The AFL wouldn’t hate GW$ getting to the pointy end. The East Coast is worth a lot of money on TV

I just don’t see it as the failure you do. Losses compared to what? Winning the flag? Last year we were cooked all over the ground. This year we were cooked in one third of the ground. Not making excuses, I’d like to see us work some areas of our game out that have been a problem for some time. But we have the players we have and you can’t always get who you want in to the side. The fact we should have won both games hurts but is also really promising. With no forward line and very few ball users we should be in a prelim. Draft/trade well this year and we could find something that makes a difference. You could have judged many coaches too early. Top 4 three tears in a row is tough to do. Winning flags is very hard 

We were 7 points up with a minute to play…

Good Sides don’t lose from there. 
We have lost 4 Finals in 2 years on the MCG. That is a Failure, and big changes must occur over Summer

I don’t think the epl is a good example for coaching. They are over the top reactive and they have an enormous pool to choose from.

Maybe it is us who don’t react quick enough 

It would be interesting to see the Club projections as to how much Cash and investment we have lost because of the last 2 years

He is a system based coach. You can’t reinvent the wheel on the go with sport. How do you prove someone would do a better job than goodwin with what he had at his disposal the last two finals series?

I expect a Coach to select a side that can win, when everything is on the line

To play TMac whilst Grundy and Schache are not used AT ALL, when Max has a Broken Toe to be a Criminal Offence. 
Losing 2 Sets of Finals on our Home Ground should never be acceptable. 
In the EPL he would be packing up his desk right now….

We have a few off half back. Just be nice to have (or recruit) some forward of centre. My fear is that we are in the premiership window now so don’t have too many years to find and refine. I have faith in our recruiters. Important trade period. 

If you are in The “Premiership Window” you don’t miss easy goals continuously….

We have a lot of work to do

2021 is a long time ago

Agree 100%. How do they fix the lack of elite (forward of centre) finishers though?

You find them and refine their skills. 
our opponents have them….

4 Straight Finals losses, ALL OF THEM  at The MCG. 

That is not LUCK. 

That is a trend. 
 

After Round 15 Carlscum were 15th

The MFC finished the Season below them.

Don't get me wrong. I'm as gutted about the way we went out as the next supporter and I don't know what you mean about stopping dreaming. Premierships are what it's all about and I would have been happy to forego every draft pick for the next 5 years for a Premiership. I see the need for people to vent, but I don't spend hours going through every negative post because personally reading largely irrational angry posts doesn't make me feel any better about what actually happened. All the Club can all do is learn the lessons, move on, and make the changes that will make a difference for the future. I suppose my take is that I never thought Melbourne would win even one premiership in my lifetime as a supporter (I started following them in the late 60s) so at least we have 2021 and I remain confident that we will win another one in the not-too-distant future.

But they don’t learn. The same system every week 

Goodwin should walk after 2 Straight Set Exits…

I started reading this thread trying to get a bit of a balanced view on this season but clearly too early for most people to see any positivity. My positive take for what it's worth. Our draft position is enhanced, we will get a better draw next season and losing like that was horrible but would have been considerably worse if it had been the Grand Final or even a Prelim next week in Brisbane (knowing that we would have had a great chance in the Grand Final the following week). Clearly we should have won last weekend which was the killer because we would have been close to a certainty to make the Grand Final and even win the whole thing. This week's loss even worse but if we had won we would have faced a considerably harder task next weekend against Brisbane.    

Stop Dreaming. 
 

We didn’t win anything…..

Definitely wasted and Failed Campaigns. 2022-23
They cannot be looked at in any other way. 
4 home finals. All of them lost

The Last 2 years have been a Fail.
 

We have lost 4 Finals on our Home Ground 

Coaches and Players need to change, we are close, but nowhere near good enough 

This talk of us having the best list in the League MUST STOP NOW!!!

The Club must reevaluate very carefully over Summer

Not having any talk about us being overrated.. we are the best side in it, should have won last week.

This will be the flag we gave away.. mark my words, our biggest chance blown!

We are not the best side in it 

We have lost 4 Home Finals….

Big changes over Summer

We are massively OVER RATED 

Killed ourselves
