    One point, we are not in crisis yet, 4/5 wins to finish and we will appear like a team on the way up.

    Doesn’t mean so much when the pressure is off. We can’t make September

    I prefer winning to losing games, but these last 7 games must be given the correct context.

    In all seriousness
in footy and even in life ..you plan 
you train and it all looks pretty good. Then comes the intangibles which you can’t control 
key injuries at the wrong time ..players just simply out of form 
& to quote Goody simply trying to meld the old & young with a new game plan. I’m totally disappointed with the season because I reckon if one of Trac or Clarry had played to their potential & if one of May or Lever didn’t get injured ,.I firmly believe that would have been enough to make the 8 but I had no illusions that we would go deep, I have seen enough of our game plan to see an exciting 2026 going forward. What is irrefutable is that Goody has the players back & they have Goody’s back. Put me in the “hand clapping majority”.. I don’t really care. I truly believe Goody will be coach next year.

    But it does my head in that the usual “Top Clubs” are always up there, regardless of the speed humps. They dip for a maximum 1 year and then Climb straight back up. But not the MFC


    Guys are getting paid around $ 1Mill a year inside this Club (Certain Coaches and Players) so i expect a far better output

    So many other Clubs just get on with it

    According to all the critics, we didnt need to trade in A grade talent because our list, which Goody obviously destroyed, was so absolutely wonderful. At least, that's the theme. Brisbane, WB, Geelong, and GWS supporters might have had the heretical view that their lists were as good as, or even better, than ours.

    Of course, it is possible that the list was very good but not perfect and that Goody did a great job in winning a premiership.

    But why were we not able to attract A Grade Talent? List Management and Free Agency is critical every off season
.

    we certainly let some very good players go, and they were replaced by Casey Regulars (Grundy aside, that’s a different discussion) 4 Years on and we have won 6 of 28 games.

    We cannot go into next year with the same Template

    What you fail to understand is that “true” supporters also like to look for positives & hope. That does not mean we don’t get bitterly disappointed when we lose or we don’t question the coaches but you seem to think your analysis of a “true” supporter means you must show negativity and blame. Goody will be coach next season and who knows how many pages this embarrassing thread will be up to by seasons end ..guess it just makes you feel better and “cranky”.

    Do you think this years performance is acceptable DS?

    You are quite happy to let things roll on into Season 26?

    You like losing ?

    I don't

    You can’t win hey BZB

    Even when you say you hate losing certain people still vomit at your answer.

    I Hate losing too, it sucks, particularly when 4 years ago, we were the number 1 Team in the Country, by a fair margin.

    Such a shame we couldn’t trade in some A Grade Talent after ‘21. I am still wondering why that didn’t happen

    I'd shake it up NOW... but by now I would be referring to the instigating of change.

    The first would be putting everyone on notice. A mini review. Not the waste of time review earlier. ( that's had wonderful results )... no, a better than cursory look at who's doing sfa to benefit the playing group. You'd run your eyes across the F.D. across coaching .. across the lot.

    Who's essential, who's not. Who's f'ing up who's not.

    Start negotiating with Simon. Everything IS negotiable. If you think it's not.... you've not negotiated 😉

    Start short list of coaches available... up and comers, seasoned etc. Look to get fresh eyes , fresh ideas.. An aspirant together with experience mentor for mine is the ideal.

    F off all the FD cloggers.

    Inform the List Managers to sharpen their quills... we getting seriously jiggy jiggy ar the trade table.

    In conjunction with that get better understanding of who can go, who stays.. contract exposures etc etc.

    Time to prune the Rose bush.... lest it dies.

    The first step is admitting there's a problem.

    Currently we don't

    I'd also address the playing group. Inform them the current state of play is not good enough. There will be change , there will be improvements. They would be told they are either part of the solution...or part of the problem. Everyone needs to understand the status quo will change.

    Get on board or get out the way.

    Yep. No point in waiting. We have all seen what is presently on offer

    For starters, how disrespectful he is to call those teams easybeats, or any team for that matter. Very unprofessional

    It will be far more disrespectful if we lose to those Teams

    So Goody should gather the players together and hum together to get everyone focused on kicking ball through goals!

    Do It Reaction GIF

    No Goody ain’t the man to do it

    He needs to bring in the right people. We have had the same messages for too long.

    What other Club has had the same fundamental problem for so long??

    You’re blaming the coach for our players not being focused on kicking the red football between the big posts..?

    You’re hilarious!

    I am saying they are not prepared

    Not funny at all. After 4 years the problem still remains

    The coaches aren’t kicking for goals!

    No they are not, but not enough preparation is given to psychological methods

    These guys in the Forward Line are defeated before the game starts

    THAT is on the Coaching Staff and Hi Performance Team

    1st quarter 1 goal 6 and 2 on the full, at worst should gave been 4-4, really 5-3 or 6-2 for level of shot difficulty!

    Professional footballers need to look in the mirror!! Players need to be held accountable!

    While I’m not made on the coaching panel - just repeat the stat:

    1 goal

    6 behinds

    2 on the full

    When you are dominating you need to put the score on the board!

    I remember Grundy said the thing he noted about Melbourne was how much time they spent on goal kicking!

    Sometimes it’s the players!!!

    Not when the Same problem has been there for 4 Seasons. You can’t just HOPE it rectifies itself

    Only managed to see half if the last quarter.

    Watched the scores

    I think we are mentally and physically weak.

    I do think we have so some very good players and some too old or past best 22.

    I think it’s the strategy we employ or football direction we employ that is terrible, Why for instance Kick backwards with only 1 minute 30 left and you are a couple of goals DOWN.

    FFS you are trying to get the ball forward ( quickly) and win. FGS (pardon the profanity ) as I yell at the TV . Sorry darling.

    Just as well we do not have kids. It’s up to others with football smarts, I am too old. Too stuck in my own ways.

    We need a clean out , some players but more strategy and direction staff. For instance. The players do not need to love each other or the coach .

    Respect is different. And we cannot kick for goal and we are not fit enough mentally or physically. I will read this thread twice more.

    Agree with this. I think our problems are more Coaching than players.

    Coaching includes Fitness and Hi Performance Staff. We are not prepared to a High enough Level.

    Players who are totally focused do not miss the shots we had at Goal in the First Quarter

    Rather than getting stuck into a kid who played 3 games in Jefferson, how about we put heat on guys like Trac who is a senior player that hasn’t hit a target all day?

    How about we put the Heat on the entire Team?

    Yes but those who are pointing at the membership drop-off are apportioning the blame on Goodwin alone

    Not a word about the insipid & weak efforts from the players. And that includes the players cosying up to the Collingwood players not long after Gus was king hit and forced to retire

    Still, the pay cheques keep coming don't they?

    The players have given up. Apart from Gawn, all our better players have been bog average

    ALL THAT COMES BACK TO THE HEAD COACH

    Reading all these comments does anyone actually think this competition can sustain a 19th and 20th team? If Tassie is to get a team a Melbourne based team must fold. Say what you want about the two most recent expansion clubs but they’re here to stay. Two teams in WA & SA works, two teams in QLD & NSW doesn’t really work but it was done with growth in mind. I’m all for one in Tassie but one must go. For me it’s North, yes sone people will be upset but I’d rather that than the total demise of the competition. For the remaining seven rounds how many times does anyone thing a team currently placed in the bottom 9 will beat a team in the top 9. I’m fully aware that Tigers had a dream run and are currently back down the bottom and Sydney played played off in last yearsGF and this is how the system is meant to work. But this time it feels different. Whilst I don’t think Sydney and Melbourne are as bad as were currently placed teams like North and bound to be down for a while.

    The biggest problem we have now is that the Top Sides are getting the Best Talent, they Top Up whenever they feel like it.

    And yes i agree a 19th & 20th Team will be a disaster at this point. Games will flood the TV, but how many people will watch a full game.

    It just gets boring. I am still angry North were not sent to the Gold Coast in 2011, this current problem was always going to happen

    Geez tigers have fallen not just off the cliff but Mt Everest! 3 flags aside the fall is dramatic, they are exposed & I fear will this be us if we start getting retirements & trade requests, whilst I hate the cats , their list mgt to only miss finals twice in 18 years! Feel for Yze hope they don’t start sacking coaches again

    Tigers were tipped to go through the Season winless by most, so they have actually done pretty well, but I doubt they will win another game this season

    Watching the last bit of the Bummers v GC, the Bummers have some good young talent and lots of injuries. What they don't have is a game changing midfielder or any team cohesion. What I hope they do have is another 2 decades in the footy wilderness.

    And as for GC, I love watching them and am genuinely envious. I loathed Hardwick as a the thug player he was, and it overflowed into his coaching, but he is an outstanding coach. In his 2nd year he has them humming along, tough, fast, skillful and fully united and aligned.

    I know everyone hates Hardwick, but he would be the perfect Coach for the MFC

    His press conferences are great, if he is angry he tells it straight, unlike Goodwin’s weekly Corporate drivel

    On the train back from the MCG. Against my better judgement I still went to this game 😁 Result was not unexpected, at least this means the Voss era is coming to a close soon. I feel for him, was a superstar footballer but just isn't senior coach material (not to absolve some of the players mind you) and he should have been given better support. It simply hasn't worked out.

    I still believe that in the right hands with some intelligent list management moves the Blues can be a contender in a fairly short time frame, but remains to be seen if enough levers can be pulled to get closer to that goal ...

    Such a Tragedy
