0.169. This suggests that while he's a significant contributor to Melbourne's inside 50s, the efficiency of those entries resulting in a direct goal assist is a little lower than the league average. The above analysis brought to you by Google AI.

It was always going to be hard to justify letting Simon go in 2023 after the flag. However, one do wonders if it was a mistake to extend his contract 2 years no strings attached before we knew the outcome of the finals that year.

It was effectively over by 3QT. Lots of "garbage" time goals. I am not sure we would have the ascendency in the last if GC had kept the pressure.

MFCSS in full force today

It's very dumb not to include clangers on those KE statistics. That's why I don't like us looking at it only from the POV of Goal/Behind ratio. I like more goals per inside 50 entry.

Paying A+ grade money to B- ( at best) performance.

It was a different competition in 2021. The problem is Simon won't keep Petraca and Viney out of the midfield. Can't do much about Oliver.

We definitely don't have a bottom 5 list. At least in my opinion. We may be middle of the road, borderline top 8. The damning part is (what most likely will be) two bottom 5 finishes in a row.

The lack of a KPF is a very damning stain for what was our premiership window between 2022 and 2024.

Spot on. Probably Simon doesn't want to hurt the feeling of his favourite sons.

Had to be someone from the younger brigade. Someone who will be here in 4- 5 years.

Btw, on Scott. He was basically on the cusp of winning another premiership every season. Perennial top 4 team and for the most part reaching Preliminary Finals. Simon, on the other hand, bar 2018 and 2021 has an abismal record 0-4 in finals (all played at the MCG). You can add to that list some finals like games: Last Rd in 2017 against Collingwood The North Queensland adventure against Fremantle and Sydney in 2020

Don't forget the further damage to our list that keeping Goodwin could cause. Players devoid of confidence or lack of improvements. No FA wanting to come to a sinking ship.

Not much respect for the Guernsey or the badge this season.

Who would you guys choose as our new coach? The writing is on the wall. Young or experienced?

Rinse and repeat, how many times I have read the same coping statement? "He needs to respond" He hasn't responded since we lost against Carlton in 2023.

Heck, even just put an interim coach while there's a due process to find out new man.

Cue in the rack, garbage time.

Most of us don't care, unless there is real change in many areas... Coaching staff and playing list for starters.

I'd that take anytime instead of living the dream... Centrelink 😜

Really the three amigos (Oliver, Salem and Petracca) have let us and the club down.
